01
Find the Correct IRS Fax Number
The IRS uses different fax numbers for different forms, departments, and regions. Always use the fax number listed on your specific IRS notice or form instructions. Faxing to the wrong number is one of the most common reasons a submission is rejected or delayed.
02
Prepare Your Tax Documents for Faxing
The IRS requires clear, readable documents. Scan your forms into a single PDF if possible and ensure the text is sharp, high-contrast, and properly oriented. Include your name, SSN (last four digits), and case or notice number exactly as the IRS instructions request.
03

Submitting your fax to the IRS takes less than a minute using the secure form included on this page.
Simply upload your PDF, enter the correct IRS fax number, and provide your email address for delivery
updates. TidyFax transmits your document automatically, monitors the fax delivery status, and notifies
