Preparers for the Local Tax-Aide Program Graduate – Volunteers begin preparing tax returns for seniors on Feb 3
On Friday, January 24, 2014, 18 volunteers completed the tax
training and certification for the current tax season. This program is funded
by and run under the direction of the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Program and the
IRS. The program is locally headed up by Rick Sprenkel, the AARP Dicstrict
Coordinator.
Volunteers will begin preparing tax returns at the Amador
County Senior Citizens Center in Jackson
on Monday, February 3, 2014. As part of the nation’s largest volunteer-run tax
assistance and preparation service, Amador volunteers will provide services,
free of change, to low and moderate-income taxpayers with special attention to
those age 60 and above.
Each tax volunteer graduate has completed 30 hours of
classroom training as well as 30 or more hours of home study in tax law and
preparation before taking the certification test. Each volunteer must take the
training and pass the certification test each year. The local program is proud
to say we have volunteers who have been with the program 10 or more years along
with 6 new volunteers this year.
Of prime concern to all of us these days is Identity Theft.
In this light, the Tax-Aide program recommends that everyone file a tax return
regardless of your income level so that your social security number can be
checked by the Internal Revenue Service and the Social Security Administration
to be sure no one else is trying to use it.
Locally, the Tax-Aide program partners with the AmadorCounty Senior Center .
To make an appointment for tax preparation, please call the Senior Center
at (209) 223-0442. Appointments will be take place at the Senior Center ,
229 New York Ranch Road ,
Jackson between 9 AM and 4 PM on
