Taxpayer Information

Welcome to AARP Foundation Tax-Aide, the free tax preparation program provided by AARP Foundation volunteers.

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is the largest free, volunteer-run tax assistance and preparation program in the United States. In Louisiana, we offer in-person and virtual tax preparation help to anyone for both federal and Louisiana state taxes. Our services are free of charge, focusing on taxpayers who are 50 or older with low to middle income or to those who cannot afford paid tax preparation. 

Service Types 

Tax-Aide has several options for providing taxpayer assistance. These options vary by location and are subject to change.

  • In-Person: In Tax-Aide’s traditional in-person service, taxes are prepared and filed by IRS-certified tax counselors
  • Low-Contact: Taxpayers interact with IRS-certified Tax-Aide volunteers in one or two short, in-person meetings to exchange documents.
  • Contact-Free: Taxpayers interact with Tax-Aide’s IRS-certified tax counselors online or by phone and exchange documents electronically
