Although tax day is still months away, you can get help with your returns now. The Seattle Public Library, United Way of King County and the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) are offering free tax preparation services at eleven Seattle library branches. Trained volunteers will be available to answer questions and help prepare personal tax returns. Business tax returns are not eligible for the free service.

The Fremont branch is not of the eleven but help will be available at the Ballard Library (5614 22nd Ave NW) each Thursday starting February 3 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The tax help will continue every Monday 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Thursday through April 14th. Drop-ins are welcome, or you can call the branch for an appointment (206-684-4089)
