AARP, Inc., formerly the American Association of Retired Persons, is a United States-based interest group with a membership founded in 1958 by Ethel Percy Andrus, Ph.D., a retired educator from California, and Leonard Davis, later the founder of the Colonial Penn Group of insurance companies.
AARP paid the IRS $135 million to resolve the matter for the period of time from 1985-1993. AARP has paid in $15 million a year since 1994 in lieu of taxes pending resolution of the dispute. In settling the matter it was agreed that $23 million of the $75 million paid in, would be refunded to AARP.
