Tax Prep Help

Free Tax Prep Help at the Library

Free tax assistance through AARP Tax Aide Advisors is offered at the New Rochelle Public Library. The dates for 2025 are Tuesday, February 4 – Tuesday, April 15.

Trained AARP volunteer counselors will be available Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm* during tax season. These sessions will be held in the Library’s Meeting Room and on the stage of the Theater, except during school vacation weeks, when they will be held in the Community Gallery. Tax filers are advised to arrive early, as they will meet with a tax advisor on a drop-in, first-come, first-served basis. The Library opens at 9:00 am on these days. Tax filers arriving before 9:00 am may line up at the Lawton Street entrance to the Library. The AARP Tax Aide assistance program is free. Tax preparers have all the necessary forms to complete e-filing.

Participants must bring with them last year’s return and supporting documentation, as well as an official photo identification and a social security card, or other comparable documentation.
