Q: Does the library have paper copies of Tax Forms and Instruction Booklets?
Federal tax forms can be printed out from Federal Tax Forms or you can ask the Librarian at the desk to print out tax forms for you. Forms with Instructions can be printed out from https://www.tax.ny.gov/forms/
If you need other forms printed out, you can request these from your local librarians, within reason (for example, Instructions cannot be printed due to their size). Or, with a valid library card, you can sign up for a PC to print 20 pages at the Cyber Center
Q: Where can I find answers to my additional questions?
