2012 Income Tax Forms Are Now Available At The Library

I know that there is a big push by the IRS for people to file their taxes online but not everyone wants to do it that way - including myself!

The tax forms are now available at the LaMott Library. I can say this from personal experience because I just picked up some of them a few days ago. The 1040 forms are available as well as other tax forms that you may need such as Schedule C form. This is a form that I need because I work from home and am self-employed but there are other tax forms available if you need them.

I know that there are some that may consider filing their taxes online much more easier but there are just some cases where you may feel that you want to fill out and file your taxes using the paper forms and mailing it in and fortunately our local library has the forms available for you if you need them.

Better hurry though because April 16th (April 15th falls on a Sunday) will be here sooner than you think!
