Caution: The form, instruction, or publication 

you are looking for begins on the next page. But first 

see the important information below.

This form, instruction, or publication is being revised to reflect legislation 

enacted December 20, 2019. The updated revision will be posted here as soon as 

possible. We apologize for the delay and inconvenience. The most recently issued 

final revision begins on the next page, but, again, is being updated to reflect recent 

legislation.

Early release drafts of forms and instructions (and some pubs) are posted before 

the final release at IRS.gov/DraftForms (note that they remain there after the final 

release is. The most recently issued final revision of forms, instructions, and 

publications is posted at www.irs.gov/LatestForms and at www.irs.gov/AllForms, 

which has revisions for all years each form, instruction, or pub has been issued.

Almost every form and publication has a page on IRS.gov with a friendly 

shortcut. For example, the Form 1040 page is at IRS.gov/Form1040; the Pub. 501 

page is at IRS.gov/Pub501; the Form W-4 page is at IRS.gov/W4; and the 

Schedule A (Form 1040 or 1040-SR) page is at IRS.gov/ScheduleA. (If typing in a 

link above instead of clicking on it, be sure to type the link into the address bar of 

your browser, not a Search box.) Note that instructions and publications are 

available from these pages in PDF for printing, HTML for viewing online, and in 

many cases, in eBook format for mobile viewing (see www.irs.gov/eBook for 

more details).

If you wish, you can submit comments to the IRS about draft or final forms, 

instructions, or publications at IRS.gov/FormComments. We cannot respond to all 

comments due to the high volume we receive and may not be able to consider 

many suggestions until the subsequent revision of the product.

All information about all forms, instructions, and pubs is at IRS.gov/Forms.
