Get your own state tax forms this year

Hey, if it were up to most of us, we’d probably just skip the whole tax thing.
But the state has this thing about getting its revenue, and on time, too!
This year, due to the massive financial challenges now facing the Empire State, the state Department of Taxation will not be mailing any personal income tax forms and instructions to residents.
It will, instead, send out postcards with instructions as to how you can get the forms and instructions. The possibilities include visiting www.nystax.gov and local libraries.
Assemblyman Kenneth Zebrowski has sent out a news release to bring tax filers up to date. He said the Taxation Department estimates that fewer than 5 percent of New Yorkers use the mailed forms, opting instead to use a paid preparer or software. By skipping the mailing, Zebrowski said, the department also estimates it can save $1 million in printing and postage.
If you have a problem getting the materials you need to file your state taxes, Zebrowski said you can call him at 845-634-9791. The offer is good for any Rockland resident, not just those in his district, he said.
