Note that the IRS does not revise every IRS tax form every year. All major IRS tax forms, such as the 1040 series, are revised annually, but the form that are less frequently used, and which are not impacted by yearly tax law changes, are revised only when necessary.

Forms revised annually will have the year shown in the upper right hand corner of the form, and forms revised periodically will have their revision date shown underneath the form number in the upper left hand corner of the form. The current revision date is shown with each form listing. Revision dates are shown either by the tax year or by the month and year they are revised.
