AARP Tax Aide To Suspend Tax Preparation Monday, March 16
Scheduling Notice: Due to Coronavirus Concerns, AARP
Foundation Tax-Aide Suspends Service Until Further Notice
WASHINGTON—AARP Foundation Tax–Aide, the nation’s largest free, volunteer-based
tax preparation and assistance service, announced today that it will suspend tax
preparation services at all sites effective Monday, March 16, until further notice. The
action is due to concerns about the spread of coronavirus. The program’s
website, www.aarpfoundation.org/taxaide, is the best resource for information and
changes in service availability.
“Tax–Aide is prioritizing the health of taxpayers, our volunteers, and the communities we
serve by suspending service until further notice,” said AARP Foundation President Lisa
Marsh Ryerson.
Tax-Aide will continue to assess whether some or all sites can re-open during this tax
season as regularly scheduled, or during a longer tax season if it is extended.
While Tax-Aide provides free tax preparation and filing services to all taxpayers, many
of its clients are over 60, a group considered by health experts at higher risk for COVID-
19.
