For Your Info

This is an unofficial site intended to provide useful information to Taxpayers wishing to use the AARP Foundation TaxAide services available at the Wimberley Senior Center. We hope to give you the most current and accurate information available but this site does not officially represent the views, policies, or guidance from the Senior Center, the City of Wimberley, the AARP Foundation, or the IRS.

The AARP Foundation TaxAide service offers free income tax return preparation and assistance to everyone - there are no age or income limitations and AARP membership is not required. We are limited only by the scope of our training (see link to "What we can and cannot do", below, right). Our preparers are trained and certified by the IRS.


Tax Season 2025 (Tax Year 2024):    Feb 7 to April 11, 2025

Jan 25,2025 Update:

Wimberley TaxAide for 2025 will operate at the Wimberley Senior Center on Fridays, starting February 7 and ending April 11. Up to 20 appointments will be available each Friday between 12:30 and 3:00 pm. Additional appointments may be available depending on demand.

The Senior Center is located at the far end of the Wimberley Community Center, 14068 Ranch Road 12, in Wimberley - enter at the traffic light opposite River Road.

You must sign up for an appointment, in person & in advance, at the Senior Center Office, and pick up a forms packet. Forms are also available to download from the links at right. We normally cannot serve walk-ins with no appointment but may be able to do so on a very limited space available basis.

Our general preparation process will be identical to last year: sign up in advance for a Friday appointment at the Center and pick up the forms packet along with any required worksheets; complete the forms at home; come to your appointment for a short intake interview (~ 60 minutes) and drop off all tax documents; we keep your documents and prepare the return off-site; and you return the following Friday at an assigned time to pick up the completed return along with all documents you left with us.

If (and only if) you plan to itemize your deductions; or if in 2024 you were self-employed, had educational expenses, sold a home (main or secondary residence), or earned rideshare income; or if you wish to claim the Residential Energy Credit: then you also must pick up (or download from the links at right) the appropriate worksheet(s), add them to your forms packet, and complete the worksheet(s) prior to your appointment.

Depending on the complexity of your return, you can expect to spend at least an hour, and more likely several hours, organizing your tax documents and completing the required forms prior to your first appointment. Don't wait til the last minute. If you arrive at your appointment and do not have the necessary documents or have not substantially completed all the required forms, you may be asked to reschedule. Brokerage statements normally are not available until mid-March at the earliest.

Refer to the "Read First" and "Come Prepared" links at right for additional details.

We hope to see you in 2025!
