The 1040, 1040 A and 1040 EZ instruction booklets have arrived.
We also have 1099-MISC and 1096 forms.

Additional federal tax forms, instruction booklets and supplemental forms are available online at www.irs.gov or can be requested at 1-800-829-3676.

The Kansas K-40, Schedule S and K-40H (homestead claim) forms are available at the Customer Service desk for 25¢ each. The library purchases these forms from the State of Kansas and the charge is to cover our costs.

Kansas tax forms are also available at the Taxpayer Assistance Center located in the Scott State Office Building (120 SE 10th).

Free Tax Help

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) is available at the library February 1 through April 14 during the 2018 tax season.

Hours: Tuesdays 6-8:30pm | Thursdays 3-8:30pm | Saturdays 1-4pm

  • Sign up begins at 9am each day VITA is at the library. Customers will sign up at the information desk in the rotunda, which will save them a place in line. We can take 20 people on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and 30 people on Thursdays.  After they sign up, the customer can then leave and then return at the time the VITA service begins.
