AARP offers free tax filing assistance for seniors at Naperville Park DistrictAppointments available February through April  at the Riverwalk Community Center.
 
Volunteer tax preparers in the AARP Tax-Aide Program will provide free tax filing assistance to seniors and low- and middle-income persons at the Alfred Rubin Riverwalk Community Center beginning in February 2011.

Like thousands of other volunteers across the country, the local AARP Tax-Aide volunteers complete training courses in aspects of tax law with materials supplied by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The volunteers provide free electronic filing services using IRS software that also is used by many paid professionals.

·         Last year's tax return and tax records
