AARP Tax-Aid

AARP Tax-Aide is the nation's largest, free, volunteer-run tax counseling and preparation service.  Our gracious volunteers are back this year to provide this popular service at the Southlake Public Library. 

There is no need to be an AARP member and there are no age restrictions. AARP Tax-Aide provides comprehensive tax-help and preparation assistance including electronic filing (e-file), a fast and convenient method for filing federal taxes.

This service is provided on Thursdays from February 5th through April 9th.  Appointments are available at 3:00, 4:00, 5:00, and 6:00 p.m.  Call the library at (817) 748-8247 to make an appointment.

Please bring the following with you on the day of your appointment:

  • current year tax records (W-2, 1099 forms, etc.)
  • Social Security or ITIN cards (including cards for dependents)
  • a copy of last year's tax return
  • property tax bill
    a dollar figure of the amount received from the stimulus package

The library also participates in the IRS Tax Forms Outlet Program.  We have quantities of the most common tax forms, and we can help print others from the IRS website – www.IRS.gov


TollTags

       

Customers now have the opportunity to pick up TollTags at the Southlake Public Library.  To use this service:

 

  • Set up an account at https://csc.ntta.org/olcsc/POS_cityofsouthlake from any Internet-enabled computer.
  • You will need a valid driver license, credit card, and the year, make, model and license number of the vehicles you are registering.
  • Visit the front desk of the Southlake Public Library with your driver license to pick up your TollTag(s).

This service is for setting up new TollTag accounts only.  Drivers with existing accounts will need to contact the North Texas Tollway Authority directly by calling 972-818-6882 or visiting the North Texas Tollway Authority's website at http://www.NTTA.org.

 

Personal Finance Series

The Southlake Public Library is proud to offer a year-long series of personal finance series presented by a local financial advisor. All but one of them will be held at 6:00 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month in the Library. The January 2009 class will be held on the 8th.

Each of the programs stands on its own so there is no need to attend the entire series to gain any value from the individual classes. No products will be sold and the classes are informational only.


Non-Profit Programs

  

Victory Boxes are available now in the Southlake Public Library. A Victory Box is a box of goods needed by the people of Iraq and Afghanistan. They will be distributed by select soldiers who work directly with the people. Suggested items include small toys, clothes, shoes, and school products. Please do not send meat products, religious items, or anything involving sexually explicit literature. For more information, please visit http://www.victoryboxes.com/, or contact Mary Margaret Halleck at (817-251-1201).
