Tax Information

IRS Tax forms are available in front of the Local History and Genealogy Room next to Reference Services. The library has supplies of many of the most popular forms and a set of "masters" of all the forms, which can be photocopied. Our staff will help you find the needed forms, but please remember we are not tax experts and cannot give tax advice. The IRS has a website which offers downloadable files of most of the forms and publications:
