Tax Prep

With the AARP Foundation

Tax preparation services will be provided for DC and MD residents at the Southwest Neighborhood Library. Appointments strongly encouraged. 

Beginning Feb. 3 - Apr. 14, 2025, select DC Public Library locations will host income tax return preparation for qualified residents. The library partners with the AARP Foundation to provide service to eight of our neighborhood locations. 

To make an appointment, patrons can come during regular tax assistance hours (Mondays and Wednesdays. 1:00 - 5:00pm). At that time, you will get a taxpayer information packet (TIP) that contains the intake and interview form to be filled out, as well as a list of documents needed to prepare returns. Be sure to bring all TY2023 tax documents and completed intake forms to your appointment. 

For any questions please call 202-656-0442 and leave a message or email 20051018@aarpfoundation.org. A tax preparer will reply.
