Tax Resources
Need Information About Taxes?
Milwaukee Public Library has resources that can help.
At Your Local Library
Tax forms are available at your local library branch, though instruction booklets and some specialized forms are not available in print at the library due to an Act of Congress. You can still view these forms online, print them yourself at the library for 15¢ per page, or order them via phone from the IRS.
