Once again, NeighborWorks Waco will play host to the AARP Tax-Aide program. As always, this is not our program—it is run entirely separately from our operations and overseen by AARP, though we do provide office space at no-cost to the organization.
This service allows hundreds of families, all from diverse backgrounds across our community, receive professional help preparing their income tax for the previous year. This service is offered to the community totally FREE of charge.
The trained professionals from AARP’s Tax-Aide program have a wealth of experience assisting in the preparation of taxes for families at all income levels, and is ready to help you get the most from your tax return.
The following information pertains only to the 2022 tax season, and should not be relied upon for future years, as the Tax-Aide program is subject to change.
For our location at NeighborWorks Waco, please call (254) 315-3176 to set up an appointment for Wednesday and Thursdays only. Clients may sign up for a specific appointment time between 11 AM and 4 PM, and are expected to arrive back at the office 15 minutes before their designated appointment time.

AARP Tax-Aide is a program of the AARP Foundation, offered in cooperation with the IRS. The AARP Foundation is AARP’s affiliated charity. Foundation programs provide security, protection, and empowerment for older persons in need. Low-income older workers receive the job training and placement they need to rejoin the workforce. Free tax assistance and preparation is provided for low and moderate-income individuals, with special attention to those 60 and older. The Foundation’s litigation staff protects the legal rights of older Americans in critical health, long-term care, consumer and employment situations. Additional programs provide information, education, and services to ensure that people over 50 lead lives of independence, dignity, and purpose. Foundation programs are funded by grants, tax-deductible contributions and AARP.
