The American Association of Retired Persons Foundation will offer free tax services in Princeton through their Tax-Aide program beginning in February.

All Tax-Aide volunteers are Internal Revenue Service certified tax counselors. AARP Tax-Aide provides free in-person tax assistance and preparation during Feb. 14 through April 11 at the Bureau County Senior Center, 16 W. Marion St., Princeton. Appointments are scheduled between 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Tax returns can be prepared for most but not all. Although the program is aimed toward older adults with low-to-moderate income, anyone can use Tax-Aide regardless of age, and you do not have to be an AARP member. For more information, call the BCSC at 815-879-3981 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. beginning to set your appointment.
