AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers will provide free tax preparation assistance at three Cobb County Public Libraries. Service is provided by appointment only. Tax aides cannot service walk-in patrons on the same day. Appointment sign-up options are detailed below.

For the do-it-yourself tax preparer, Cobb County libraries are making available federal 2023 1040 tax forms and instruction booklets to area residents while supplies last. Libraries also will offer free printing of federal and state forms, up to 10 pages. This service does not include instruction books.

Library staff is unable to answer tax questions or provide advice about which forms to use. Residents are encouraged to review tax-filing information at irs.gov and dor.georgia.gov for details that apply to individual circumstances, including virtual resources for tax-filing assistance.

As of this writing, the deadline to file tax returns, request extensions or pay owed taxes is Monday, April 15, 2024 for both Federal and Georgia tax returns.
