Funding cutbacks at the Internal Revenue Service mean fewer tax documents at one local library.
E.U. Demmer Director Erica Brewster says the IRS has informed them fewer tax forms will be available at the library....
"....we're only going to have Forms 1040, 1040A, and 1040 EZ supplied by the IRS to us. So if you're in need of the instruction booklet, or any of the schedules or any other forms those will not be supplied to libraries...."
Brewster says residents in rural areas, especially without good broadband or if they're unfamiliar with internet downloads, might be in a pinch...
"....we have a combination of an older population and people who don't have easy access to Internet, so filing on paper may be some people's best, or only, option...."
Brewster says to help out tax filers who are used to getting forms at the Demmer Memorial Library in Three Lakes they're going to let patrons use the computers at the library to download the documents they need. She says the IRS has an 800 number you can call to order copies of the forms, but wait times are said to be long.
More information is available at the Demmer Memorial Library.
