Many of our forms and guides are frequently updated -- sometimes every year -- because of important differences that are specific to a given year.
Most common reasons to use a previous year form or publication:
You can access a list of tax packages for all years to get the return, guide, and related forms and schedules for a previous tax year. You can also access an alphabetical list to search for other prior-year forms and publications by document name, or a numeric list to search by reference number (e.g., T2, T4).
If the form or publication for the year you need is not on the list, use the current version.
