Information Returns

Forms that report a payment or transaction to the IRS. You often receive these rather than file them, and the IRS matches them against your return.

Before you file

Always download the current revision directly from IRS.gov. Forms are revised between tax years, and filing on a superseded version is a common cause of processing delays.

If this form is part of resolving a balance, an audit or a collection notice, the way it is completed matters as much as filing it. The figures on a financial statement or an offer decide what the IRS will accept. We can review your situationbefore anything is submitted, at no cost.
