2023 Tax Season Concluded
We have completed our 2023 tax filing season, and our sites are closed as of April 16. We expect to be back in February 2025, so please visit us then to have your 2024 taxes prepared.
Off-Season Filing
Tax-Aide sites are closed, and the AARP Tax Site Locator is not functional.
However, plans are being formulated to offer tax preparation in Santa Monica at the Ken Edwards Center, 1527 Fourth St., on select days during the months of May through August. More information will be posted here as it becomes available. Please check back.
The IRS and Tax-Aide provide qualified taxpayers with access to free software to prepare your federal and state tax returns totally on your own.
