Tax forms
Most IRS forms, instructions and publications are available online at
www.irs.gov.
Due to federal budget cuts, the IRS is unable to provide the Library with
certain tax forms and instruction booklets. To ask the IRS to mail you forms
and instructions, order online at www.IRS.gov/orderforms or call
1-800-829-3676.
You may make free black-and-white prints of the forms from Library
computers: www.spl.org/Print
