AARP Tax-Aide is seeking new volunteers to prepare federal income tax returns for the upcoming tax season.
Volunteers prepare free tax return and electronic filing for low- and middle-income community members.
Last year, volunteers helped more than 4,000 taxpayers on the North Olympic Peninsula.
Training begins in December. All new volunteers must be signed up by December to complete the IRS training and testing in time for the tax season.
All volunteers study using training materials and software provided by the IRS.
Volunteers must attend training classes in Sequim and pass the IRS tests before assisting taxpayers during the tax season.
AARP membership is not required to volunteer or to receive free tax preparation and e-filing services.
To volunteer, complete an online application at www.aarp.org/taxaide.
Once the application is processed, the volunteer will be contacted.
