Tax Aide

AARP Foundation TAX-AIDE – 2023: South Berwick Senior Center

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide can prepare your 2023 tax return and electronically file it for you.   
This is a FREE service run by volunteers.  The program is open to taxpayers of all ages and AARP membership is not required.  

We strongly encourage folks to file even if they’re not required to.  Our counselors have found that some lower income Mainers who aren’t required to file are unaware that they may be eligible to get additional state refunds for property tax/rent relief and sales tax relief.

We will be preparing tax returns in South Berwick on Fridays from February 9th through April 5th. 
Please call 207-384-3310 to set up an appointment.

NOTE – one tax return per year per appointment, please!  If you have more than one tax year or need a tax return for another person, please make an additional appointment.

Please arrive 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork, unless you are able to get the forms at the Senior Center and fill them out ahead of time.

Make sure you bring:

  • Picture ID (driver’s license or similar) for taxpayer and spouse. 
  • Social Security card (or an official Social Security document containing your SSN)
    for all persons on the tax return. 
  • All tax documents for 2022. Examples: SSA-1099, W-2, 1099-R (pensions, annuities, IRAs), 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-B, 1098, etc.
  • 1095 forms if you have Marketplace (Exchange) health insurance.
  • Details on rents or property taxes paid in the calendar year 2023.
  • Copy of last year’s tax return.
  • A bank check, if you want direct deposit.
  • Any correspondence from the IRS.
