Tax-Aide Planning Return to the Effingham Public Library in 2023

After a two-year absence, AARP’s Tax-Aide services will return to the Effingham Public Library for the tax season that begins in February, 2023.  Although these free services focus on assisting low to moderate income taxpayers over 50, they are open to everyone.

Since the Effingham site was opened in 2016, hundreds of area taxpayers have received assistance, including 126 during the 2020 tax season when services were cut short by the pandemic.

A date to begin calling for an appointment will be announced later.

Tax-Aide relies on volunteers, and more are needed.  Volunteers greet taxpayers, check and organize materials, and complete and file tax returns.  Services are provided weekly for a period of about two months beginning in early February.  Training is provided for all positions, and no one is placed in a position where they don’t feel comfortable.  Anyone who might be interested in volunteering can go to aarp.org, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click on Tax Aide under INFORMATION FOR YOU to learn more.  They can also contact Wayne Savageau, Local Coordinator, at TaxAide.Effingham@gmail.com.  Without more volunteers, services may need to be reduced.
