AARP Tax Assistance
With the tax season quickly approaching, seniors and low-income
residents can receive help through a FREE service offered by
AARP. AARP Tax-aide volunteers, trained by the Internal Revenue
Service and the Maryland Comptroller’s
Office, assist taxpayers over 60 and those in low-income tax brackets
file Federal and State tax returns. AARP membership is not required.
Annapolis area residents can contact Ernest Villamil from February
1 through April 15 at
410-757-4735 to ask questions or to make
an appointment.
