October 2, 2009, Newsletter Issue #187: IRS Tax Form Instructions

Tip of the Week

With every tax form comes instructions. Published by the IRS, they are meant to provide taxpayers and tax preparers with insight into the current IRS tax law. These insights consist of tax law changes, how to properly report transactions, exceptions to the rule (there are usually these!), and what qualifies for various rules.

IRS Tax Form instructions are shorter in length than the IRS Publications, in case you wonder. The Instructions are usually found at the bottom of the applicable IRS tax or IRS informational form. Here, one will find a breakdown of what is to go on each line, and why.

IRS Instructions help taxpayers understand why the individual IRS tax form is applicable to them. It will describe what situations it applies to, what situations do not apply to it, and if it is the form for you.

In short, an IRS Tax Form Instruction is a way for you to learn about the individual IRS tax forms.

You can be assured of filing the correct income tax form by reading the IRS Instructions that apply to it. You also will learn how to correctly fill out the IRS form this way.
