Is your senior (or are you) beginning to fret about
April 15th and
getting taxes done? Many of our older folks are terrified about
making a mistake on their federal return, yet they don't have an
affordable tax preparer they trust.
There is a volunteer tax preparation service that can be a big
help.
Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE)
|
The Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) Program
provides free tax help to people age 60 and older. Trained
volunteers provide free tax counseling and basic income tax return
preparation for senior citizens.
As part of the IRS-sponsored TCE Program, AARP offers the Tax-Aide
counseling program throughout Texas during the filing season.
Trained and certified AARP Tax-Aide volunteer counselors help
people of low-to-middle income with special attention to those
aged 60 and older.
Items taxpayers need to bring to a volunteer
site to have their tax returns prepared:
|
-
Proof of identification
-
Social Security Cards for you,
your spouse and dependents and/or a Social Security Number
verification letter issued by the Social Security
Administration

Birth dates for you, your
