In The Community: Free Tax Counseling

AARP Tax Counseling for Moorestown and Maple Shade residents
Each year, AARP volunteers offer free assistance to low and middle income taxpayers, with special attention to those 60 and older, with the preparation of their tax returns.

You do not have to be a member of AARP or a senior to use the program.

The trained volunteers assist with:

  • Federal tax returns
  • State Tax returns
  • Homestead Rebate applications
  • Property Tax Reimbursement applications

The counseling will take place every Friday from February 7th through April 11th 2014 at the Hope Community Church, 235 West Main St, Moorestown (next to the CVS and opposite the Wawa). There is ample parking behind the Church which can be accessed from either Main St. or 2nd St (use the door at the back of the Church – which is on ground level – to enter the room where the program will take place).

In an effort to reduce waiting times, appointments will be required. To sign up for the program, call the Moorestown Clerk’s office at 856-235-0912 extension 3016 during normal business hours. Appointments will be made for the program with the first appointment at 9:00 AM and the last appointment at 12:45 PM.

When coming for your appointment, bring:

  • a photo ID
  • your tax return from last year (2012)
  • the tax booklets received from the Federal and State tax offices along with supporting paperwork for this year’s (2013) return.
  • If itemizing, bring backup information.
  • If filing jointly, both parties must be present.
