AARP Tax Assistance

In partnership with the AARP, tax assistance will be available at the Peters Township Public Library each Thursdays beginning Feb. 9 through April 12. AARP Tax-Aides will provide this free service to help low and moderate income taxpayers who are age 60 years and older.

Appointments may be scheduled by calling 724-941-9430 or by visiting the library circulation desk. At the time of registration, the library will provide you a list of the forms eligible for preparation by the AARP Tax-Aide consultant, as well as a list of items you will need to bring when you arrive for your personal tax preparation session.  It is recommended you visit the library to pick up both of the lists before your scheduled appointment.

As a community service, the library participates with the IRS and Pennsylvania Department of Revenue to provide both Federal and State Tax forms for library patrons. As forms arrive, they are added to the tax display on the second floor of the library. If a desired form is not available, individuals with a valid Peters Township Public Library card may access library computers for tax forms and publications. Printing charges are $.15 per page to cover library costs. To access federal forms, visit www.irs.gov and to access state forms, visit www.revenue.state.pa.us. For help with federal tax questions please call 1-800-829-1040; for help with federal tax forms and publications please call 1-800-829-4059. For help with state tax questions please call 1-717-787-8201.
