Some valuable websites for tax information.

This time of year libraries are overrun with harried taxpayers, desperately looking for tax forms and publications. (On April 15th they're looking for the postal address needed to mail in the completed forms!)

Both the Internal Revenue Service and the New York State Department of Taxation provide libraries with a wide range of forms and publications for taxpayers. Librarians will be happy to show you where the tax forms are, but we CANNOT give you tax advice. For that you need an accountant. But you needn't leave home to get the forms and publications. A great deal is available online.
