Subject: [Fwd: Source for Tax Forms on CDROM]

I received this from another list. I have downloaded the PDF adobe
acrobat format from the Treasurer's ftp site. It took about 4 hours
though. I keep the files on the HD and use Acrobat to print them out.
This might be more efficient than having patrons tying to ftp the files
and cheaper than the $40 IRS will charge.

BTW, why is the IRS charging for this CD when they send everyone to the
libraries for all documents (at least locally they do)?
