Tax Assistance

What is Tax-Aide?

Tax-Aide is a free service of the Association of American Retired Persons (AARP). Starting in February 2025, Tax-Aide volunteers will provide assistance with federal and Oregon tax returns for 2024 at a variety of local sites including the Downtown Library. Eugene Public Library partners with AARP by providing an easily-accessible meeting location.

Tax-Aide can file many basic types of returns. But Tax-Aide is not able to help with some types of returns, such as those involving depreciation, most rental income, or complex investment income. If you are unsure if your tax return qualifies for Tax-Aide assistance, please consult the local AARP website for Tax Aide and ask the Lane County AARP when you are making your appointment.
