Looking for ways to help your family during these tough economic times? The State Library of Kansas has put together a great resource that can help.
Tax Forms
Federal Tax Forms now are available at the library. They are located behind the reference desk. Many forms can also be downloaded from www.irs.gov. Kansas Tax Forms are no longer available at libraries due to state revenue shortfalls. For information about filing your state income tax online or ordering paper copies of state forms, visit the Kansas Department of Revenue website.
