Form 6112: Order for Prior Year Tax Products

Form 6112 is an order form for prior year IRS tax products: copies of earlier years' forms and their instructions. The form says it is limited to the 5 prior years, and its grid lists tax years 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019 for Form 1040 and its schedules, Form 1040-SR and Form 2441, with write-in lines for other form numbers. Form 1040-X is listed as quantity only, current version only.

The first line asks for a "Name or Company", so a person or a business can place an order. The form has no lines for income, tax or a signature, only a mailing address, the forms wanted and quantities. It also says these and other prior year products are available online at https://www.irs.gov/prior-year-forms-and-instructions.

The completed form is mailed to the Internal Revenue Service in Bloomington, IL. You can fill out the PDF free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
