For the past five years I have not received an IRS tax booklet. I used to receive it every year before that. It contained forms, instructions, and return envelopes. I have continued to get the booklet from my state, just not the federal one. I called the IRS about this last year, and they said I would be getting it, that I must have misplaced the previous onees. But I am very careful in separating and organizing my tax mail. I watched very closely, but still have not received the booklet. I have not moved in 15 years. They said I could not be off their mailing list and there is nothing more they can do. Asking friends, it seems that some are still getting their booklets, while others do not think they are. I found that booklet useful because I fillout my return by hand and mail it. Without it, I have to get forms from a library, but they do not have the envelopes or mailing address. Coincidently, I tried turbo-tax one year, the year before I stopped getting the booklet. I submitted the forms printed by turbo-tax that year. Is this really a coincidence, or is IRS trying to spare forms from computer filers? Is this a known issue. Anyone else not getting forms? Any correlation to e-filers, etc? Anything I can do? Thanks, Skeet
