Substitute Forms
The IRS accepts quality substitute tax forms that are consistent with
the official forms and have no adverse impact on our processing. The
official Form 8922 is the standard for substitute forms. Because a
substitute form is a variation from the official form, you should know
the requirements of the official form for the year of use before you
create a substitute version. For details on the requirements for
substitute forms, see Pub. 1167.
