IRS Fax Number for Individual Tax Returns — Send Your Forms Now
The IRS won't take an original Form 1040 by fax, but plenty of individual tax documents do move that way once you know which line to use. Amended returns on Form 1040-X, transcript requests on Form 4506-T, identity theft affidavits on Form 14039, installment requests on Form 9465, and Power of Attorney on Form 2848 each route to their own fax number. Because the destination depends on the form, confirm the current number on IRS.gov for whichever document you're sending before you transmit.
