Tax-Aide will offer a variety of tax preparation assistance options – from in-person, to low-contact, to no contact service models, as well as self-preparation. Availability will be based on a number of variables, including, volunteer training/availability and taxpayer location.
The Tax-Aide site locator is available for the public to learn about the type of tax prep service that will be offered in a particular area. Decisions on whether a TA site offers an all-virtual, light contact or in-person approach will be based on safety and health data from Johns Hopkins about presence of virus in a particular area.
