Federal and New York State 2023 Income Tax forms and instructions will be at the Library when they become available, while supplies last. As of February 1, the Library has IRS 1040 and 1040 SR forms and instruction booklets (including in Spanish); we hope to have NY State tax forms by mid-February. We recommend calling the reference desk before making the trip to be sure we have the forms on hand.
The Reference Desk staff will be happy to direct you to online forms, electronic filing options and other tax resources. Forms found online can printed here at the Library at the cost of 20 cents a page.
