TAX FORMS

For your convenience, printed federal tax forms for the current tax year are available in the front lobby of the Library during the tax season (January 1 through April 15).   A copy of Reproducible Federal Tax Forms is also available at the Reference Desk.  The Library keeps reproducible copies for five years plus the current year. The Reference Librarians cannot answer specific tax questions, but will be happy to search the IRS database and download any forms you cannot find in our collection.
