Our AARP tax helpers

In 2011 our AARP tax preparers filed over 750 returns with a 99% accuracy rating!
 


Every Winter, Mohler Center and AARP team up to offer free tax help for
low and middle-income seniors over 50.
 

This program is open to all members of the community, not just Mohler Members.
During this program the Mohler Center does accept monetary donations to continue to support this free and valuable service.

Our volunteers complete four types of returns

Federal -1040

Pennsylvania PA-40

 Local earned income tax

 Pennsylvania Property / Rent Rebates.  

 

 

What should I bring with me?

Persons wanting their taxes prepared must bring all their statements that define wages, interest, dividends, pension, social security, unemployment, gambling, or any documentation they have received that contains instructions to “save for income tax purposes”. Also, documentation showing original purchase price of sold assets such as stock sales must be available. In addition, a copy of last year’s tax return with all supporting tax documentation is needed. For Property or Rent rebates, bring in 2011 Property Tax Bills marked “paid” or a rent certificate signed by your landlord stating the amount of rent paid in 2011.


Please note: AARP Tax-Aide does not prepare forms for clients with large numbers of stock transactions, casualty losses, cancellation of debt, or income from farms, business or rental properties.
