The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide South Bay service provides free tax return preparation and e-filing, by volunteers certified by the IRS and California FTB. We use computers and professional tax preparation software supplied to us by the IRS.

We will do Federal and California tax returns, and use e-filing only --- no paper returns. Customers do not need to be AARP members.

We give special attention to those age 60+. We handle almost all standard tax forms except Schedule E, for rental properties and K-1 Limited Partnerships. Taxpayers need to bring with them a copy of last year’s tax returns, and all tax documents they have received such as W-2’s, Social Security benefit statement, 1099 interest, dividend, and pension/IRA statements.
