Volunteers Needed to Help

Seniors and Disabled Residents With Taxes

 

The Somerset County Office of Volunteer Services is looking for volunteers to provide free tax counseling for older adults and disabled residents in the county. 

 

Volunteers must be 18 or older.  Free training will be provided.

 

Assistance is provided annually to seniors and disabled for federal and New Jersey state income-tax returns and for the Property Tax Rebate Program.  The program is sponsored by the AARP, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the Somerset County Office of Volunteer Services.  Appointments will be scheduled Feb. 1 through April 15, 2010, at convenient locations around the county. 

 

Anyone wishing to volunteer as a tax counselor and receive training should call Laurie Beckhorn at (908) 704-6338.
