AARP Washington

Chew to lead activities on behalf of more than 870,000 Washington State members

AARP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that empowers people to choose how they live as they age. We advocate for what is important to our members and give them a voice at the state and federal levels.

Washington's AARP Foundation Tax-Aide sites are open throughout the state to prepare and e-file personal tax returns. This free tax service is available to taxpayers of all ages and income levels. Appointments can be made online, and many sites also accept walk-ins. Most sites will prepare tax returns and e-file them through the April 15 filing deadline.
