    Community Volunteer Income Tax Program 

    Do you have a modest income and/or a simple tax situation? 

    Our community volunteers may be able to take care of your tax return this year! Click here to check your eligibility before dropping by (scroll down and click the Eligibility Criteria drop down to view the full list).

    The North Gloucester branch will be offering free English tax clinics that will operate on a first come, first served basis. Add your name to the day's list at the front desk. Expect appointments to run about 45 minutes. Please note that partners looking to get their taxes done together will need the time of two appointments (90 minutes). You do not need a library membership card to attend a tax clinic (though we'd love to get you set up with one while you wait, or after your taxes have been filed!) 

    Any questions can be directly emailed to Celia

    Clinics start March 20 with a varied schedule throughout March and April. Click on the "View full schedule" link to the right to see dates and times offered. 

    **Our volunteers will not be processing self-employed or business taxes - simple returns only. They may refuse anyone that does not meet the eligibility criteria.
