The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Program will not be offered this tax season at any site in Mercer County because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, AARP is offering an alternative this year called the AARP Alternative Tax Preparation program (ATP). The ATP program provides direct taxpayer access to free online tax software for this year’s taxes as well as video and/or phone assistance with a certified AARP tax assister.
Rather than doing the tax return for taxpayers, certified AARP tax assisters help taxpayers prepare their own online returns.

When Gatti’s Pizza closed its location in the Four Points area, the husband and wife team decided to make the career shift from property management professionals to pizzeria owners. They signed a lease in February for their new business, Lake Travis Pizza. “This is different for us, but we really have a lot of passion for pizza,” Leah said. “It’s exciting to make people happy, and food feeds the soul.”
