IRS Publications


Small Business Taxes & Management--Copyright 2022, A/N Group, Inc.

Introduction

We've compiled a list of the most popular IRS publications. IRS publications frequently contain a wealth of information. We've broken the list down into three categories -- Personal, Health Care and Business. There are actually many more IRS publications than those listed here; by deleting the more arcane ones we've made the list more usable. You can also use the find feature in your browser to search the list. There is often some overlap. For example, the publication on depreciation can be useful for both businesses and individuals. We list the publication only once, so check the entire page. After you've located the publication you want, click on the title for a direct link to the publication on the IRS page. You'll need Adobe Acrobat to read the file. For the complete list of publications available, go to the IRS site, IRS Forms and Publications. Three more points. First, be sure to check publication dates carefully. Many are revised annually; some only infrequently. Many revisions occur after a major tax law change or near the end of the year or early in the new year. The link below should take you to the current, published document. For example, many publications have a 2019 date and are intended for 2019 returns. When the update is published the link below will take you to the latest publication. Most publications also contain a publication date. That's usually on the bottom of the cover page. For example, Publication 503, Child and Dependent Care Expenses (For use in preparing 2019 Returns) was released January 30, 2020. Second, many of the most popular publications are also available in Spanish and some are available in other languages. Third, draft copies of publications can be found at IRS Draft Forms.
