Tax Information: 2020

 

 

Federal tax forms should arrive sometime in February. The state of New Jersey no longer provides libraries with tax forms. The state of New York usually provides us with tax forms, but we are unsure of what the procedure will be this year.

 

Because of the ongoing pandemic, the Montvale Library will not be displaying tax forms. If you are looking for a certain form, notify a staff member. If we have the tax form, we will provide a copy. If we do not have the tax form, we can print it out upon request, providing that form is available. We can print out/make copies of up to ten pages at no charge. We only download tax forms from official sources (IRS, state websites).

 

The Montvale Library is unable to provide tax help. Staff members are not tax professionals/attorneys. We can print out forms and give out applicable phone numbers where patrons can find further information. We do not provide tax software or research tax problems/issues for patrons. If further help is needed, we suggest you contact the IRS or applicable state agency or a licensed tax professional/attorney.
