The Library participates annually in the tax form distribution program. 

Maine Revenue Services is not distributing paper versions of the Maine State tax forms through the public libraries.  If you need paper forms, please call the Maine Revenue Service at: 207-624-7894.  If you do not reach a person, please leave a message stating that you wish to have a paper form mailed to you.  Include your name, address, phone number and whether you wish to receive the short or long form in the message. You can also order the forms online  or mail your request to: PO Box 9107, Augusta, ME 04332-9107.

The Library provides free federal tax forms from February through the Tuesday, April 19th. The date was pushed back this year because April 15, 2022 is Emancipation Day and April 18, 2022 is Patriot's Day.The Library carries the 1040 federal forms and instructions booklets. We will send out an announcement as soon as the forms arrive, but until then we can print the forms from online (as they become available) for our usual printing fee of $0.10 per page.
