Substitute Forms

The IRS accepts quality substitute tax forms that are consistent with 

the official forms and have no adverse impact on our processing. The 

official Form 8922 is the standard for substitute forms. Because a 

substitute form is a variation from the official form, you should know 

the requirements of the official form for the year of use before you 

create a substitute version. For details on the requirements for 

substitute forms, see Pub. 1167.

and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism.

You’re not required to provide the information requested on a form
