[Michlib-l] TFOP Alert: IRS Forms and Publications Update (133730X)

[James Lenze]

At Garden City, we also received the notice yesterday.  Since the notice did not specify which forms were affected, we chose to leave the forms out for the public.  We printed the notice and posted it by the tax forms.  I also forwarded the notice to all of my reference staff.

Hi Jolee,

We got the notice yesterday.  I called our Representative's office and was told the tax law changes only affect the 2018 W-4 for withholding.  The staffer said the forms for filing 2017 taxes are not affected.  We had already been giving out forms for about a month when we got the letter (Notice 1437) yesterday, and had no way of contacting people who had already picked up forms.  We're leaving our forms out, but will be considering whether we continue to distribute printed forms in future years.  If any of this comes back to haunt us, we'll definitely default to providing access to and assistance with the IRS web site.

Hope this helps,
Paul

With the new notice from the IRS that there may be changes made to the federal forms because of the new tax law passed on Feb 9, AND the fact that the IRS will NOT be printing the forms to send to libraries, what are other library systems doing? Are you pulling the forms with signage and info, telling folks were to order when they are ready? Or….? Thanks for thoughts.
