Beginning Friday, Feb.1, AARP-trained and IRS-certified volunteers are available at four locations on Maui and two locations on Molokai to help prepare federal and state tax forms. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is a volunteer-run tax preparation and assistance service to low and moderate-income taxpayers, with special attention to people age 60 and older. There is no charge. Tax-Aide volunteers may be able to provide assistance to homebound elderly, including individuals in nursing homes. Foreign language assistance may also be available at select locations. Appointments are required at some locations, so call ahead. Hawai'i taxpayers can locate the site nearest them by calling toll-free 1 (888) AARPNOW (1 (888) 227-7669) or by visiting www.aarp.org/taxaide.
