My rant on tax forms!!!!

So I deal with many a patron who are so upset because we do not have allllll of the tax forms.  We carry the bare essentials – basically 1040s.  If someone needs one – federal or state – we are happy to go to the irs website and print it out for them.  The catch – it’s .20 cents per page to print.  They are very upset when they have to pay for their tax forms – and I don’t blame them!  If they have to file taxes, the forms should be made readily available in a number of places FOR FREE.  Not everyone has Internet access or a computer for that matter.  Senior citizens especially may not be computer savvy enough to download IRS tax forms but yet, it is assumed that everyone will.  It’s a shame. I feel so bad for those who get upset about having to pay for tax forms.  Unfortunately, we can’t give out free paper either…it’s a vicious cycle.  If only the post offices still carried the darn forms…
