It’s hard to believe it’s already tax season again. Tax day is Tuesday, April 17th this year. It’s time to gather all of your documents and forms. Though the IRS will not be sending out print forms to the library, you can still print off forms there. All you need is a valid library card to use our computers.
- You can find federal forms online at https://www.irs.gov/forms-instructions.
- Missouri forms can be found at http://dor.mo.gov/forms/.
There are a lot of changes this year, due to “The Tax Cut and Jobs Act.” Tax brackets have changed; deductions have changed; some former exemptions can no longer be claimed; and some credits have altered or disappeared. For more information, and a side-by-side comparison of the tax code before and after the law, Factcheck.org has a detailed breakdown here: https://www.factcheck.org/2017/12/guide-tax-changes/.
Taxes can be confusing, stressful, and downright awful. Luckily, there are great organizations that can help navigate the thicket. One of those is AARP. As in years past, the library will host AARP to help individuals with their taxes through February, March, and April. Both the Northern Resource Center (serving Belton, Raymore, & Peculiar) and the Harrisonville Branch will have AARP representatives available every week. Tax help is available by appointment only, and they are accepting appointments now.
