Hello all,
Here is a little additional information about tax season and how to respond to tax questions here at the library:
- As you have time, please take a look through the tax info page. There is a quick link on the home page of johnstonlibrary.com and under our Services menu with information about links to federal and state tax forms and free tax assistance.
- Right now we have received Federal 1040 instructional booklets. Federal 1040 and 1040SR (senior) forms are on the way. I have printed out Federal 1040 forms to tide us over until the forms arrive from the government.
- The State of Iowa no longer sends out paper copies of Iowa tax forms. I have printed out Iowa 1040 forms as well.
- All tax info that we have for patrons is at the Reference Desk
- We ask the people limit forms and booklets to one per household. If people want a practice form to fill out, they can take one of the printed forms that we have printed.
- Staff at the Ref Desk may print federal and state tax forms for individuals at no charge.
- We will not be printing tax instruction booklets for people—they are very long. 😉
- Please remember that library staff are not able to give tax information or help—our role is to direct people to resources like AARP or United Way VITA tax assistance. Information about both of those free resources is on the tax info page on our website.
