IRS, California FTB, and Other Old Tax Forms

Old IRS forms can be found on the Prior Year Products Page. Most people are looking for “Form 1040” for a personal tax return, so just type “1040” in the search box and you will see all the older years popup. If it is a different form, just use the form number to find it.

Getting old tax return forms might be difficult depending on the wording you use. They are actually listed under Prior Year Forms here http://www.irs.gov/Forms-&-Pubs/Prior-Year-Forms. You can search 1040 for your basic individual income tax return, 1120 for corporate income tax, 941 for payroll tax, and 940 for unemployment tax.
