Tax Help @ the Library

Volunteer assistance with filling out your tax forms is available at several library locations.

Please remember to bring all relevant information (W-2 slips, Social Security number, etc.) with you, and see below for requirements for tax help.

A limited number of people may be served per location per day. There is no guarantee that the volunteers will be able to serve everyone in the time allotted.

Library personnel can help you locate tax forms in paper and online, but cannot help you choose forms, fill out forms or offer tax advice.
