It's that taxing time of year ... and The Library is ready once again to help.
Federal forms and instructions are available free of charge at the Main Branch in Ashland, as well as the Catlettsburg and Summit branches. The Kentucky Revenue Cabinet does not provide bulk forms and instructions to libraries, but BCPL staff will print off one copy of every state form that a patron needs. Additional copies are 10 cents per page. Instructions can also be printed at a cost of 10 cents per page.
To get Kentucky forms, you can also go to www.revenue.ky.gov/forms or call (502) 564-3658.
