Do you have Federal Tax Forms?

Amherst Town Library provides a few Federal and New Hampshire Tax forms and publications. More information about available forms will be posted closer to tax season.

Please note that the IRS is strongly encouraging obtaining tax forms online and are thus sending fewer hard copies to libraries. The IRS will be providing only the following federal forms and instructions to libraries: 1040 & 1040SR. We typically receive forms and publications by mid-February.
