Taxpayers are navigating an extremely complex tax season as result of unemployment, scams, the loss of a loved one, or their own health issues related to the pandemic. This tele-town hall helped listeners navigate questions related to stimulus payments, retirement investments and minimum distributions. 

This is the first of two parts of the live town hall that originally aired on March 11, 2021.

The event began with a moderated discussion between Suze Orman, the world’s personal finance expert, who shared advice and steps people can take toward financial empowerment, and AARP Chief Executive Officer Jo Ann Jenkins, who shared how AARP is supporting older adults and providing resources during the pandemic.
