AARP Providing Free Tax Prep Throughout Hudson Valley

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — It’s tax time everywhere in the Hudson Valley, but — not to worry — no one has to face it alone.

AARP is providing tax assistance to anyone, free of charge, in locations throughout the region.

Through April 15, AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers are available to help with most, but not all, tax returns, according to a spokesperson.

Tax-Aides can help people file a variety of income tax forms and schedules, including self-employment income, most income reported on Form 1099-MISC, economic impact payments, IRA contributions and health saving accounts.

They cannot prepare returns with complicated capital gains/losses, rental income and Alternative Minimum Tax, to name a few.

For a list of forms that AARP can and cannot help with, go here.

Sites where tax help is located include the Poughkeepsie Plaza Mall, the Neighborhood Center in Peekskill, the Mamaroneck Public Library, A.A. Capellini Community Center in Yorktown Heights and the New Rochelle Public Library.

To use the free service, AARP membership is not required.
