Free Tax Preparation at Monmouth County Libraries

Free income tax preparation is not offered at Holmdel library. But Holmdel residents are welcome to the service in several large libraries. 

Volunteers from AARP are available at Library Headquarters in Manalapan, the Eastern Branch Library in Shrewsbury, and the Wall Township branch of the Monmouth County Library. This service is available for low-and middle-income taxpayers with simple returns. 

Preparations will be done in a first-come, first-serve basis. You do not have to be a senior citizen to have your tax return done by the AARP. But you will need last year's tax returns, so bring them with you.
