TAX-AIDE

Get Help with Free Tax Assistance

Since 1968, AARP Foundation Tax-Aide has provided free tax help to over 75 million taxpayers, with a focus on older adults with low to moderate income. The program is free and doesn't require AARP membership. Tax-Aide volunteers are located nationwide, and are trained and IRS-certified every year to make sure they know about and understand the latest changes and additions to the tax code.

In-person assistance will be available at MAPL starting February 4, 2025

Trained Tax-Aide volunteers will be available at Matawan-Aberdeen Library on Tuesdays and Fridays from February 4th through April 11th by appointment only.

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

Three Ways to Register For Tax Assistance

  • Make an appointment on-line at Tax Aide Matawan for a Tuesday or Friday
  • Make an appointment by phone by calling the library at 732-583-9100.
  • Make an appointment in person by visiting the library Computer Assistance Desk.

Although MAPL only offers appointments on Tuesdays and Fridays between 10am and 2:30pm, additional hours and weekend appointments may be available at other locations in Monmouth County. Check availability by visiting the AARP Monmouth County website and clicking on the Operating Schedule.

Appointments outside of Monmouth County can be made at the National AARP Foundation website.

If you are MARRIED FILING JOINTLY, both spouses SHOULD be present for the appointment. Regardless, however, BOTH spouses are required to sign their joint return, although not necessarily simultaneously.

PREPARE IN ADVANCE OF YOUR VISIT

You can’t just walk in empty-handed or — even worse — with a shoebox full of receipts. Be prepared and you can complete your tax preparation in one visit.

Two things To Do Before Arriving At Your Appointment

  1. Review the 'List of items to bring to your appointment'.

  2. Complete the Intake Questionnaire & Preparation Packet in advance by stopping by the library and picking up a printed copy, filling it out and bringing it to your appointment.

We look forward to seeing you! Should you have any questions please contact our Computer Assistance Desk in person or by calling 732-583-9100
