With e-filing, paper tax forms are getting harder to find
Brooklyn Business Library carries tax forms going back to 1979
The majority of taxpayers now file their income taxes online, but if you are one of the roughly 20 percent who still submit on paper, don’t wait until the April 15 tax filing deadline to pick up your forms, because you may not find them in time.
In its push to encourage electronic filing, the IRS no longer automatically sends taxpayers paper income tax packages in the mail. Breaking years of tradition, tax forms are no longer available at many post office branches — and not all library branches carry them, either.
