Numéros de fax de l'IRS

The fax number for IRS submissions varies by region and form type. Below are the most commonly faxed forms and their designated fax lines, last checked against IRS.gov on September 7, 2026. IRS fax numbers change without much notice, so verify the number on the official form instructions the same day you send.

Numéro de fax du formulaire SS4

Use the EIN fax number that matches your situation.

  • 855-641-6935: principal business, office, or agency in any of the 50 states or DC (fax to IRS Cincinnati, OH for domestic EIN applications)
  • 855-215-1627: no legal residence or principal office in any state, faxing from inside the US
  • 304-707-9471: no legal residence or principal office in any state, faxing from outside the US

Source: IRS Instructions for Form SS-4 (irs.gov/instructions/iss4).

When faxing, include a return fax number so the IRS can send your EIN back to you. The IRS does not email your EIN, it faxes it back to the return number listed on Form SS-4, usually within about 4 business days, before the written CP 575 confirmation letter arrives by mail 2 to 3 weeks later. That only works if your fax number can receive, not just send.

No SSN or ITIN? The IRS online EIN tool only works for applicants with a US legal residence, so a non-US founder without a Social Security Number or ITIN cannot use it. Fax is the fastest route instead: file Form SS-4 with "foreign" on the responsible party's SSN/ITIN line and send it to 855-215-1627 from inside the US or 304-707-9471 from outside the US.

Form 5472

855-887-7737: Foreign-owned U.S. disregarded entities filing a pro forma Form 1120 together with Form 5472.

8886 Formulaire Fax Nombre

  1. 844-253-2553: initial-year filers only (nationwide fax number for the separate Office of Tax Shelter Analysis copy)

This number is a temporary IRS procedure, in effect since October 1, 2020 "until further notice," and it is not a general submission line, it is only for faxing the separate OTSA copy of a reportable transaction's initial year Form 8886. You must still attach the original Form 8886 to your income tax return, that filing is never done by fax. If you already mailed or faxed your OTSA copy for a transaction's initial year, do not fax a second copy in a later year. Send only one exact copy per fax, up to a maximum of 100 pages, with a cover sheet listing the subject, your name, title, phone number, address, the taxpayer's name, the date, and the total page count (no EIN or SSN on the cover sheet). The IRS does not provide a fax confirmation or receipt, so keep your own transmission log.

8918 Formulaire Fax Nombre

  1. 844-253-5607: all material advisors (toll-free number for faxing a complete, signed Form 8918)

This is a current IRS procedure for faxing Form 8918 in place of mailing it, in effect "until further notice." You must sign the form before faxing it, the IRS will not accept an unsigned copy. Send only one Form 8918 per fax, up to a maximum of 100 pages, with a cover sheet listing the subject, your name, title, phone number, and address, the material advisor's name, the date, and the total page count (no EIN or SSN on the cover sheet). The IRS does not provide a fax confirmation or receipt, so keep your own transmission log. After processing, the IRS mails a Letter 4373 with your reportable transaction number, which you must then pass on to every taxpayer and material advisor you acted for.

8655 Formulaire Fax Nombre

  1. 855-214-7523: All U.S. states and territories, fax directly to the IRS RAF Team in Ogden, UT

This is the only fax number for Form 8655, verified against the form's own filing instructions and IRS Publication 1474, with no state or regional split. Fax only to the RAF Team, faxing Form 8655 to any other IRS office does not satisfy your filing requirement. Send no more than 25 forms in a single fax, and the IRS itself recommends sending straight from your computer rather than a physical fax machine. You can also mail Form 8655 to the IRS Accounts Management Service Center, MS 6748 RAF Team, 1973 Rulon White Blvd, Ogden, UT 84404, but faxing is faster.

8806 Formulaire Fax Nombre

  1. 844-249-6232: All filers (nationwide fax number for Form 8806 submissions). The IRS has required this form to be faxed rather than mailed since a July 2022 procedural update, mailing is no longer accepted.

8023 Formulaire Fax Nombre

Form 8023 has one nationwide, toll-free fax number.

  1. 844-253-9765: All U.S. states and territories

The IRS asks that you send only one Form 8023 per fax, that the fax not exceed 100 pages, and that the form be signed before you fax it. No fax confirmation or receipt is issued, so keep your fax transmission log as proof of delivery.

2848 Formulaire Fax Nombre

Assurez-vous d'inclure une page de garde avec vos coordonnées et tous les détails nécessaires pour faciliter le traitement approprié de votre soumission.

Form 911 Fax Number

Form 911 goes to one centralized Taxpayer Advocate Service fax number for the vast majority of filers, confirmed directly on the form's own printed instructions:

855-828-2723 (domestic, all 50 states)

Two regional exceptions exist based on time zone rather than state: taxpayers in Puerto Rico and nearby time zones (GMT +6 to -4) fax to 855-818-5700, and taxpayers in Hawaii and nearby time zones (GMT +7 to -11) fax to 855-819-5024. Filing from overseas uses a separate, non-toll-free number: 304-707-9793.

Unlike some other items in this collection, Form 911 intake genuinely is centralized rather than routed by local office, so you don't need to look up your state's Taxpayer Advocate office to submit your initial request. Local TAS offices do still exist and matter later, once your case is open, your assigned advocate may ask you to send follow-up documents to their office directly, but the number above is the correct one for filing Form 911 itself.

Fax.Plus lets you send your completed Form 911 and any supporting documentation straight from a computer, phone, or email, with a timestamped delivery confirmation for your records, useful since a case can turn on when TAS received your request.

Letter 12C Fax Number

Letter 12C is the one page in this cluster where there is no single fax number to publish, and IRS.gov says so directly: "Your Letter 0012C provides a fax number, if you want to send the information by fax. Fax your information to the fax number in the notice." The number is printed on your specific letter, not on any IRS.gov page, because it depends on which IRS processing center is handling your case.

Taxpayers have reported several different numbers on their own Letter 12C notices over time, including 855-204-5020, 855-309-9361, and 844-254-2835. These are shared here for reference only, they are not published by the IRS itself, they are not guaranteed to be current, and using the wrong one risks losing your fax and delaying your refund. Always fax to the exact number printed on the letter you received, not to a number from this list or anywhere else online.

Once you have the right number, Fax.Plus lets you send your Form 8962, Form 1095-A, and your letter's own cover page from a computer, phone, or email, with a timestamped delivery confirmation for your records, useful since the IRS itself does not confirm receipt of your fax.

4506 Formulaire Fax Nombre

Form 4506 requests a full photocopy of your tax return and must be mailed to the IRS with a $30 fee per return, there is currently no IRS fax option for Form 4506 itself. Mail to the address for the state you lived in when you filed:

  1. Austin, TX (Internal Revenue Service, RAIVS Team, Stop 6716 AUSC, Austin, TX 73301): Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, a foreign country, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or an APO/FPO address
  2. Ogden, UT (Internal Revenue Service, RAIVS Team, PO Box 9941, Mail Stop 6734, Ogden, UT 84409): Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin
  3. Kansas City, MO (Internal Revenue Service, RAIVS Team, Stop 6705 S2, Kansas City, MO 64999): Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming

If you only need proof of your return's figures rather than an exact photocopy, most requesters qualify for the free Form 4506-T instead, and the IRS does accept that one by fax: 855-587-9604 (Austin), 855-298-1145 (Ogden), or 855-821-0094 (Kansas City), based on the state you lived in when you filed. Fax.Plus can send Form 4506-T to the right number directly from a computer, phone, or email, with a timestamped delivery confirmation.

8802 Formulaire Fax Nombre

  1. 877-824-9110 (within the United States only, toll-free)
  2. 304-707-9792 (inside or outside the United States, not toll-free)

Faxing is only available once you have paid the Form 8802 user fee through Pay.gov and entered your payment confirmation number on page 1, applicants paying by check or money order must mail their form instead. You can fax up to 10 Forms 8802, including all attachments, for a maximum of 100 pages per transmission, with a cover sheet stating the total page count.

866 Formulaire Fax Nombre

Form 866 does not have a single published fax number the way most forms on this site do, because it is never something you fill out and send in cold. It is finalized inside an active IRS Examination or Appeals case, and the examiner or Appeals officer handling that case prepares and submits it.

That said, the IRS's own procedures do allow you to sign and return your copy by fax. Per Internal Revenue Manual 8.13.1.3.5, once you have been in contact with your assigned IRS examiner or Appeals officer and your case file documents that contact and your request to submit your signature by fax, the IRS can accept your signed Form 866 by fax for any amount of tax. There is no general public number to list here, your caseworker gives you the correct one for your case. Fax.Plus can still send your signed agreement to that number from a computer, phone, or email, with a timestamped delivery confirmation for your records.

8233 Formulaire Fax Nombre

Form 8233 is not faxed by the nonresident alien directly. After you give the completed and signed form to your withholding agent (your employer or payer), and they sign the Part IV certification, it is the withholding agent who forwards a copy to the IRS, by mail or by fax, within 5 days of accepting it.

  1. 267-941-1365: All U.S. states and territories (withholding agent submissions only, maximum 25 pages per fax)

637 Formulaire Fax Nombre

Form 637 has one nationwide fax number, the same number applies regardless of which Activity Letter you're registering for or which state you're in.

  1. 855-887-7735: All U.S. states and territories

3115 Formulaire Fax Nombre

  1. 844-249-8134: Automatic consent procedures, fax the signed duplicate copy of Form 3115 to the IRS National Office
  2. 877-773-4950: Advance consent (non-automatic change) requests, secure fax to the IRS Chief Counsel's National Office

These are two distinct filing tracks with different rules. For automatic consent, send only one Form 3115 per fax, up to a maximum of 100 pages, no user fee required. For advance consent, a user fee is required and paid through Pay.gov, and you can also mail the request to Internal Revenue Service, Attn: CC:PA:LPD:TSS, P.O. Box 7604, Benjamin Franklin Station, Washington, DC 20044, or submit it by encrypted email. Most accounting method changes qualify for the automatic procedures.

Form 911 (Taxpayer Advocate Service)

855-828-2723: Centralized Taxpayer Advocate Service intake for Form 911.

How Long Does the IRS Take to Process a Faxed Form?

Processing time depends on the form, not on how fast your fax was delivered.

Form SS-4 (EIN)

Typically processed within a few business days.

Form 2848 & Form 8821

Usually take 3 to 5 business days.

Form 2553 (S Corp Election)

Determinations can take up to 60 days.

Form 3911 (Refund Trace)

Can take up to 30 days to resolve.

These are typical ranges, not guarantees. The IRS can take longer during peak filing season. Keep your Fax.Plus delivery confirmation as proof of when you sent the fax, in case you need to follow up.

Avantages de l'utilisation de Fax.Plus pour la télécopie des formulaires fiscaux

Tax forms carry sensitive information like your SSN or EIN, so Fax.Plus encrypts every fax in transit. One of the major benefits of using Fax.Plus for IRS and tax forms is that you can print your successful fax transmission confirmation page for future reference. This confirmation page is always available in your Faxes tab and is also emailed to you right after your fax is delivered. If you want to receive responses from the IRS by fax as well, a paid Fax.Plus plan gets you a local fax number to do that.

Foire aux questions

What is an IRS fax number?

An IRS fax number is a dedicated line that lets you send certain forms and documents directly to a specific IRS office instead of mailing them. There is no single fax number for the entire IRS: the correct number depends on the form, notice, and sometimes where you are filing from. Use the lookup tool above or check the instructions for your specific form or IRS notice, then confirm the number on IRS.gov before sending because fax numbers can change.

How do I know if an IRS fax number I found online is still valid?

Cross-check it against the number printed on your current IRS notice, the latest instructions for your specific form on IRS.gov, or the lookup tool above, which links to the relevant IRS source. Do not rely only on an old form revision, an older article, or a search result, because IRS fax numbers and routing instructions can change.

What should I include on my IRS fax cover sheet?

Follow the instructions for the specific form or IRS notice first. A fax cover sheet commonly includes the subject or form number, the sender’s name and contact information, the taxpayer’s name, the date, and the total number of pages including the cover sheet. Avoid putting sensitive information such as a Social Security number or Employer Identification Number on the cover sheet unless the IRS instructions for that specific submission explicitly require it.

What common mistakes should I avoid when faxing the IRS?

Make sure the form or document is actually eligible to be faxed and confirm the correct destination before sending. Check that every required page is included, all required signatures are present, and the document is clear and readable. Do not send duplicate copies by fax and mail unless the IRS specifically tells you to. Keep your fax transmission or delivery confirmation with your records. Forms such as Form 1040 are not normally filed by fax unless the IRS gives you case-specific instructions to do so.

Can I upload documents to the IRS instead of faxing them?

For many IRS notices and letters, yes. The IRS Document Upload Tool lets eligible taxpayers securely upload scans, photos, or PDF documents. An access code may be provided on your notice, but for supported correspondence you may also be able to select the notice or letter directly in the tool. The Document Upload Tool is for responding to eligible IRS correspondence; it should not be used to submit a tax return.

Can I use a digital signature on a form I fax to the IRS?

It depends on the form and how you submit it. For Form 2848 and Form 8821, forms submitted by fax or mail must have handwritten, wet-ink signatures. Electronic or digital signatures can be accepted when those forms are submitted through the IRS online submission process. Always check the current instructions for your specific form before signing.

Can I fax IRS forms from my phone?

Yes. With Fax.Plus, you can send an IRS fax from your phone without a physical fax machine. Open the Fax.Plus app, enter the correct IRS fax number, attach your document or scan a paper document with your phone, add a cover sheet if needed, and send. Keep the delivery confirmation with your records after the fax is transmitted.

Can I send a fax to the IRS through Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo?

Yes, if you use an email-to-fax service such as Fax.Plus. Attach the document to your email and address it using the email-to-fax format provided by Fax.Plus for the IRS fax number you need to reach. The service converts the email and attachments into a fax and sends them to the recipient’s fax line.

Does the IRS confirm receipt of a faxed document?

Generally, the IRS does not send a separate confirmation just because a fax was received. Keep your fax transmission or Fax.Plus delivery confirmation as evidence that the transmission was successfully completed. A successful fax delivery confirms transmission to the receiving fax system; it does not mean the IRS has reviewed, accepted, or processed the document.

How long does it take the IRS to process a faxed form?

Processing time depends on the form and the IRS workload. For Form SS-4, the IRS says applicants who provide a return fax number may receive their EIN by fax in about four business days, although processing backlogs can make this longer. Processing times for Forms 2848 and 8821 also change with workload, so check the IRS processing-status page for the latest estimate. A fax delivery confirmation only proves transmission; it does not mean the IRS has completed processing.

Comment puis-je demander une copie de ma déclaration de revenus par fax ?

For an actual copy of a previously filed tax return, use Form 4506. The IRS currently instructs taxpayers to mail Form 4506 with the required payment to the appropriate address; there is no standard fax filing route for Form 4506. If you only need a tax transcript rather than a full copy of the original return, Form 4506-T can be mailed or faxed to the appropriate IRS processing location. The IRS sends the resulting transcript through its approved delivery methods rather than faxing the transcript back to you.

Puis-je envoyer ma déclaration de revenus modifiée par fax ?

Generally, no. Form 1040-X can normally be filed electronically when eligible or submitted by mail. Fax is not a standard filing method for an amended return. An exception can apply when an IRS notice, examiner, or other IRS representative specifically instructs you to fax Form 1040-X or supporting documents as part of an existing case. In that situation, follow the instructions and fax number provided by the IRS.

Que dois-je faire si je dois envoyer des documents à l’IRS de toute urgence ?

Follow the submission method shown on your IRS notice or in the instructions for the form. If your notice is eligible for the IRS Document Upload Tool, the IRS describes digital upload as the fastest way to send a response. If fax is the appropriate method, verify the fax number, send the complete response, and keep your transmission confirmation. Avoid sending duplicate copies through several channels unless the IRS instructs you to do so, because duplicates can create processing delays.

Can I fax my 1040 or tax return to the IRS?

Generally, no. The IRS does not normally accept Form 1040 tax returns by fax. You should file your return electronically or use the mailing address provided in the current Form 1040 instructions. An exception may apply when an IRS examiner, an IRS letter or notice, or a Taxpayer Advocate Service case specifically instructs you to fax a return or supporting documents. In that situation, use the fax number and submission instructions provided for your case.
