Individual Income Tax Forms

Back to Top of Page

Self Calculation Forms - We encourage you to use the self-calculation forms provided below.  Self-calculation forms are designed to perform the math computations for you, using the numbers that you enter onto the form.  Your accuracy in entering the numbers has a direct impact on the results of the math computations.  Self-calculation forms are not programmed to detect when tax information is entered incorrectly.  That means the forms cannot notify you that a potential error has been made.   For this reason, we recommend that you double-check your entries, as well as the results of all math computations, before filing your forms.
