AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Program Begins Annual Free Tax Return Assistance
GREATER LANSING – The Tri-County Office on Aging (TCOA) and the AARP Foundation are partnering once again to provide free tax return assistance and preparation through the AARP Tax-Aide Program beginning January 30 through April 13, 2023. The Tax-Aide program is available to anyone, with a special focus on taxpayers who are over 50 or have low to moderate income. You do not need to be an AARP member to receive an appointment.
TCOA will set appointments and provide office space for the Tax-Aide Program. Your taxes will be completed and filed at this appointment. Please note that appointments are required and may be made by calling TCOA at 517-887-1440. Appointments will be available Monday through Thursday at the TCOA office located at 5303 S. Cedar St., Building 1, Lansing, MI 48911.
Some tax returns are outside the scope of the Tax-Aide Program. If you have rental property, farmland, run a small business, receive a Schedule K-1, or have multiple transactions on an investment account, Tax-Aide may not be able to assist you with filing your tax return. For those tax situations, it is best to contact an alternative tax service.
