The IRS has a Tax Counseling for the Elderly Program which offers FREE tax help to individuals who are aged 60 or older. Trained volunteers from non-profit organizations provide free tax counseling and basic income tax return preparation for senior citizens. Volunteers who provide tax counseling are often retired individuals associated with non-profit organizations that receive grants from the IRS. This cooperative agreement is authorized by Section 163 of the Revenue Act of 1978, Public Law No. 95-600, 92 Stat. 2810, November 6, 1978. As part of the IRS-sponsored TCE Program, AARP offers the Tax-Aide program, assisting with tax services in every state and the District of Columbia in places such as senior centers, libraries, community centers, and other convenient locations across the country. Trained and certified AARP Tax-Aide volunteer counselors help people of low-to-middle income with special attention to those aged 60 and older. For more information on TCE call 800-829-1040.
