this is not real - this is a sample for staff to copy

AARP tax professionals will be available to help answer questions and prepare your tax return. Registration will shorten your wait. Those without appointments may not be served if schedule is full.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: 

- Please arrive 10 or 15 minutes before your scheduled time to complete the Interview Form. Failure to be on time may affect the tax preparer's ability to assist with your taxes.

- If you are filing with a spouse/partner, only one of you needs to sign up, but both should show up for the appointment.

- If you are filing both 2024 and 2025 tax returns, you must sign up for two different appointment times, preferably one after the other.

- Bring a picture ID, Social Security Card or annual statement and last year’s tax return. 

- Make sure you have all of your tax documents with you:

• W-2, 1099's (bring all pages of 1099 brokerage accounts),
• real estate (property) taxes paid or rent paid with the name and address of the landlord.
• Bring any letters the IRS may have sent you (Loan forgiveness). If you had Marketplace Health Insurance, bring Form 1095-A.
• The federal government is discouraging mailed refund checks. Therefore, bring a check or your bank’s routing number and your account number.
• If you receive tips or overtime pay, bring documentation.
• If you bought a NEW car in 2025 and it was assembled in US, bring in the VIN# and amount of interest paid.
• Bring along documents that show expenses for any self-employment, including health insurance and long-term care. 

- Bring a pen or pencil to fill out the interview pamphlet and remove documents from their envelopes to speed things along.
