You also have the option to order federal and state tax forms, instructions and publications you need to complete your tax return online or by phone from the Internal Revenue Service and the Maine Revenue Service. Or you can use our public computers to review information on the IRS and Maine Revenue sites and print forms.

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE

Federal tax forms are available online at irs.gov. You may order tax forms, instructions and publication from the IRS website or by calling 1-800-829-3676. They will process your order and ship it by U.S. mail when the products become available.

Federal forms for individuals

Order IRS information returns (for employers/business owners)

If you are an employer or business and need to order information returns (all series of forms W-2, W-3, W-4, 1096, 1098, 1099, 3921, 5498, and other products), please visit the following page on the IRS website: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/online-ordering-for-information-returns-and-employer-returns

NOTE: Because the IRS processes paper forms by machine (optical character recognition equipment), you cannot file Form 1096 or Copy A of Forms 1097, 1098, 1099, 3921, 3922, or 5498 that you print from the IRS website.

Free File

Almost everyone can file electronically for free. The IRS Free File program, available only through IRS.gov or the IRS2Go app, offers brand-name tax preparation software packages at no cost. IRS Free File lets qualified taxpayers prepare and file federal income tax returns online using guided tax preparation software. It’s safe, easy and no cost to you. Those who don’t qualify can still use Free File Fillable Forms.

Maine IRS offices

You can get in-person help at your local IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center. Call 844-545-5640 for an appointment.

Track your refund

Taxpayers can check the status of their federal refund using the “Where’s My Refund?” tool. The status is available within 24 hours after the IRS receives their e-filed tax return or up to four weeks after they mailed a paper return. The “Where’s My Refund?” tool updates once every 24 hours, usually overnight, so taxpayers only need to check once a day.
