Questions

Hey, these look a lot like [INSERT FAVORITE TAX FORM]...

Yes! It was entirely my intention to reproduce the style of certain IRS Tax Forms. In particular, I took a lot of inspiration from the following:

• IRS Form 56-F, Rev. December 2022
• IRS Form 433-A, Rev. July 2022 (table support eventually™!)
• IRS Form 461, Rev. February 2025

Please, do not create forms purporting to be published by the IRS. The IRS performs a public service, and taxes can be difficult enough to navigate without fake forms floating about.

(My favorite form is Form 172, Rev. December 2024; in particular, Part I. What is even going on here? I must know how this was determined to be the best representation.)
