Since it's always a popular subject...and it's that time of the year...
Young lady doing her taxes online at the library asks me for some help. I help her answer a few of the generic questions, but then she asks me to explain filing Federal estimated taxes. I told her that I couldn't help her with any questions related to tax information. She asked me why not, with a little touch of bitterness. I told her that I'm not qualified to help you with any tax-related questions. She seemed ok with that answer.
I posted this because it never ceases to surprise me when people ask tax-related questions of librarians. I guess it's because so many patrons think librarians' are brilliant
I did tell her that although I have been harangued by many internet posters, I could not provide a price break for any copies she required of her finished tax form.
