Tax forms
Library staff can help you locate federal and state tax forms by number or name. Forms can be printed or requested on the IRS website, from the Oregon Department of Revenue, and the Washington State Department of Revenue. Federal tax forms in print typically arrive in libraries sometime in January. IRS offices—the nearest are in Vancouver, Portland, and Yakima—also have select printed tax forms available. To ask the IRS a question, call 800-829-1040 (English & Spanish) or 833-553-9895 (other languages). IRS offices also have a selection of print forms available:
