Free Income Tax Preparation for the 2025 Tax Season
The York County AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Program is again offering FREE tax service for York County taxpayers, especially adults 50 and older with low or moderate income, during the 2025 tax season.
Last year in York County, nearly 100 volunteers filed more than 4,300 Federal, PA and local income tax returns at 12 different locations throughout York County.
There is no fee and AARP membership is not required.
Taxpayers should bring their photo ID and proof of their social security or ITIN numbers for anyone on the tax return, including children or other claimed dependents. A copy of a voided bank check is required for direct deposit or debit of any refund or payment. Also, last year’s tax return is helpful if it’s available.
AARP Tax-Aide volunteers can prepare most personal income tax returns, including those with basic self-employment income. They are not trained to do business returns such as corporate, partnership, limited partnership, farm income, or rental income. These types of returns are beyond the scope of the Tax-Aide program.
Beginning Monday, January 12, 2026, you can make an appointment by calling these locations or online at https://www.yorkaarptaxaide.com/.
