Where To Get Tax Forms

By on February 2, 2011 in Adults, Michael, Tax Information

You may have heard the not too surprising news that the IRS and FTB will not be delivering state and Federal tax forms to your home as they had in the past. That’s the bad news.  The good news is that the Sunnyvale Public Library has some of the most popular tax forms and publications for you to review or photocopy.   We also have computers available for you to print your documents.   The following links and phone numbers may also aid you in finding what you need.  You may request forms by phone at the toll-free numbers listed below.  Should you require help with any of these matters please ask.
