Tax Form Information
Wau  kesha Public Library will continue to be a local distribution point for state and federal tax forms, but they have not yet arrived. We have received word that, due to pending legislation, the tax forms will be shipped several weeks later than usual. We are estimating arrival by mid-February, but cannot be certain. The forms will likely be available online before we receive them here.
