The Oscar Grady Public Library has federal and state tax forms for patron use.  However, each year more and more Wisconsin taxpayers are filing their state and federal income tax returns electronically.  E-filing is a free and secure way to file your income tax returns.  It also allows those receiving refunds to get them within days, rather than weeks, by using direct deposit.
