• Guidelines for using GRRL computers to file taxes online: GRRL libraries provide public access computer use by reservation. These computers have links to internet tax information and preparation sites. Please note that GRRL policy does not permit installation of third party software onto GRRL computers. Although some sites may allow full online filing of taxes without installation of local software, the time to file taxes may exceed the reserved time allowed for individual computer use. You may need to create and remember passwords and personal identification numbers during the filing of taxes online.  Library staff do not assist patrons with filling out tax forms. Assistance from staff is limited to helping patrons locate tax forms online, and directing patrons to other print or online resources. Users are cautioned that the Internet is not a secure medium. Personal information included in all transactions, files and communications may be subject to unauthorized access by third parties.
