The popular AARP Tax Aide program, which assists taxpayers in the local area with their 2019 tax returns, is available at the Pennsauken Free Public Library.
AARP Tax Aide counselors will be in the Community Room of the Pennsauken Free Public Library, located at 5605 N. Crescent Blvd., on Wednesdays and Thursdays from Feb. 5 through April 15. Tax preparation appointments are available at 11:00 a.m., noon and 1:00 p.m. each day.
Residents can once again go online to schedule their tax preparation appointment. To make an appointment online, visit http://bit.ly/PennsaukenTax2020 using your web browser. Fill in the information requested, pick the date and time preferred, and click “Submit.” You will get back a confirmation email immediately. If the date and time you want are not available, you will be directed to the next open date and time slots. If you need to cancel or reschedule for any reason, that can be done online as well.
For those without an e-mail address or access to a computer, there is an in-person registration option at the Pennsauken Free Public Library. Residents can visit a special kiosk at the Library’s Circulation Desk to sign up for a tax preparation appointment. For those without e-mail, confirmation forms will be available at the kiosk. This sign up option is available during the Library’s normal business hours and staff members are available to assist individuals if needed.
With the online and in-person registration options in place, the Library will not be taking tax preparation appointments over the phone this year.
The Pennsauken Free Public Library will be accepting walk-ins, but only on a limited first come, first served basis. The Library’s front desk will have numbered cards to give out to walk-ins, up to the maximum number of tax payers allowed for that day.
Those individuals who ONLY need to have a “blue book” completed can come in, without an appointment, between 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., Wednesdays and Thursdays, from Feb. 5 through April 15.
Residents coming in for a tax preparation appointment are reminded to bring a government-issued photo ID for all taxpayers; Social Security cards for each person whose name is on the tax return; ALL tax documents (W-2s, 1099s, 1098s, etc.); last year’s tax return, whether prepared by AARP or not; and if employed in 2019, a copy of your last paystub(s) for 2019. A list of important documents to bring your tax preparer is now available at the Library’s Circulation Desk.
