AARP Tax-Aide Offers Free Tax Prep at Three Princeton Sites

The Mercer County AARP Tax-Aide program, which provides free federal and state income tax preparation, will again offer its service in Princeton on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays beginning Feb. 1 and continuing through mid-April.

The program serves all ages and primarily focuses on taxpayers of low- and moderate income. 

IRS-trained volunteers will prepare and file federal and state tax returns at no cost.

Monday sessions will be held at Princeton Public Library, 65 Witherspoon St., from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.  Appointments are necessary and may be made by calling the library at 609-924-9529 extension 1220.

Friday sessions will be held at the Suzanne Patterson Building, behind Monument Hall, the former Princeton Borough Hall, 45 Stockton St., 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.  To make the required appointment, call 609-751-9699 or go to www.cmaprinceton.org and type “AARP Free Tax Assistance Appointments” in the search box.

Saturday sessions will be held at Nassau Presbyterian Church, 61 Nassau St., across from Palmer Square, between 9 a.m. and noon.  This is a walk-in location with no appointment necessary.  Spanish-speaking translators will be available.

Taxpayers should bring a copy of their 2023 return and those with a W-2 form their year-end pay stub, if possible.

Other nearby sites are in West Windsor, Lawrence, Hopewell, Ewing, Robbinsville and Plainsboro.  Further information can be found by a web search for “AARP Tax-Aide locator” or by calling 1-888-227-7669.
