NYS Tax Form Information for Public Libraries
Beginning this year, New York State tax forms and instructions are no longer going to be mailed to individual households. According to the Department of Finance and Taxation, less than 5% of taxpayers had forms and instructions mailed to their house last year.
Taxpayers are encouraged to go to http://www.nystax.gov to view and download forms, instructions and to access information.
Public libraries may experience an increase in the number of people seeking forms and help accessing the website.
Last November libraries should have received the bulk forms ordering blank. If you did not order any forms, or need to order more forms please do so as soon as possible.
Library staff can visit: http://www.nystax.gov/lib for questions or problems.
If you need to order more forms please call the department at 518-244-1911.
