Tax Forms & Information

If you’re looking for assistance with your tax filings, you can use services like the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program and the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide will offer five sessions at Orange Branch Library to help with tax preparation, on February 9, February 23, March 8, March 22, and April 5. Registration is required; call 614-450-2529 and leave a message. You can also visit irs.treasury.gov/freetaxprep to find another VITA or Tax-Aide location near to you.

Your Delaware County District Library locations also provide federal, state, municipal and school district tax forms as needed on demand. Library staff can find the forms, print them, and print instructions, but cannot provide any advice on how to fill them out. The first copy of any tax form is printed for patrons free of charge, and the first 10 pages of printed instructions will be offered for free.

Download and fill out forms on your computer, or stop by your local library branch and let us help you print what you need.

File electronically.

Note: Some forms, including the 1096, 1099, W-2 and W-4 forms, are required to use official IRS printed versions and not unofficial printed copies; you can place an order here.

Please note: If you feel you are unable to meet the federal filing deadline and need to file an extension, follow these instructions.
