It’s tax time again and once you’ve retired your tax picture can change dramatically. There are tax preparation services available, but for those on a fixed income, paying the high fees of an accountant or tax-preparer may be budget-busting.

For seniors, AARP offers Tax-Aide – a free, volunteer-run tax counseling and preparation service. 32,000 volunteers provide free tax preparation and assistance services to low and middle-income taxpayers, with special attention to those 60 years of age and older. Electronic filing and online counseling are also offered.

Go to the AARP website for more information about Tax-Aide and to find a Tax-Aide site near you.
