About Us
Welcome Arizona Taxpayers,
The ranks of AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers increased this year, as well as the number and hours of the preparation sites available to serve you. All Tax-Aide volunteers completed their training and IRS certification prior to the February 1 start of the tax filing season.
To make an appointment at any of our Tax-Aide sites in Arizona, please go to the homepage of this website and click on either the Appointments tab at the top, or the Click here for appointments at the bottom. Next, choose your county, your city, and then your site. Each listing will have either a phone number, an electronic link to click in order to make an appointment, or other instructions.
Please make sure you have all the required forms from your employer(s), pension benefit provider(s), Social Security Administration and any bank interest forms (not statements). You will find additional information on the Taxpayer Info page.
Due to the increased standard deduction, many taxpayers do not itemize, however it is still important to bring information or receipts for charitable donations, as Arizona provides an increased benefit for donations to qualified charities, even while using the standard deduction.
If you, your spouse or any dependents were a victim of identity fraud and notified the IRS, it will issue you an ID-PIN number, which is REQUIRED to E-file your tax return. Please remember to bring in this year’s IRS notice (mailed in early January) of your new PIN number.
Some taxpayers have health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. If you, your spouse or dependent used the ACA benefit at any time in 2024, you are required to bring in Form 1095-A to complete your tax return.
For more information and to fill in the required Intake Booklet prior to your Tax-Aide site visit, please click on the link “Taxpayer Info” at the top of the home screen on our website. Next, click on the menu “Before You Arrive” to see all available forms you may need. Remember to bring in your previous year’s tax envelope as well as all the required documents for 2024.
If you have a tax question, or if you received a notice from the IRS or Arizona Department of Revenue, we try to assist you. Start by contacting the site where your tax return was prepared.
We also invite you to use the Contact page of this website, where you can select the subject and include a summary of your concern in the message box. Please include a phone number and email address as well as which Tax-Aide site helped you with your tax return. Please do not include financial information or your Social Security number. A Tax-Aide volunteer leader will review your information and respond to you.
If you visited one of our Arizona Tax-Aide sites last year, we thank you and hope you had a rewarding experience. If this is your first visit to AARP Foundation Tax-Aide, we welcome you and look forward to assisting you with your tax preparation and filing needs.
