An announcement from AARP:

As coronavirus (COVID-19) developments change hour by hour, AARP Foundation is doing its part to flatten the curve of transmission. A top priority for us is ensuring we are protecting those most at risk, including our volunteers and taxpayers. Therefore, our National Headquarters in Washington is suspending AARP Foundation Tax-Aide services beginning March 16 until further notice.

We will continue to assess whether we can open again in some or all sites for the remainder of the tax season and if the tax season is extended. As of this writing, the Department of Treasury and IRS have not made a determination about extending the tax season deadline. We continue to be in touch with IRS about program services, and different or new approaches that we can implement. We will keep you apprised of all changes regarding national program policy or IRS guidance perspective.

Updates will be posted on the villages Tax Aide website (villagestaxaide.com). Questions may be directed to villagestaxaide@villagestaxaide.com.

I had followed the updates from the Tax-Aide website it had an entry from 3/23/2020 That all activities were suspended and check website for future updates. Somewhere else possibly The Daily Sun there was a release that said that Tax-Aide was attempting to work out something at least for the people that had appointments. Now the web site has been updated 5/23/2020 and the same Red Suspended wording is there everything is suspended until further notice. Then below is states that all villages Tax-Aide have been canceled. As there is still 6 weeks before current filing deadline. is there any possibility that Tax-Aide might be doing anything or have they closed up shop for this tax year.
