TAXES
The Des Moines Public Library doesn’t provide pre-printed tax forms, but you can print federal tax forms and state tax forms from the web. Public Internet computers are available at the library as well as printing (10 cents per page).
Individual and business taxpayers will no longer receive paper income tax packages in the mail from the IRS. These automatically mailed tax packages contained the forms, schedules and instructions for filing a paper income tax return.
You still may request individual printed federal tax forms in-person, by phone, and through the web. See below.
