The Taxman Cometh

Let me tell you how it will be

There's one for you, nineteen for me

'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Are you an individual who lives on the edge ... by waiting to the last minute to file your tax returns? Still need a form? As a service to its patrons, the Library is distributing some of the basic state and federal tax forms. You can pick them up on the first floor … near the Children’s Area. You can print forms out from the Internal Revenue Service website (www.irs.gov) and the website of the California Franchise Tax Board (www.ftb.ca.gov). The Library Staff cannot answer your tax questions (some of us can’t do our own returns!) ... however, contact info from each agency’s website is posted below:
