John Spaeth, area coordinator for AARP's tax assistance program, just popped into my office a second ago and told me in his enthusiastic way that between February 2 and March 6, they processed 204 returns and got the people of this area about $141,000 worth of tax returns.
The AARP volunteers get training to help people find the deductions, exemptions, etc. they may not know about and do their best to help people get them. Mr. Spaeth emphasized that not everyone will get a return--some people DO have to pay--but if a return is due, they try their best to find it.
By the way, the help is free, though they do accept donations from the grateful.
