Tax-Aide is a free Income Tax Counseling Service for older persons sponsored by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service, under their Tax Counseling for the Elderly Program.

Volunteer counselors, trained by the Internal Revenue Service, will also assist older persons with New York State returns - in addition to their Federal returns.

This program has been offered in Chili for the last fourteen years and during that time over 6,000 tax returns have been prepared, free of charge, for senior citizens.

Starting February 1, 2001, this service will be available on an appointment only schedule at Chili Town Hall, on Thursday and Friday mornings. All records of income and expenses for 2000 and a copy of your 1999 tax returns are necessary.

Call the Chili Town Hall, 889-3550, for an appointment.
