Get Help: Resources for Tax Forms and Preparation

YCL will offer only limited Federal income tax forms to the public. No state forms will be available. As there is currently no expected arrival date, we encourage you to visit the IRS website to view, download, and order Federal tax products online, or access state forms via the SC Department of Revenue and the NC Department of Revenue. A Tax Help Flyer with resources for finding tax forms and assistance is available at all YCL locations. Please continue to check yclibrary.org for updates.

Were you financially impacted by COVID-19? Are you late on rent and utilities? You may qualify for rental assistance with the help of the SC Stay PLUS program. A trained SC Stay PLUS expert will be available for assistance with applications at the Main Library. No appointment is necessary. Stop by the second floor from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. Please bring personal identification, proof of having a lease, and proof of income.
