Cobb County Public Library locations are offering 1040 federal 2020 tax forms and instruction booklets to area residents as the new tax season begins. While supplies last, forms may be requested by calling the following libraries providing curbside service as all Cobb library facilities are closed to the public to prevent spread of the coronavirus.

East Cobb -- 770-528-2730	Gritters -- 770-528-2524
Kemp -- 770-528-2527	Mountain View -- 770-509-2725
North Cobb -- 770-801-5320	Powder Springs -- 770-439-3600
Sewell Mill -- 770-509-2711	Sibley -- 770-528-2520
South Cobb -- 678-398-5828	Stratton -- 770-528-2522
Vinings -- 770-801-5330	West Cobb -- 770-528-4699

Cobb libraries will also offer limited free printing of federal and state forms when contacted in advance by phone and given the form number or name. This service will 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. Tax season has been delayed as the IRS and Georgia Department of Revenue announced 2020 tax filings will be accepted beginning on February 12, a few weeks later than normal tax-filing schedules.

Onsite Tax Preparation

Due to continued concerns involving COVID-19, Cobb County Public Libraries will not host AARP Tax Aide service.
