[Libs-Or] Tax forms

[Shannon Van Kirk]

We stopped doing it when the forms were no longer sent to us.  Not a peep from anyone.  Our patrons must be mostly electronic filers.

Hi everyone,

Have any of you elected to no longer stock tax forms/booklets at your library? A combination of factors is making a few of us start to rethink whether it's worth the staff time to provide this service.

  1.  The extreme lateness of the forms the past few years, making patrons somewhat annoyed.
  2.  The quickly-dwindling number of patrons who actually use the paper forms.
  3.  The fact that our tax forms got delivered to an unknown alternate address that UPS can't seem to tell us where.
  4.  The amount of staff time trying to deal with problems 1-3.

If your library elected not to have forms/booklets, how did your community react? Were there other places where people could get the forms? I'd love to hear your experiences.

Cheers!
Buzzy
