Hello to all of my fellow taxpayers!
This is Becky Simmer, the District Coordinator for the AARP Tax-Aide District 45. Our district includes all of Sumter County and parts of Lake and Marion Counties.
All of our Villages Tax Aide sites are now filled. You can check for appointment cancellations online. A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF WALK INS will be accepted at all sites, provided that we have enough staff on that day to accommodate them. We also have a link on our home page where you can locate other Tax-Aide sites in Florida and in the entire United States.
This is the last week to file your tax return. You will need to file for an extension of your tax return if you think you will owe the IRS money and won’t be able to file your tax return by 4/15/2024. You can obtain a copy of the “Application for Automatic Extension of time to File for U.S. Individual Income Tax Return” form to the left, on the home page of our website.
We have appointments available to do amended tax returns. The amended return appointments start in May. To schedule an amended return, refer to our home page to the left of this column.
Taxpayers can do so much more than just make appointments on our website. Under the Taxpayer Resources tab, taxpayers can find additional worksheets and information to help them with their 2023 tax return. Under the Taxpayer FAQs tab, we have answers for some of the most common questions that taxpayers may have. For example, RMDs, QCDs and IP PINs. Check those two tabs out!
I am anticipating that we in District 45 will be able to complete and file over 10,000 returns this year. That would be more returns than our district has ever done.
I am looking forward to leading District 45 to a very successful season for Tax Year 2023.
Becky Simmer
D45 District Coordinator
