Paperwork finder

Which IRS paperwork do I need?

Search the task in plain English or type a form number. Results separate draft checklists, IRS source links, guide-only topics, and proof-record pages before you enter private tax facts.

Public preview Browser-local draft previews and guides only. Not IRS.gov. No tax, legal, accounting, valuation, or professional review. No submission, payment, mailing, transcripts, identity documents, notices, or tax-fact support intake.

Search narrows the path before private facts: supported tasks continue to a browser-local draft preview, while boundary topics stay guide-only.
Draft PDF preview

Address or responsible-party change

Use when: decide whether the task is an individual address change, a business address change, or a responsible-party update before entering private facts.

You get: Form 8822 or Form 8822-B draft previews for known facts; guide-only pages for mailing proof, confirmation expectations, and SS-4 vs 8822-B routing.

Draft PDF preview after decision

S corp or entity classification election

Use when: separate Form 2553 S corporation election mechanics from Form 8832 entity classification mechanics.

You get: draft previews only after the tax-status choice is already made; guide-only pages for comparison, effective dates, status follow-up, and late-election questions.

Draft worksheet or IRS route

EIN or responsible-party paperwork

Use when: distinguish a new EIN worksheet from a post-EIN Form 8822-B update and avoid paid-service or government-account confusion.

You get: browser-local SS-4 worksheet when the EIN path is known; guide-only pages for free IRS EIN, responsible-party basics, confirmation records, and SS-4 vs 8822-B routing.

Draft or guide

Gift tax return, extension, or mailing proof

Use when: check whether the gift fits the supported Form 709 or Form 8892 draft path before treating it as routine form filling.

You get: draft previews for supported 2023-2025 gifts and known extension/voucher mechanics; guide-only pages for filing duty, split gifts, late filing, tax due, stock gifts, deadlines, and mailing proof.

Draft or guide

Residency certificate or fiduciary notice

Use when: route known Form 8802 or Form 56 paperwork separately from treaty, authority, estate, trust, probate, or IRS account-access questions.

You get: draft previews only for known application or notice facts; guide-only pages for Pay.gov proof, Form 6166 limits, signer questions, and fiduciary mailing proof.

Guide only

ITIN, transcript, refund, penalty, or identity issue

Use when: find official-source explanations without uploading identity documents, transcript consents, notices, or dispute facts.

You get: guide-only pages. Tax Paperwork does not collect documents, request transcripts, prepare ITIN packets, respond to notices, submit identity-theft affidavits, or generate draft packets for these topics.
