TAX FORM TIME


Tax forms are the most popular government publications the Reading Main Library receives. All local, state, and federal forms and publications will be made available to the public on MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2.

Please note that while the library is able to provide access to these publications, the librarians are not permitted to assist patrons with any tax questions. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1) Which tax form should I use?
2) How do I fill out this form?
3) Can you explain or interpret this tax publication or instruction?


We are fortunate that there is an IRS Office located very close to the Main Library; it's at 201 Penn Street and we direct all tax questions there.

Here are some helpful telephone numbers for patrons with questions about tax forms:

READING CITY--TAX ADMINISTRATION OFFICE:
(610) 655-6334


BERKS COUNTY EARNED INCOME TAX OFFICE:
(610) 372-8439


PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE:
1-888-728-2937*



FEDERAL TAXES/INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE:
1-800-829-1040

* There is no option to speak to a human being (shameful, isn't it?) via this number. It does, however, provide a wealth of information that just may provide the answers one is seeking. Patrons who do wish to speak to someone directly must utilize a toll number: 717-787-8201.
HAPPY FILING...
