It’s everyone’s favorite time of year — tax filing season! The Waltham Public Library has hard copies of some of the IRS forms, including the 1040, 1040A, and 1040EZ. The reference staff can also print out up to 2 copies of the federal forms from the IRS website or the state forms from the Massachusetts Department of Revenue website. If you request this service, you must know the exact number of the form that you need. Patrons can print out their own forms using any of the public computers in the library.
Here are a list of resources to get you through tax season, including contact information for the Internal Revenue Service and the Massachusetts Department of Revenue, as well as services which provide free tax help. Good luck!
