Tax Help at the Library

The federal government deadline to file 2020 federal taxes is April 15, 2021. The Seattle Public Library has tax help resources to help patrons access the forms they need to file taxes on time or request an extension.

All of the Library's Curbside Service and restroom access locations will have 1040 tax forms and instructions available in English and Spanish.

Other commonly requested tax forms will be available at the Central Library during its Curbside Service hours from noon to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays:

  • 1040/1040-SR forms and instructions
  • Extension forms
  • Forms from the 1099 series
  • 1096 forms
  • W-2 and W-3 forms

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Library staff will not be able to provide Tax Help or assistance with how to use these forms. Visit our Tax Help page for services like AARP and United Way that will help you file your taxes.
