IRS Forms
The Internal Revenue Service has compiled publications on nearly every tax topic that you are likely to face.
These publications are informational booklets written by the Internal Revenue Service that give taxpayers detailed guidance on tax issues. IRS publications don’t usually provide specific, line-by-line instructions for filling out tax forms—each form has a separate set of instructions for that purpose—but they do provide answers on nearly every tax topic you’re likely to face.
IRS publication content
Some IRS publications cover a broad range of issues, while others are very tightly focused. For example, Publication 17, “Your Federal Income Tax,” is more than 200 pages long and addresses nearly all of the common questions and situations that individual taxpayers face, while Publication 1600, “Disaster Losses,” is just a two-page sheet describing IRS assistance available to victims of natural disasters.
