>From the IRS this afternoon, finally.  Please note there will be no instructions in the package.
TFOP Filing Season Update While we had committed to waiting until next year to making changes to the Tax Forms Outlet Program, the situation has changed.  As you may be aware, IRS appropriations were significantly cut in the 2015 Omnibus Appropriations bill recently passed by Congress.  Unfortunately this puts us in a position where we have very few options.  We want to honor our commitment to you by providing some key products, but we cannot deliver nearly what we have in the past. For this filing season, we will offer the following products:Forms 1040, 1040A and 1040EZPublication 17, one reference copy for each participant (Taxpayers will be able to access Publication 17 in English and Spanish online from irs.gov/Pub17 and, new this year, it will also be available as a free e-Pub for downloading from IRS.gov and viewing on most e-Readers and other mobile devices.)Publication 4604 (EN/SP), Use the Web for IRS Tax Products & InformationPublication 1132, Reproducible Copies of Federal Tax Forms and InstructionsThe TFOP Poster Package which includes:o  Publication 1169, Need Tax Help?o  Publication 1258, Where Should I Send This?o  Publication 1309, Tax Forms This Way Publicationo  Publication 1725, If The Form Fits...Use It! No additional products will be available through the TFOP Program. We will not be sending Form 8635-S, Supplement to Form 8635. We will fill orders for Forms 1040 and 1040A with the quantities you requested on your order form earlier this year.  Because Form 1040EZ was not on this year's order form, we will send you 75% of your Form 1040 A order quantity. For example, if you ordered 3000 Form 1040 A, we will send you 2250 Form 1040EZ.  It is not necessary for you to place an order for Form 1040EZ; we will automatically ship Form 1040EZ to you once the form becomes available. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer Instructions for Forms 1040, 1040A and 1040EZ. Your patrons can obtain copies of Instructions through:IRS.gov/Forms - to view and downloadIRS.gov/orderforms - to order tax products to be delivered by mail1-800-829-3676 - to order tax products to be delivered by mailThe decision to reduce the number of tax products available to our TFOP partners was not made lightly.  We realize this decision is not ideal and we understand it may impact you and your customers. Please offer Publication 4604 (EN/SP) to your patrons to help guide them to tax products and information available on IRS.gov. We apologize for these late program changes. Thank you for your support,IRS TFOP Administrator
