Freed WASHINGTON, D.C. tax assistance for low- - and modern ate income older people is avail- able through a program of the " American Association of Retired-Pers- ons at more than 10,000 sites' around the country. e AARP volunteers, trained in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service, will be ' offering help with federal, state censenior at and local tax returns ters, libraries and other convenient locations through April 15. e "The AARP Program'.' is a wonderful resource for older" people," said AARP President ' Eugene Lehrmann. "Tax laws, including special provisions for ' older people, can be confusing and e volunteers have AARP been helping eligible older people file tax returns for over 25 years." According to the IRS, many older people do not need to file a tax return. The IRS . says taxpayers with incomes' below a specific amount often file " needlessly and many pay for assis-tanc- e with their returns. For example, if you are single, age 65 or older and your total gross income is under $7,350, you do not have to file a federal tax return. For ' a married couple filing jointly, age 65 or older, a return is not necessary if the total gross income is under $13,050 and $12,300 if only one spouse is over 65. Other important tax reminders, for older Americans on preparing their 1995 returns are: The standard deduction for ' 1995 has been increased to reflect the inflation rate. For those under ', age 65 and not blind, the basic standard deduction is $3,900 if ; single, $6,550 if married and filing ; I jointly or a qualifying widow or widower with dependent child, ! and $5,750 if filing as a head of. household. A larger standard deduction is provided for persons who are age ; 65 or older. In 1995, these taxpay- ers got an extra $950 if single and I 65 or older or $750 each if married or a qualifying widow or widower , with dependent child. For the first time this year, the ; IRS will provide a direct deposit ; of refunds to your checking or savings account if you complete i Form 8888 and include it with' your 1995 return. There are some limitations, ; however. If the refund claim dif- fers by more than $50 from what; the IRS computes, the service wil not accept the direct deposit and" will send a check instead. The direct deposit form is in , most Form 1040 and 1040A pack-- ; ets, or you can request it by calling ' the toll-fre- e IRS number Tax-Aid- mmH CHI MOWERS ft TRACTORS CAREER BLOUSES FOR MISSES.

Terry Lange is considered one of Utah's leading experts in the often confusing area of the federal health care programs available to persons 65 years of age and older. "My concern is that seniors today and their caregivers do not understand MedicareMedicaid benefits," he said. Many members of AARP as well as elderly in general find themselves confused by the myriad of regulation that sur-- ! round the MedicareMedicaid pro-- ! grams. "' mm Iv'w. n I .. ; ; ' !
