Tax Forms Delayed

Tax Prep Q & AIt's tax season and many tax forms are available at the library, usually by the end of January. However, the production of some 2012 tax products, including the Form 1040 and the Instructions for Form 1040, is impacted by the recent passage of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.  At this time, we do not have an estimate as to when forms will become available on IRS.gov or in print at the library. We will continue to keep you updated.
