Tax Help
In 2024 we offered in-person Tax Help at eleven locations in partnership with United Way of King County and AARP. Both United Way and AARP also offer free virtual Tax Help.
Tax forms
Most IRS forms, instructions and publications are available online at www.irs.gov.
Due to federal budget cuts, the IRS is unable to provide the Library with certain tax forms and instruction booklets. To ask the IRS to mail you forms and instructions, order online at www.IRS.gov/orderforms or call 1-800-829-3676.
You may make free black-and-white prints of the forms from Library computers: www.spl.org/Print
Other Free In-person Tax Help
United Way of King County and AARP are also offering in-person tax help at many non-library locations throughout King County.
