The tax man cometh...

We do not yet have federal tax forms but expect to have them towards the end of January.  The forms are currently available for download and printing at the IRS website:  www.irs.gov .  State tax forms are available at www.oregon.gov/DOR.  The library no longer receives state forms for distribution.

Tax Forms

It's hard to believe that tax season is just around the corner. One big change that you will notice this year is the fact that Beaverton City Library will no longer be distributing Oregon tax forms. This is not a decision that we made, but rather a decision made by the Oregon Department of Revenue. In a letter sent to Oregon public libraries, the Director of the Oregon Department of Revenue cited the need to reduce their printing budget and the fact that taxpayers are relying more on online filing. Therefore, they will no longer be distributing tax forms to public libraries for distribution. The forms can be accessed online through the DOR website at http://www.oregon.gov/DOR/forms.shtml. We will continue to distribute Federal forms as long as they make them available to us.
