The Binghamton Chapter of the Association of Retired Persons (AARP) is preparing for the 2000 Income Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) Program. The TCE Program is sponsored by the Broome County Office for the Aging, Internal Revenue Service and the AARP. TCE offers free income tax preparation services for low and moderate income taxpayers age 60 and older.

Volunteer tax counselors are needed for the TCE Program. Counselors will be taught income tax preparation by IRS-trained AARP Tax-Aide volunteer instructors. This five-day training program will begin January 2001.

For more information, or to volunteer as a tax counselor to the TCE Program, call Joan Tassey at (607) 625-2658.
