Discontinued tax forms in continuous format - which one can I use now?

Modified on Wed, 3 Sep at 12:57 PM

2025 Update


The IRS is phasing out continuous tax forms and replacing them with laser format. For industries still using continuous forms, we have compiled a chart providing the new tax form references available in the laser format.


Using IRS-approved laser tax forms ensures compliance while providing the same reporting reliability that dot matrix printers offered, as forms are just as easily filled out with your accounting software and printed directly on standard 8½″ × 11″ sheets. Reverting to laser tax forms offers a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution to keep up with IRS changes without disrupting your operations.
