It’s tax season, again, and once again the Waltham Public Library is providing the forms that it can. Please keep in mind that the IRS has informed that there has been a printing delay and therefore a delay in shipping various materials to the library. To date, we have not received Instructions for Form 1040 or 1040 A, Form 1040A, or Schedule A. The Massachusetts Department of Revenue has also informed all taxpayers and public libraries that they are not sending print copies of the instructions. Taxpayers can print out all the forms and instructions they need at www.irs.gov (for federal forms) or www.mass.gov/dor (for state tax forms). You’re welcome to print out your forms at the library using one of our library computers or your laptop. For those of you who are computer shy, we are happy to print out forms for you at the reference desk, as long as you know the name/number of the form that you need.
Here are a list of resources to get you through tax season, including contact information for the Internal Revenue Service and the Massachusetts Department of Revenue, as well as three services which provide free tax help. Good luck!
