Where to Get Federal Tax Forms
The Boston Public Library does have tax forms.
Tax forms are available at the Central Library and most branches. If you are hoping to get them from a branch, call ahead to make sure they are in stock.
Forms available are the IRS 1040 booklet and the instruction booklet for those forms along with the Massachusetts Form 1 and Form 1 NR/PY (for nonresident and part year resident filers.)
