IRS Tax Forms  

2008 Individual Income Taxes:
Forms, & Instructions

All IRS tax forms, instructions, and publications are in the Adobe Acrobat PDF format. All IRS forms, with the exception of the "Information Returns" such as W-2s, and 1099's, are now fill-in capable. The IRS recommends that you use the Adobe Acrobat Reader version 8.13, or higher, to view or print these forms. For more information see "Using IRS Fill-in Tax Forms."

Note that the IRS does not revise every IRS tax form every year. All major IRS tax forms, such as the 1040 series, are revised annually, but the form that are less frequently used, and which are not impacted by yearly tax law changes, are revised only when necessary.

Forms revised annually will have the year shown in the upper right hand corner of the form, and forms revised periodically will have their revision date shown underneath the form number in the upper left hand corner of the form. The current revision date is shown with each form listing. Revision dates are shown either by the tax year or by the month and year they are revised.

At the bottom of the page is a search box you can use to search either the entire 2008 Tax Forms area, or the entire site. Our search engine searches inside PDF files. For more information, see Search Our Site
