State and Federal Tax Forms Now Available at the Library

A limited number of Massachusetts state resident and Federal tax form booklets are now available at the library.

Following the most expansive tax law changes in 30 years, the IRS created a shorter, simpler Form 1040 for the 2019 tax season. The new Form 1040 will replace the current Form 1040 as well as the Form 1040A and the Form 1040EZ.

The new Form 1040 uses a "building block" approach, in which the tax return is reduced to a simple form. That form can be supplemented with additional schedules if needed. Taxpayers with straightforward tax situations would only need to file this new 1040 with no additional schedules.

Vineyard Haven Library will have a limited number of forms available as Package 1040, that will include one copy of the new Form 1040 along with one copy of the schedules. Instructions for Form 1040 are also available in a separate booklet.

Package 1040 Contents:
•        Form 1040 — U.S. Individual Income Tax Return
•        Schedule 1 — Additional Income & Adjustments to Income
•        Schedule 2 — Tax (Additional Taxes)
•        Schedule 3 — Non-Refundable Credits
•        Schedule 4 — Other Taxes
•        Schedule 5 — Other Payments and Refundable Credits
•        Schedule 6 — Foreign Address and Third-Party Designee
