Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner Lesley Briones is partnering with AARP to offer free tax preparation assistance to seniors and residents of all ages during the 2026 tax season.
The initiative aims to help families save money, avoid costly filing fees, and maximize eligible tax credits as many households continue to face rising living expenses. Services will be provided in both English and Spanish on a first-come, first-served basis, and no registration is required.
Who Can Get Help
The free assistance is open to:
- Seniors
- Working families
- Individuals needing help filing taxes
- Spanish- and English-speaking residents
Organizers say the program is designed to ensure residents keep more of their earnings while receiving accurate filing support from trained volunteers.

Helping Residents Keep More Money
County leaders say free tax preparation services can make a meaningful financial difference for households, especially those eligible for credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Child Tax Credit.
Officials encourage community members to share the information with friends, family, and neighbors who may benefit from the program before tax deadlines arrive.
