Caution: The form, instruction, or publication
you are looking for begins on the next page. But first
see the important information below.
This 2018 form, instruction, or publication is being revised to reflect legislation
enacted December 20, 2019. The updated revision will be posted here as soon as
possible with a February or March 2020 revision date added to it. The most
recently issued final revision that will soon be replaced begins on the next page.
Several provisions that had expired or did not apply for 2018, particularly those
related to disasters, now apply for 2018 due to the December legislation. You may
therefore want to amend your 2018 return. You may want to wait until after 2019

information, see IRS.gov/Extenders, IRS.gov/FormsUpdates, and IRS.gov/Forms
.

upcoming 2018 updated revisions, are posted before the final release at IRS.gov/

recently issued final revision of forms, instructions, and publications is posted at
IRS.gov/LatestForms, and at IRS.gov/AllForms
, which has revisions for all years
each form, instruction, or pub has been issued.
