Through the Mail

Not every business owner prefers to download tax forms on the computer, and for this reason the IRS allows people to order tax forms which will be sent through the U.S. Postal Service to the requestor. You can request many of the commonly used tax forms through the IRS website and the forms will be sent to you through the mail within approximately a week's time. Restrictions on how many forms can be ordered at one time apply, and not all forms are available with this method. A request for IRS tax forms through the mail can also be made by calling the IRS toll-free number: 1-800-829-3676.

At Local Offices

If requesting the forms online or over the phone does not appeal to you, local IRS offices keep a variety of tax forms in stock. You can walk into a local office to obtain the forms you need. The benefit of utilizing a local office is that there are people there to answer any questions you may have, although around tax time you may encounter a long wait. You should also note that not all local offices will have personnel knowledgeable regarding the idiosyncrasies of business taxes, so it is a good idea to call the local office prior to planning a trip there and ask if there will be someone on staff available to assist you. You can find the phone number to your local IRS tax office by checking a phone directory or looking online.

You may also want to check at your local library. Many branches stock a supply of the most commonly used state and federal tax forms.

Tax Accountants

A tax preparation professional hired to prepare your taxes will have access to any IRS tax forms you need. Consequently, you will have the advantage of not having to hunt for the correct tax forms. Be sure to find out beforehand, however, if your tax professional charges extra for specific tax form preparation. Some tax preparation professionals have extra fees for preparing forms which are more complicated than others, and although this practice is certainly not unethical you should be aware of it before allowing someone else to prepare your taxes.

Conclusion

Preparing your taxes can sometimes be a headache, but finding the correct IRS tax forms doesn't need to add to your frustration. Using any of the aforementioned resources will get you the forms you need quickly.
