Tax Season is Here
On January 4, the IRS announced that the 2018 tax filing season would begin on January 29, 2018. The IRS set the opening date to ensure the security and readiness of key tax processing systems in advance of the opening and to assess the potential impact of recent tax legislation on 2017 tax returns.
The IRS is currently working to finalize the forms and instructions to reflect the legislation which passed in late December. While most IRS tax forms, instructions, and publications will be available electronically on IRS.gov by the beginning of the filing season (Jan. 29), the printing and distribution process for printed products takes longer to complete.
The Lynnfield Public Library has Massachusetts Tax Forms available on the Tax Table outside the Genealogy Room on the first floor under the Mezzanine. Federal forms will be made available as they arrive.
Please contact the Reference Department at 781.334.5411, 781.334.6404 or [email protected] to check on the availability of forms.
AROUND THE LIBRARY
Check out the Internet - with a Hotspot!
Are you wondering what a Hotspot is? A Hotspot (or Hot Spot) emits a wireless Internet signal that WiFi-enabled devices such as tablets, smartphones, and laptops, etc. can connect to, to get online.
Hotspots are portable once the battery is charged, and only require recharging every few hours. They can be used in your home, in a car, or anywhere service is available.
You can borrow a Hotspot from the Library for one week at a time. Come to the Library and check one out today!
