It’s tax season, and Tacoma Public Library and community partners are teaming up to offer services to help you file.
If you’re completing taxes yourself online, Tacoma Public Library provides free computer access, and a weekly $5.00 printing credit for library card holders. The library provides free guest passes for computers for non-card holders. Most Tacoma Public Library locations have 1040/1040 SR booklets from the IRS and can help you print other IRS forms you may need to file. For the most current availability of forms at your library, it's recommended to call before you go to check that they have the forms you need.
Who qualifies for free tax help?
- Individuals and households with moderate income (generally $67,000 or less)
- Common tax situations such as wages, Social Security, pensions, unemployment, and basic self-employment
Note: More complex returns may be outside the scope of the program.
