AARP Tax-Aide in Milwaukee County
All of our sites, except the Sojourner Family Peace Center, will be returning to the method of preparing your taxes in one appointment, while you wait. Married couples must both be present. Sojourner will utilize a two-visit method, with appointments one week apart. Full details of Sojourner's method will be in your confirmation email.
After you make your appointment you will receive a confirmation email with information on how to prepare for your appointment. In order for you appointment to be successful, follow the instructions carefully. The forms you must fill out are available online or at the front desk of the site you select to have your taxes prepared at.
Caution: When choosing your appointment, make sure you make it late enough to receive all the necessary tax papers (like W-2s, 1099-Rs, and broker statements). If you must reschedule, it is possible there won't be any appointments left.
If there are no available appointments, please check back often. We will likely offer more appointments as the season progresses. You should also consider the following options as an alternate method for having your tax return prepared:
- We can guide you through preparing and efiling your own tax return, using free tax software. In order to enlist our help with this, you must have the following: an email address; a computer with a microphone and an internet connection (a phone will not be adequate); the ability to use Google Meet software to join a virtual meeting with one of our tax counselors (this is very easy to use and we will send you instructions). You will also need to have access to a printer, in order to print a copy of your return for your records. To choose this option click here.
