Form 1045 Application for Tentative Refund

Note: The draft you are looking for begins on the next page.

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. Do not file draft forms and do
not rely on draft forms, instructions, and publications for filing. We generally do
not release draft forms until we believe we have incorporated all changes, but
sometimes unexpected issues arise, or legislation is passed. Also, forms generally
are subject to OMB approval before they can be officially released. Drafts of
instructions and publications usually have some changes before their final release.
Early release drafts are at IRS.gov/DraftForms and may remain there even after
the final release is posted at IRS.gov/LatestForms. All information about all
forms, instructions, and pubs is at IRS.gov/Forms.
Almost every form and publication also 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) 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.
If you wish, you can submit comments about draft or final forms, instructions,
or publications at IRS.gov/FormsComments. We cannot respond to all comments
due to the high volume we receive. Please note that we may not be able to
consider many suggestions until the subsequent revision of the product.
