Tax Preparation Volunteers Sought

The Allegany County Office for the Aging is looking for volunteers to help people with their tax returns.

This is a great opportunity for people who like working with numbers and have some free time during the months of January (for training), February, March, and April.

The Tax Counseling for the Elderly Program (TCE) offers free income tax assistance for low to moderate income Allegany County residents. Volunteer Counselors are trained and certified to help people who are 60 and over with federal, state and local returns.

The Office for the Aging partners with the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to provide the TCE program.

TCE Volunteers handle basic forms. If the client's return is more involved, the volunteer directs the person to go to a paid preparer. The training is in Belmont Jan. 14, 16, 18, 22, 23 and 25, 2013.

If you are interested in joining the team of TCE volunteers, or if you would like more information, please call the Office for the Aging 585-268-9390 or toll-free 1-866-268-9390 and ask for Lynn.
