2024 Tax Information

The Internal Revenue Service announced that the nation’s tax season starts on Monday, January 27, 2025, when the tax agency begins accepting and processing 2024 tax year returns. The filing deadline is Tuesday, April 15, 2025.

Tax forms and instructions for Federal, State of Ohio, Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA), and Central Collection Agency (CCA) are available in limited supply near the Ask Us desk at the library.

Federal Taxes

There will be a limited number of Federal tax forms sent to Westlake Porter Public Library (and all other libraries nationwide) this year.

You can obtain copies of additional forms through the IRS.

Ohio State Taxes

Due to the continued increase of electronic filing, effective for tax years 2022, 2023 and 2024, the Ohio Department of Taxation will no longer send bulk quantities of instruction booklets and forms to any third party locations. All individuals are encouraged to file electronically, when possible. WPPL has a limited number of instruction booklets for checkout.
