NOTE: You will also be able to start the On-line Form, then return to the Form at any time before our due date to make any additions and/or corrections.
We are encouraging everyone to use the On-line Form if you are able. This will:
- Save our Office Administrator from having to manually enter the information into our database.
- Enable you to simply change relevant information next year instead of filling out the form all over again.
Whichever option you choose, the due date for this information is February 14, 2021.
If you have any questions, please contact the Co-Stated Clerks or Christine, the Office Administrator.
