The Rice Lake Public Library carries paper copies of common tax forms. If you need a tax form that we do not carry, we can still help by printing out a copy of that form. You can find the tax forms in a display case on the first floor of the library, beyond the circulation desk and by the large print book collection.
Library staff are not trained to give tax advice or recommendations.

The IRS has announced that taxpayers have until April 17 to file their tax returns. The IRS offers a large array of information that can be very confusing. The forms are located on a page that shows the top 20 +/- forms that are requested. Directly below those forms, is a link that connects you to a new website showing all tax forms that is searchable by publication number or title. You may find prior years tax forms on the IRS website as well.
- The tax forms are usually listed alpha-numerically. The link to the actual tax form is the tax form number. The instructions can be found by clicking on the word “Instructions” located to the right of the form.
