Get free tax law training, help senior citizens
From the Allegany County OFA,
The Office for the Aging is looking for volunteers to help people with their tax returns. This is a great opportunity if you are looking for a way to help others in your community. You do not need prior experience, but if you like working with numbers, are comfortable using computers, have experience in filing your own tax returns, like working as a team, and have some free time during the months of January, February, March, and April this may be a chance to use your skills and make a difference. You will receive free tax law training to help prepare basic tax forms. The training is in Belmont on January 12, 14, 16, 20, 21 & 23, 2026. Tax preparation is in Belmont starting in February through April 15 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The Tax Counseling for the Elderly Program (TCE) offers free income tax assistance for low to moderate income Allegany County residents age 55 and over. Volunteer Tax Counselors are trained and certified to help with their federal and state tax returns. The Office for the Aging partners with the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to provide the TCE program.
If you are interested in joining the team of TCE volunteers, or if you would like more information, please call the Office for the Aging 585-268-9390 or toll-free 1-866-268-9390 and ask for Karen.
