The library’s tax help page has been updated for the 2022 tax filing season. While the Library provides IRS form 1040 and Indiana form SC-40 by request via curbside pickup, please note that the library itself does not provide tax preparation!
However, the following local agencies offer FREE tax help:
CASI / VITA Tax Help
If you or your family earned less than $58,000 last year, you can get your taxes prepared for free by IRS-certified volunteers at Community Action of Southern Indiana’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites.
What To Bring:
- Picture ID and Social Security cards for everyone listed on the return
- W-2’s and 1099’s from your employers
- Other 1099’s for interest, dividends, state tax refund or other income
- 1098 for education credit plus detailed financial statement from the school

- Childcare information including Provider ID and actual amounts paid
- Summarized list of other income/expenses for those who itemize or are self employed
- Property Tax Paid on residents or rental information
