AARP Tax Assistance Updates:  

Please Note the Whitney Senior Center front desk will not be able to assist you with questions about taxes and appointments.  They will give you the same information that is provided below.  Thank you.

AARP TAXAIDE will only prepare taxes by appointment  this year due to the precautions they are taking for COVID-19. There will be two appointments – one to collect your tax information and another a week later for you to receive the printed return and authorize us to file your taxes.

The appointment line, 320-200-9704  is updated every Sunday afternoon with a message notifying you of the times to call for the week to make an appointment.   You will be asked to leave a message during those times and a scheduler will call you back during the week.  For the week of March 1^st, messages can be left from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm on Monday, March 1^st, and Tuesday, March 2^nd.  

Please only leave one message and wait for your call to be returned.  Volunteers have scheduled over 500 individuals to date.  They are working diligently in trying to return calls and set up appointments.  Remember to please be patient and kind to the volunteers offering this service. 

Tax preparation will begin on February 16th and will be on every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM through April 15^th.
