TAX TIME

I was startled to realize today that April 15 is only 3 weeks from now (it was the due date on my books). Although many people have already received their refunds, some of us--usually those who have to pay more in taxes--have been putting it off. The Elk Grove Library has many of the common tax forms available for Federal and State taxes, if you did not get them in the mail or need additional ones. We also have a book of "reproducible" tax forms--you can copy them--with some of the less common forms.

If none of these sources have the forms you need, they can probably be found on the IRS website and/or the Illinois Department of Revenue website. You can also file electronically through the sites--Free File and I-File. If none of these have the obscure form you need, you'd better write or call the IRS as soon as possible so they can mail the forms to you in time.
