Free Tax Help Available At The Haddon Township Library

HADDON TOWNSHIP, NJ — The Camden County Library System is offering free tax return assistance for low and moderate income residents in Haddon Township, especially those 60 and older, the library announced this week.

“Preparing an income tax return can be challenging for anyone that has specific financial questions,” Camden County Freeholder Bill Moen, liaison to the Camden County Library System, said. “Providing access to free tax preparers will give individuals the guidance and assurance they need to file their returns with confidence this year.”

Free tax help, made available by the AARP, will be available at the Haddon Township branch of the library on Tuesdays, noon-4 p.m., beginning Feb. 7.

Those seeking assistance should bring:

• Social Security card or Individual Taxpayer ID Number (ITIN) for you, your children, and/or your spouse
• All W2 forms, all 1099 forms, such as 1099G (unemployment) and 1099R (pension payments)
• All 1098T forms (tuition payments) and receipts for materials and books, and 1098-E for total student loan interest paid
• Total child care expenses and name, address, Employer Identification Number (EIN) or SSN of child care provider(s)
• Total rent paid
• Any mail from the IRS
• Your bank account and routing numbers for direct deposit
• If possible, a copy of your previous Federal and/or New Jersey Tax

“Tax preparation is a popular service and a great asset for seniors throughout the region. This is another example of how our county libraries are meeting the needs of the residents they serve in Camden County,” Moen said. “Whether it is tax help, literacy classes or our online high school we strive to provide tangible resources to the community outside of the traditional uses that come to mind with a library.”
