TAX COUNSELING FOR THE ELDERLY (TCE)

The Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) Program provides free tax help to people age 60 and older.  Trained volunteers from non-profit organizations provide free tax counseling and basic income tax return preparation for senior citizens.  Volunteers who provide tax counseling are often retired individuals associated with non-profit organizations that receive grants from the IRS. 

As part of the IRS-sponsored TCE Program,  AARP offers the Tax-Aide counseling program at more than 7,400 sites nationwide during the filing season.  Trained and certified AARP Tax-Aide volunteer counselors help people of low-to-middle income with special attention to those age 60 and older. 

For more information on TCE call 1-800-829-1040.  To locate the nearest AARP Tax-Aide site, call 1-888-227-7669 or visit AARP's Internet site.
