Tax Forms Have Arrived

In 1789, Benjamin Franklin wrote "Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency, but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." For the last 219 years Franklin has been correct, and again this year is no exception.

Both federal and state income forms have begun to arrive at the South River Public Library for your convenience. If our supplies become depleted, we would be happy to print forms from the Internet at $.15 per page. We will also keep copies of all instructions at the Circulation Desk for use at the Library so that patrons can avoid the expense of printing instructions.

IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers (TAC) are your source of face-to-face personal tax help when you believe your tax issue cannot be handled online or over the phone. Federal Tax Return Preparation is also available at IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers for individuals who qualify for Earned Income Tax Credit or for individuals whose income is less than $40,000.

The nearest IRS offices are:

Edison 100 Dey Place, Edison, NJ 08817 (732) 572-9752

Freehold 4 Paragon Way, Freehold, NJ 07728 (732) 660-0063

If face-to-face assistance is not a priority for you, you may also get help by phone; toll free at 1-800-829-1040 (individuals) or 1-800-829-4933 (businesses).

Last year many patrons requested IRS mailing addresses. Please note that there are different mailing addresses (zip codes) depending on which form will be filed and whether that form is accompanied with a a payment. Below is a link to a convenient list of addresses.
