Angelo Bland, left, visits the Murrayville Library recently for tax help from the AARP Tax-Aide service’s Roberta Eaton. AARP Tax-Aide had four volunteers available for those needing help with their returns.
Roberta Eaton of Gainesville walked into the conference room at the Murrayville library carrying her Social Security card, photo ID, her tax forms and her previous year’s return. Her purpose was simple: Have a qualified AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteer double-check her tax return. Volunteer Tom Fox examined her perfectly filled out form and did something unexpected.
