AARP Tax-Aide is looking for volunteers to become members of a team providing free tax-preparation service in Contra Costa County.
Tax-Aide needs individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences. While prior tax-preparation experience is beneficial, it is not a requirement. The program provides comprehensive training and ongoing support to ensure that all volunteers feel confident and capable in their roles.
Volunteer positions include tax counselors, who are trained by Tax-Aide and certified by the IRS and client facilitators, who schedule appointments and assist clients at tax sites.
Orientation sessions will be held in December and certification classes start in January 2027. Tax-preparation service is from February through April 15, 2027.
Visit Tax-Aide’s website at www.tinyurl.com/tax-ccc for additional client information. To learn more and apply online, visit www.aarpfoundation.org/taxaidevolunteer or call 1-925-726-3199 for additional information.
The Tax-Aide program is administered by the AARP Foundation in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service, the California Franchise Tax Board and Contra Costa County. Volunteers do not need to be AARP members.
