Your Money, Your Future: County Offers Free Tax Assistance and Financial Literacy Programs at the Library

Starting in February, Leon County Government is offering free tax preparation assistance and financial literacy programs at the Leon County Public Library to help residents make informed financial decisions and achieve their financial goals.

Providing these services at no cost removes the financial barriers that often prevent households from accessing professional tax advice and financial guidance.

Residents are invited to attend the library’s upcoming programs, including:

• Tax Toolkit: Prepare with Confidence – Join experts from the Legal Services of North Florida’s Low Income Taxpayer Clinic to better understand the tax filing process, identify common deductions and credits, and approach tax season with confidence.
