At my library, we usually print out all of the “unusual” forms from the web on an asked-for basis. However, this is NOT free, because we do use our very expensive printers for this and it will eventually come to bite us in the butt!

@Meg: My library gets them through the IRS' tax form outlet program. If you would like to have them at your library, it might be worth contacting them. We submit an order form in July or so, then the forms start arriving ready to go in December.

The IRS stopped sending tax forms to the library that I work at years ago. Every year we post a sign saying that we no longer carry tax forms, and every year patrons ignore the sign and ask anyway. I have no idea why this is, but it causes a quite an uproar with patrons who aren’t computer literate and would prefer a hard copy.

Ok i like your article post but i think e filing is very fast process for state and federal tax filing 2010. Now a day’s very easy to get tax refund and we can easily know our tax refund status.

Ha! We got a kick out of that particular line at my library, too.

@Monica: I wondered myself if they waited until the library tax form orders were in before making this announcement.

The email arrived a convenient 1 week after our initial tax form order was sent out. *head desk*

I know, I have a feeling it’ll be extra extra busy this year! Wondering how signage will work out, that is always an interesting one Good idea for the local paper ad!
