Tax Forms

We are getting a lot of phone calls wanting to know if the federal tax forms are here yet and some are rather accusatory that we don't have them yet. Please know, that the library has no control over when these forms are shipped.  We placed our order six months ago and it is only because Congress did not come to an agreement on issues affecting tax code that we do not have the forms for you now.  The IRS will not even accept the paper forms until January 30th.  They, of course, are suggesting everyone e-file.  Rumor has it that we won't see tax forms, especially forms that are more complex (think 1040 compared to 1040 EZ) until February.  The 1040 form just went live on January 9th.

If you want to read more information about this go to http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Plans-Jan.-30-Tax-Season-Opening-For-1040-Filers

Latest information can be found at the IRS website under local news and events http://www.irs.gov/News-&-Events

We'll try our best to keep you informed as we get information or forms.
