Why would a Senior taxes be any different than anyone elses? Does the person have a large estate/assets? If so, then you want someone who does estate taxes.
As Geaton says, at a certain point Seniors no longer need to pay taxes if Social Security is there main income. With my Mom she made 20k a year, $2400 of that was a small pension that is counted as taxable income. Since she was under the income cap allowed, she didn't pay taxes.
Do they have a lot of assets, properties, investments? If not, are you aware that if their income is under a certain amount they don't have to file? My mom is 92-yrs old, no longer owns a home, and has only a few modest investment/assets. I sent her SS statement and 1099s (for interest and divedends) to our accountant and he confirmed she doesn't need to to file.
Maybe consider Turbo Tax or HR Block online filing?
