2004 Zipped forms for tax preparers

Due to reduced demand, a CD-ROM or a full version of the printed Package XM is no longer being produced by the Department of Revenue. Instead, we are offering the most commonly used forms and instructions conveniently bundled together by tax type in a compressed ("zipped") format for download. The zipped format greatly reduces download time and eliminates the need to download and save individual forms.

For instructions on how to download and unzip the forms packages, please read and print out the instructions page. No special software is required to download and unzip the forms, however, you will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software to view and print them.

If you need federal forms, the IRS is offering the 2004 Tax Products CD-ROM. It is available from the IRS web site for a reduced price of $22.00, which includes shipping and handling. You can also order it by phone for $27.00 ($22.00 plus $5.00 shipping and handling) by calling 1-877-CDFORMS (1-877-233-6767).

Tax types available
Zipped files are currently available for the following tax types and publications:

You can click on the logo or the name of the package to download. The forms included in each batch are listed under the name of the package. File sizes and approximate download times are listed for each package. Download times are estimates only and may vary depending on the speed of your modem and the quality of your connection.

For tax types not listed here such as sales tax, please see our Quick Start for Business Taxpayers section.
