Millions of Americans are e-filing their tax returns each year. For many, e-filing makes tax time less of a headache. We encourage you to look into e-filing to see if it would be beneficial to you. While the Library cannot recommend that you attempt to file your tax returns on its computers, it is possible to e-file on a Library computer following the guidelines and rules listed below.

NOTE: If you are in the library and wish to print forms or publications, please remember that you will be charged 10¢ per page for black and white printing; 50¢ per page for color printing (available only at Main Library, Austintown, Boardman and Poland). Tax forms are not exempt from printing charges. We are an official tax form distribution location in Mahoning County (at no cost to you), however we do not carry all forms, and we occasionally run out of those we do. If you choose to print forms or publications, you must pay for them.

1. There is a one-hour time limit on the Library's public computers at Main Library, Austintown, Boardman and Poland and a 30-minute time limit on computers at all other branches. If your time limit is up and someone else is waiting, you will not be able to continue working even if you are in the middle of your return. Many of the online filing services will let you save your work and return to it later, but doing so properly is your responsibility.

2. The Library cannot guarantee the reliability of its public computers or its connection to the Internet. We try hard to keep our computers working properly, but sometimes computers don't work properly. The Library absolutely cannot and will not be held liable for any problems you may incur, directly or indirectly arising from the use of Library computers. Please read the Library's Internet Policy.

3. Our computers are used by many people each day. We cannot guarantee that data you input in one of our computers will not be accessible by someone else at a later time. E-filing requires a significant amount of personal information (name, social security number, salary, etc.) which you might not want available to others.

4. The Library staff is unable to offer you assistance with our tax returns. We are not tax professionals. Please do not ask us for tax advice. We will not give it to you. If you are attempting to e-file on one of our computers and the computer malfunctions, we can try to fix the computer, but we will not answer any questions related to your tax returns.
