Taxes and Voting

The three public libraries in Union County — The Public Library for Union County in Lewisburg, the Herr Memorial Library in Mifflinburg, and the West End Library in Laurelton — will have basic tax forms and publications as soon as they receive them from the government. Other forms are available to download from official state and federal websites.

Library staff cannot offer tax preparation assistance.  Contact information for tax agencies is listed below.

During the tax season, area libraries have tax forms for your convenience.  Throughout the year, the libraries have reproducible tax forms available to copy, and they offer public computers that may be used to download and print tax forms from the appropriate website listed below.  Each library charges a small fee for copies and for computer printouts.

* Tax returns must be mailed by midnight on Tuesday, April 17, 2012. The traditional tax return filing deadline is April 15 of each year, but April 15, 2012 is a Sunday and April 16, 2012 falls on Emancipation Day in the District of Columbia.


The traditional tax return filing deadline is April 15 of each year, but the IRS has approved April 18, 2011, as the filing deadline for 2010 Federal Tax Returns and extension requests in observation of Emancipation Day in Washington, D.C.

Emancipation Day is a holiday in Washington, D.C. to mark the anniversary of the signing of the Compensated Emancipation Act, which President Abraham Lincoln signed on April 16, 1862. The holiday is held annually on April 16.

I-Can! E-File is a free online program you can use to prepare and file your Federal and Pennsylvania taxes.  Just answer simple questions on each screen.  The program will automatically check to see if you are eligible for an Earned Income Tax Credit and other tax credits.  Then it creates a completed tax return that you can file electronically or print and mail.
