Frequently Asked Questions
Call your local library to make sure the form you need is available.
Yes, library staff will print a specific form upon request but you will need to view instructions, tables, and schedules online. Staff cannot provide advice to you about which form you need.
Once a library runs out of forms, you will need to pick them up from a different library. Staff can help you locate a form at another nearby library, if they are still available.
Tax forms can be picked up at your local library.
