As of February 10, 2011, the Library has received the Michigan tax forms and the Federal 1040 Instruction Booklets.

The federal government will not be mailing forms to individuals this year. Also, due to a Congress decision on tax issues late in December, the IRS is facing delays in printing and shipping of many of the 2010 tax forms and tax preparation booklets. As a result of this delay, libraries do not expect most forms and booklets until some time in February. The Library does have a limited number and types of forms now. However, if you cannot wait until February, you can place phone orders at 800-829-3676 or you can request forms and publications online at www.irs.gov. The forms and publications will be sent to you by U.S. Mail.

You may also download and print off tax forms on your own. The IRS website, the State of Michigan website, and City of Detroit website provides forms, instructions, and publications available to download and print. You can also find tax assistance on this page (some free & some for nominal fee). For more information, please see the links below.
