Volunteer with AARP Tax-Aide for the 2025 Tax Season

AARP Foundation Tax - Aide Seeks Volunteers for 2025 Tax Season

AARP Foundation is currently recruiting passionate people throughout Maine to join its Tax-Aide volunteer team for the 2025 tax season. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is the nation’s largest free volunteer-based tax assistance and preparation program in the United States and is offered in conjunction with the IRS. Tax-Aide provides tax preparation assistance to anyone, free of charge, with a focus on taxpayers who are over 50 and have low to moderate income.

In 2024, 255 Maine Tax-Aide volunteers in 47 locations helped more than 14,340 taxpayers file their federal return and 15,775 taxpayers file their state return.

Tax-Aide counselors are trained and IRS-certified every year to ensure they understand the latest changes to federal and state tax codes ensuring taxpayers will receive the refunds and tax credits for which they are eligible.
 
Many more volunteers are still needed throughout Maine to meet current and future demand for federal and state tax assistance.

Volunteers may serve in a variety of roles, including Leadership & Administration; Tax Counselor; Client Facilitator; Communications Coordinator; Training Coordinator, Instructor, and Technology Coordinator. AARP membership is not required for volunteers or for those receiving tax preparation services.

Volunteers typically are trained in December and January and actively support tax services from early February through mid-April. Volunteer time commitments and schedules are flexible and will vary based on the local Tax-Aide site.
