What the agency says

  • The IRS says on the form: “Copy A for informational purposes only. Copy A appears in red, similar to the official printed form. However, official printed versions of Copy A are scannable, but self-printed copies of Copy A from this PDF are not. Do not print and file copy A of this PDF; we may impose a penalty for filing information return forms that we can’t scan.” So the printable Copy A is for information only and cannot be filed.

  • The IRS also says: “You may download and print Copy B and other copies of this form, which appear in black, to satisfy the requirement to furnish the information to the recipient.” Those copies can be filled in here.
