These gifts are tax deductible and if made by December 31, 2010 can be counted on ones 2010 income taxes. The library is considered a non-profit organization thus donations to the library are tax deductible. If you are looking for an organization to give to, please consider the library. Federal and Michigan deductions and credits encourage your support by offering significant income tax savings. For your particular needs, consult with your tax advisor. Your gift would help the library meet the changing needs of our community in these challenging economic times.<br \/>\n<strong>Income Tax Info<\/strong><br \/>\nBriggs Public Library will once again be serving as a tax form distribution site.  Federal Forms will be available beginning January 3, 2011.  Michigan Forms will be distributed in February 2011 or as soon as received.  You can go to the IRS website for Federal Income Tax information <a href=\"http:\/\/www.irs.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.irs.gov\/<\/a> to print forms yourself.  Printing forms at the Library costs $0.25 per page.
