Why these forms belong together
The common thread is not a tax category. It is a workflow category. These forms often come after a user already made, or was told to make, a separate decision: report a gift, request an extension, update an address, elect a classification, apply for an EIN, notify the IRS of fiduciary authority, or request a residency certificate.
Generic PDF filling can miss the practical checks around form years, required signatures, mailing proof, unsupported facts, and privacy. Full-service tax preparation can be too heavy when the user only needs a narrow paper packet. Tax Paperwork is meant to sit between those extremes.
Composite examples
A parent who made a large cash gift may need to prepare a gift tax return even when the current tax due is zero. A small business owner may already have professional guidance to make an S corporation election and just needs the form mechanics organized. A business that moved may need to update its IRS address or responsible party without turning that task into a full tax return.
These are composite scenarios, not customer stories. We do not publish private user stories, and the software should not infer the best tax strategy from a short interview.
Vision
The long-term vision is a library of specialized IRS paperwork workflows with the same product standard: plain-language questions, strict scope gates, local draft PDF generation, transparent source links, and clear handoffs to independent professional review when judgment is required.
The product should be useful even before it is broad. A narrow workflow with good boundaries is better than a large form library that quietly asks users to make legal, tax, accounting, valuation, fiduciary, or treaty decisions without saying so.
What Tax Paperwork is not
Tax Paperwork is not a tax preparer, law firm, CPA firm, IRS transmitter, IRS-approved filing channel, or professional marketplace. In public preview, generated PDFs are watermarked drafts for testing and review only. Final filing packets, payment, professional review, IRS submission, and mailing services remain disabled.
