*Planning to file your taxes electronically at the library?
Please be aware that the library is not responsible for any information that is lost during the process and that the library staff cannot help with tax information.

While the library staff is happy to help you with the index or table of contents to the reproducible tax forms, for legal reasons we cannot give you any tax advice or answer any tax questions such:

• "What form should I file?"

• "Should I use form A or form B?"

• "Do I need to file X form?"

We're librarians, not tax professionals.  If you need tax advice or answers to questions, please contact the Department of Revenue or a professional tax preparation service.
