Supported Self-Filing FAQs
-
Supported self-filing tax preparation is a pilot program to assist people, who have simple tax situations and modest incomes, to prepare and file their own tax return. This is a free service for those who want to learn how to do their own taxes. A tax expert will be on hand during the workshops to answer questions on how to file your tax return.Â
-
To be eligible to participate in one of our Supported Self-Filing Tax Workshops you must:
- have an income of less than $35,000 if you are filing for one person
- have a combined income of less than $45,000 if you are filing as a couple
- have a simple tax situation
- be comfortable using a mouse and computer
- Call the Library to join an Introductory Computer Course to learn more about using computers!Â

The Supported Self-Filing Tax Workshops are for the current tax year only.Â
