AARP Tax Aide volunteers will be providing free tax preparation assistance at four Cobb County Public Libraries. All appointments must be made in advance. Tax aides will not service walk-in patrons on the same day. See information below for hours.

For the do-it-yourself tax preparer, while supplies last Cobb County libraries are making available federal 2022 1040 tax forms and instruction booklets to area residents. 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 Tuesday, April 18, 2023 for both Federal and Georgia tax returns.
