Need to check gains or losses for a stock or another kind of fund?  Try the Companies/Markets historical data information from the Factiva database:

Click on the Companies/Markets link at the top of the screen. Select the Instrument and type in the ticker symbol or abbreviation for the instrument. Click Historical and pick the time period and format for the report

If you wish to print information or tax forms from these web sites in the Health Sciences Library, a copy card will be needed and printing will cost 10 cents/page.

Many Colorado libraries may have forms or reproducible forms, but it is best to call for information, since not all libraries distribute forms. Click on “FIND A LIBRARY” at http://www.aclin.org/ for phone numbers.   Aurora Public Libraries locations, hours and phone numbers:  http://www.auroralibrary.org/

Federal forms can also be picked up at the IRS Office, 1999 Broadway (corner of Broadway and 19^th Street) Denver, Monday – Friday 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.   Colorado Forms only at the Colorado Department of Revenue 1375 Sherman Street – Lobby  8 a.m.- 5 p.m.
