Free Tax Assistance

Although individuals on our library staff are not trained tax professionals, the library partners with two organizations that use our meeting rooms to offer assistance in preparing tax returns – AARP and the United Way of Stark County Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.

2023 AARP Tax-Aide - Walk-in

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide provides in-person tax assistance to anyone, free of charge, with a focus on taxpayers who are over 50 and have low to moderate income. Tax-Aide volunteers are trained and IRS-certified every year to make sure they know about and understand the latest changes and additions to the tax code.

AARP Tax-Aide is provided on a first come-first served basis.  AARP staff will greet individuals at the door at the locations below to distribute waitlist numbers and collect cell phone contact information. These individuals can then remain in their vehicles or use library services until the AARP staff contact them via their cell phone. Once they have been contacted, they can enter the meeting room to meet with their Tax-Aide provider.
