Our news item of 28 October 2004 described the move by the IRS to give "document rights" to various forms that are available to download from the IRS website, enabling them to be completed and then saved on the user's computer for future reference. The IRS has now completed the process and has reposted 446 tax forms that had not yet been provided with this new feature.

These IRS forms do not support electronic filing. The form must be completed and mailed to the appropriate IRS address in accordance with that tax form's instructions.

Not all tax forms are fillable. Some forms, especially information returns such as the 1099 series, are displayed for illustration only. These forms must be filed by an employer either electronically or in OCR-scannable format. The instructions for those forms explain the filing options.
