AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers will provide free tax preparation assistance at five Cobb County libraries.

Service is provided by appointment only. AARP’s online reservation system opens Monday, January 13. Taxpayers will see available slots and may select desired dates. Links to each library’s online reservation system are below.

Other appointment sign-up options are also detailed. Tax aides cannot service walk-in patrons on the same day and will not make same day appointments.

Taxpayers will have returns completed same day. They are welcomed to wait in the library or leave and come back to pick up completed returns.

For the do-it-yourself tax preparer, Cobb County libraries are making available federal 2024 1040 tax forms and instruction booklets 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.

The deadline to file federal tax returns, request extensions or pay owed taxes to the Federal government is Tuesday, April 15, 2025. The deadline to file individual Georgia state tax returns, without an extension, is Thursday, May 1, 2025.
