The Internal Revenue Service has many forms and free publications on a wide variety of topics to help you understand and meet tax filing requirements. If you need IRS materials try one of these easy options:

Internet: You can access forms and publications on the IRS website 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at IRS.gov.

Phone: Call 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676) to order current year forms, instructions and publications and prior year forms and instructions. You should receive your order within 10 days.

Walk-in: During the tax-filing season, many libraries and post offices offer free tax forms to taxpayers. Some libraries also have copies of commonly-requested publications. Braille materials may also be available. Many large grocery stores, copy centers, and office supply stores have forms you can photocopy or print from a CD.

Mail: Send your order for tax forms and publications to National Distribution Center, P.O. Box 8903, Bloomington,IL, 61702-8903. You should receive your products within 10 days after we receive your order.

You may be concerned about whether the forms you file are affected by the Alternative Minimum Tax legislation passed by Congress in late December. You can download the updated forms and get the latest news about when the IRS will be ready for your return at IRS.gov.
