Tax Prep Help

To schedule a tax help appointment with AARP, please call (443) 485-1153. See all locations for AARP Tax-Aide assistance here. Cecil County Public Library staff is unable to make appointments. 

To reach the Comptroller's Office in Elkton, call (410) 996-0465. While the library doesn't receive paper tax forms, you can pick them up at the Comptroller's Office without an appointment. 

AARP Foundation Tax-Aide will provide free tax return preparation at 6 Cecil County locations this year:

 

Elkton United Methodist Church - every Monday

The Calvert Grange - every Tuesday and some Saturdays

Cecilton United Methodist Church - every other Thursday

Rising Sun Community Center - every Friday

Elkton Public Library - some Saturdays

All locations require an appointment. Call 443-485-1153 to schedule an appointment.

When you call, you will leave a voicemail message. Be patient, early in the season, due to the high volume of calls, it may take several days to a week for a Scheduler to get back to you.
