The Jacksonville Public Library is proud to partner with the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) TaxAide during the tax season each year to provide FREE tax preparation.
#Make An Appointment
Taxes will be prepared BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Beginning January 17, you can call (904) 701-3462 or visit aarp.org/money/taxes/aarp_taxaide/locations/ and submit your ZIP code for the location nearest you to schedule an appointment.
AARP Tax-Aide sites are serviced by IRS-certified volunteers that provide free tax counseling and preparation services to millions of low- and middle-income taxpayers, with special attention to those age 60 and older. There is no income or age limit for assistance at AARP Tax-Aide sites. However, AARP sites cannot assist rental property owners or small business owners.
