2020 Tax Form information

The Federal, State, & Local Governments are pushing 
 to have more and more individuals file on-line. 

In 2018, libraries received a letter from the IRS stating that the
Federal Government will severly limit the number of hard copy 
and instruction booklets libraries may request for public access.
​Our supply of Federal forms are on a first come, first served basis.

HOWEVER, our YPL staff will be glad to help you find and print
general and specialty tax forms or you at the circulation desk
($ 0.25 per page printing fee will be applied)

Or you can USE THE LINKS (right) to have
1. Federal and State Forms mailed directly to you
(or print them from home).
​
2. Local tax forms should be mailed to you but an on-line link
is provided (right).

*Important IRS notification regarding 2020 Tax Forms from the IRS website:
1. As was the case last year, for Tax Year 2020, you will no longer use Form 1040A or Form 1040 EZ
2. Instead you will use the redesigned Form 1040 (redesigned in 2018).
3. Many people will only need to file Form 1040 and no schedules.
4. However, if your return is more complicated (for example you claim certain deductions or credits, or owe additional taxes)
you will need to complete one or more of the newer Form 1040 Schedules. (new as of 2018)
5. Individuals who filed their federal tax return electronically last year may not notice any changes,
                                  as the tax return preparation software will automatically use their answers to
the tax questions to complete the Form 1040 and any needed schedules.

       VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance)
for the elderly
                 is only available through the Allegheny Community Senior Center this year, 2021. 
       Although COVID restrictions have resulted in not allowing members of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program to meet                        with Seniors in person this year VITA has created a modified system to assist as many seniors as possible with their taxes.   
              Interested persons must pick up a VITA tax form envelope, 2020 Intake/Interview & Quality Review Sheet, 
          and instruction paper at the Senior Center (42 Clark Street, Warren, PA).
        Youngsville Library does have a limited number of these special envelopes, Intake/Inview Sheets, and instruction papers on-site.    

      Questions contact: Allegheny Community Center at 814-723-4180 or 814-723-3237. Monday - Thursday 9 am - 2 pm.
