Lawrence Public Library is receiving fewer tax forms from the IRS every year. This year, we will have a limited supply of the simplified 1040 forms and schedules ("Package 1040"), and instruction booklets available. (Note: Due to changes in the tax law, 1040A and 1040EZ forms will no longer be available. Read here for more information.) We do not have Kansas or Missouri state income tax forms. Please consult the following information for access to additional forms and tax assistance.
