Where is your federal tax form?

YOUNGSTOWN — Already a week into February, some people may have noticed their tax forms still haven’t arrived in the mail.

They won’t be coming anytime soon, either.

That’s because this year, the Internal Revenue Service has decided not to mail out tax booklets, which normally come with instructions and corresponding forms, instead pushing citizens toward filing taxes online.

It’s not too much of change, however, as only 8 percent of filers received the packets in 2010. Those who filed paper returns last year should have received a postcard in October explaining how they could obtain the paper forms in 2011, according to the IRS’ website.

One option listed on the postcard is to visit a local library.

Janet Loew, the communications and public relations director at Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County, said those wishing to file the paper forms can pick up copies at the main library, 305 Wick Ave. in Youngstown, or any of the 15 branches.
