AARP Foundation Tax-Aide sites at the Albany Public Library and Albany Senior Center will not open for the 2020 tax season.
The health and safety of our volunteers, staff and taxpayers is our top priority, and the decision not to open was made based on health data trends for U.S. states and counties. Thank you for your continued support and we hope to be back in 2022.
