Volunteer Income Tax Assistance

Income Tax Assistance is again available at Lincoln City Libraries this year on the dates listed here. Assistance is not available when libraries are closed for holidays.

Lincoln City Libraries provides the space for this service. Trained volunteers are sent by VITA and AARP. Library staff are not authorized to provide assistance or advice regarding Income Tax preparation.

Unless a session is marked “Walk-ins only,” appointments must be scheduled at https://vita.unl.edu/signup/

To cancel or reschedule an appointment, call the Center for Civic Engagement at 402-472-6150, or use the unique link sent with your appointment confirmation. Library staff are not able to do this for you.
