AARP Providing Free Income Tax Preparation at City Senior Centers

Staff Report February 8, 2016

The AARP Foundation is offering free tax preparation for low-to moderate-income taxpayers at various City of El Paso Parks and Recreation senior centers through April 15, 2016.

Any person, of any age, may use this service and does not need to be an AARP member. Each individual tax return usually takes volunteer tax preparers about half an hour to complete. The free service is on a first come, first served basis so early arrival is encouraged.

“Last year AARP did over 6,800 tax returns through the various locations.” AARP Foundation Coordinator Carol Baker said.
