Library Tax Help FAQs

• Are tax forms available at the library?

  The IRS and Ohio Department of Taxation are encouraging taxpayers to file their returns electronically this year. Free online filing options are available:

  If you choose to file with paper forms, all Greene County Public Library locations will have a limited number of preprinted federal and state tax forms available. Most locations will have municipal and school district forms.

  You can print or photocopy additional tax forms at the library for 15¢ per page.

• Do I qualify for Volunteer Income Tax Assistance? What should I bring?

  IRS-certified volunteers who take part in the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program offer free tax help to people who generally make $56,000 or less, persons with disabilities, and limited English speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns.

  VITA services are available at select Greene County Public Library locations on limited days and times during tax season. Visit our event calendar to learn more, and to find out if appointments are required for your preferred location.

  Please be sure to review the “What to Bring” checklist on the IRS website before coming in for VITA tax help.

• Can I use a library computer to file my taxes?

  For convenience and security reasons, we do not recommend filing tax returns on library computers.
