Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING
This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or publication,
which the IRS is providing for your information as a courtesy. Do not file
draft forms. Also, do not rely on draft instructions and publications for
filing. We generally do not release drafts of forms until we believe we have
incorporated all changes. However, unexpected issues sometimes arise, or
legislation is passed, necessitating a change to a draft form. In addition,
forms generally are subject to OMB approval before they can be officially
released. Drafts of instructions and publications usually have at least some
changes before being officially released.
Early releases of draft forms and instructions are at IRS.gov/draftforms.
Please note that drafts may remain on IRS.gov even after the final release is
posted at IRS.gov/downloadforms, and thus may not be removed until there
is a new draft for the subsequent revision. All information about all revisions
of all forms, instructions, and publications is at IRS.gov/formspubs.
Almost every form and publication also has its own easily accessible
information page on IRS.gov. For example, the Form 1040 page is at
IRS.gov/form1040; the Form W-2 page is at IRS.gov/w2; the Publication 17
page is at IRS.gov/pub17; the Form W-4 page is at IRS.gov/w4; the Form
8863 page is at IRS.gov/form8863; and the Schedule A (Form 1040) page is
at IRS.gov/schedulea. If typing in the links above instead of clicking on
them: type the link into the address bar of your browser, not in a Search box;
the text after the slash must be lowercase; and your browser may require the
link to begin with “www.”. Note that these are shortcut links that will
automatically go to the actual link for the page.
If you wish, you can submit comments about draft or final forms,
instructions, or publications on the Comment on Tax Forms and Publications
page on IRS.gov. We cannot respond to all comments due to the high
volume we receive, but we will carefully consider each one. Please note that
we may not be able to consider many suggestions until the subsequent
revision of the product.
