AARP Tax-Aide Program
We are delighted to announce we will continue to offer the AARP Tax
Assistance Program at the Preston Senior Center again this year. Our schedule
begins with Wednesday, February 14th at 10:00 a.m. Sessions will be conducted
on two-week intervals including February 14th, February 28th, March 13th, March 27th and concluding on April 10th. Appointments will be scheduled at one-hour intervals starting at 10:00 a.m. and continuing through 1:00 p.m.
AARP Income Tax Assistance Program is free of charge and will be
conducted at the Preston Senior Center, 42 Long Society Road. The income tax
preparation assistance is designed for low and middle-income tax payers of all
ages, with special attention to those individuals who are 60 years of age or older.
We also request that you bring your Income Tax documents from 2022 which you filed.
If married, we ask that both husband and wife are present during the
income tax counseling session. Taxpayers must bring all documents which they
have received that apply to their 2023 income tax.
If you are interested in scheduling an appointment with a Certified AARP
Tax Counselor, please call the Senior Affairs Office at 860-887-5581 extension 6
leaving your name and telephone number and a brief message. You will be
contacted regarding scheduling availability.
When coming to your appointment, we strongly recommend that you bring
your 2022 income tax documents with you.
The AARP Tax Assistance Program is provided FREE of Charge by extremely
well trained and Certified Counselors. We anticipate having three counselors
available this season. The Counselors make every effort to ensure accuracy and
they complete each and every income tax appointment in a professional manner.
On occasion some income tax appointments take a little longer to complete than
others. We ask you to be patient as its not the intent to complete as many returns
as possible but to allow ample time to complete each return accurately. If you
need to cancel your appointment, a courtesy call letting us know would be helpful.
