Library has resources to help with tax returns

0

By this time, you’ve probably received your W-2 from your employer or 1099 from your business, interest statements regarding your mortgage or student loans, and giving records for charitable contributions. These can mean one thing — it’s tax season.

At the Delaware County District Library, we try and offer as many resources as possible to help make your tax preparations as easy as they can be. While our librarians are not tax professionals and cannot provide you with legal guidance, we can point you in the right direction for assistance.

Stopping in to any of our branches, you’ll be able to ask our librarians to print any forms you need. We will print one copy of any form or schedule for you at no charge. We can also print up to 10 pages of instructions.

Unfortunately, each year we receive limited quantities of instruction booklets and forms, and those are given away on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you have computer access, I recommend a visit to www.delawarelibrary.org/taxes. This website includes many helpful phone numbers and links to sites that offer free tax help to individuals with income restraints, disabilities, language barriers or the elderly. In Delaware County, we primarily refer to Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) locations, or centers that offer AARP Tax-Aide.

Thanks for stopping in and letting us help you with your questions. After all that tax prep, it might be a good idea to unwind with a new movie.

• American Pastoral. Ewan McGregor, Jennifer Connelly, and Dakota Fanning star in this acclaimed film about a father coping with his fugitive daughter and his perfect life suddenly unraveling.
