A large percentage of our client-taxpayers are EITC-eligible individuals, as well as eligible for CTC and other credits. We proudly provide service to these taxpayers. TaxAide is an IRS sponsored program, administered by AARP TaxAide. Our tax counselors are trained using the same IRS-provided training material and program as the VITA preparers, though often our counselors are trained to a higher level of knowledge of tax law. We have to pass the same annual certification test as VITA volunteers. We also do not have the $49,000 income limit imposed by VITA.

As a 7 year volunteer with the program, I have assisted many low-moderate income individuals who are eligible for EITC, etc., just as my co-volunteers have done. I know there are locations where a VITA site does not exist, or where one may not be convenient to a potential user, but where there are TaxAide sites available to them. We are not in competition with VITA, but feel our programs are complementary (and I believe the intent of the IRS is for that too). I am an active counselor and manage a TaxAide site, and serve on our State Management Team. I say these things to assure you I have a good sense of the TaxAide program.

You may wish to contact our National office at taxaide@aarp.org for more information, or visit our website at http://www.aarp.org/money/taxaide .

Thank you, Frank Hill – a proud TaxAide Volunteer
