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

[Patricia Braden]

We came to the same conclusion as Keegan. We made copies of the notice and stapled it to our copies of the 1040 instruction booklet.

According to this link: [ https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/changes-to-current-forms-publications | https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/changes-to-current-forms-publications ] 
I think we are mostly OK except for a section of the 1040 Instruction booklet. The other changes mentioned are not to any forms we have available for patrons to just to take. They all have to be printed. We printed out the corrected page for the 1040 instructionsand put it in our instruction booklets. As Paul mentioned though, there is no way to inform people who have already taken the booklet.

Hi Paul, 

Your rep was probably thinking about the tax cuts and jobs act of last year which affected withholding. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 is much more of a mess because it retroactively extended a bunch of tax credits that had expired at the end of 2016 to expire in December 2017. I have no idea if this affects forms or just instructions and I'm guessing the IRS is still trying to figure that out as well. 

Here is a small list of some of the changes:

I know some people with solar projects that are waiting to redo their taxes because of it. I guess we'll have to wait and see what the IRS re-issues.

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.
