• Volunteering with AARP Foundation Tax-Aide: direct interested persons to aarp.org/volunteer/causes/tax-assistance/, 888-775-2277, or connect them with your District or Local Coordinator (DC or LC).
  • Direct those interested in volunteering for other AARP programs, such as AARP Foundation Experience Corps and AARP Driver Safety Program, to aarp.org/giving-back; they can also call the number above.
  • Donations: Tax-Aide volunteers cannot accept money, nor are they allowed to bring up the subject of donations with a taxpayer.
    • Taxpayers who ask about donations should be told they may send a check payable to “AARP Foundation Tax-Aide”, to the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Program, 601 E Street, NW, Washington DC 20049 (envelopes with this address already on them can be helpful). Ask them to write your sub-state - CA1, CA2, CA3, CA4, or CA5 - on the check’s memo line. 
  • If the laptop computer in your custody is lost or stolen, you must report the loss/theft within 24 hours to your LC and to the AARP National Office, 800-424-2277, ext. 32038 or 36027 (202-434-2038/6027 outside of regular business hours). You also should promptly notify your local police department.


NOTE:  This manual alone does NOT qualify out-of-state preparers to prepare California returns.

Neither does California participate in STAP (Tax-Aide State Tax Assistance Program) for preparing out-of-state returns for which no training has been provided.
