The ATO is offering free tax help from July 31-October 30 this year.
The 67-year-old ATO-accredited tax helper, Marilyn Dowd, will be offering free services from 1-5pm every Friday on a weekly basis.
You can book an appointment with the library by calling on (02) 4823 4435.
Due to COVID-19, physical distancing restrictions are in place and visitors to the library have to share their contact details.
Tax Help is a network of ATO-trained and accredited community volunteers who provide a free and confidential service to people on low incomes of around $60,000 or less complete their tax returns online with myTax.
They can help with lodging and amending tax returns online using myTax, or to claim a refund of franking credits.
Volunteers can also help claim any relevant deductions and offsets.
Library manager Erin Williams feels that the last financial year has been an unusual one with many people receiving the JobKeeper payment or working from home.
"The Tax Help volunteer can help people completing their tax return and trying to work out these new complexities," she said.
