2020 State, Federal Tax Forms
The Georgetown Peabody Library has copies of the 2020 MA Tax Booklet (Form 1) available at the outside table during our curbside pickup hours. Please note, we do not receive federal income tax forms.
On January 15, the IRS announced that the 2021 tax filing season would begin on February 12. The February 12 start date for individual tax return filers allows the IRS time to do additional programming and testing of IRS systems following the December 27 tax law changes that provided a second round of Economic Impact Payments and other benefits. Most IRS tax forms, instructions and publications will be available electronically on IRS.gov by the beginning of the filing season (February 12).
The filing deadline to submit 2020 tax returns is Monday, May 17 for most taxpayers.
You can get most forms online. Printable forms are available at the following links:
MA tax forms or MassTaxConnect
You can save paper by filing your state and federal returns online. The IRS and MA Department of Revenue both offer secure portal options at:
