Tax Forms are coming……..
Posted on January 19th, 2012 by Julie
We receive numerous queries regarding tax forms, and here is the latest information on this subject:
- Will you have paper tax forms?–Yes, both NY state and federal forms. We will only receive some, not all, of the forms. Supplies are limited.
- When will you have the forms?–We don’t know when the forms will arrive. Due to recent legislative actions, the production of federal forms was delayed. We can’t tell you when the forms will get to us.
- How else can we get the forms?–Forms are available at the following websites.
Federal forms are at irs.gov where you can print out tax forms. (We charge 15 cents per page for printouts.)
Check on this page to find out how you can file your federal return online–many people are eligible to do this for free.
The NY state forms are available on this page. You can also learn more about e-filing your state return here. They also have a e-file option, check back later this month for more information on the free file option.
