On February 20, 2018, the Library received Notice 1437 (February 2018) from the IRS:
The IRS is reviewing The Bipartisan Budget Act enacted on February 9, 2018, that retroactively extended and modified numerous tax provisions covering 2017. As most tax forms were printed for distribution prior to the signing of new legislation, we recognize this may impact some tax forms ordered. To ensure you have the latest version of the tax product, we strongly encourage you to visit IRS.gov for updates on the implementation of this law. Updated versions of tax forms will only be available on IRS.gov.
THIS MEANS THE LIBRARY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE FORMS WE RECEIVED FROM THE IRS ARE CURRENT AND CORRECT. PLEASE VERIFY YOU ARE USING THE CORRECT FORM AT IRS.GOV.
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
February 2018
Please read this statement from the IRS about websites that may look like the official IRS.GOV site: "There are commercial Internet sites that often resemble the authentic IRS site or contain some form of the IRS name in the address but end with a .com, .net, .org or other designation instead of .gov. These sites have no connection to the IRS. Consumers may unknowingly visit these sites when searching the Internet to retrieve tax forms, publications and other information from the IRS."
