Quick answer
Use IRS.gov for official forms, instructions, addresses, fax numbers, payment pages, upload rules, and processing status. Tax Paperwork can organize local drafts for selected workflows, but it does not submit, fax, mail, upload, pay, retrieve, issue, or confirm IRS paperwork.
Source and advice boundary
Use the linked IRS and Pay.gov pages below as official source starting points. This guide is education-only and does not provide tax, legal, accounting, fiduciary, treaty, payment, mailing-address, filing-channel, or professional advice.
Channel summary
The safest first question is not whether a draft can be generated. It is which official channel controls the next step and what proof the user should keep after using that channel.
This table is intentionally conservative. It points to official sources instead of copying volatile mailing addresses, fax numbers, fee rules, or processing claims.

What this table is good for
- Choosing the right official-source starting point before relying on a local draft.
- Separating draft preparation from IRS-controlled steps such as mailing, faxing, online applications, upload, payment, and processing status.
- Planning records to keep after a customer-controlled official step.
When to stop before drafting
- The question is about eligibility, tax treatment, entity classification, fiduciary authority, treaty eligibility, valuation, penalties, interest, or payment amount.
- The user wants confirmation that the IRS received, accepted, processed, or updated a record.
- The user is comparing a saved third-party article, old instructions, or a draft against current IRS.gov sources.
