What this site is
DocZap offers free PDF tools that run in your browser, a library of blank government forms you can fill in privately, and guides that explain the tools and the forms. The guides exist to help you finish a task: merge a file, understand a box on a form, avoid a common mistake.
What we are not
- DocZap is not a government agency and is not affiliated with the IRS, the Social Security Administration, the U.S. Department of State, or any other agency whose forms appear here.
- Nothing here is tax, legal, financial or immigration advice. A guide describes how a form generally works; it cannot know your circumstances.
- We are not a tax preparer and do not file anything for you. You download your own copy and submit it yourself.
Where the information comes from
Guides about forms are written from the issuing agency's own pages and form instructions. Each one ends with a list of the sources it was written from, so you can read the original. When a figure, a deadline or an eligibility rule changes from year to year, we point you to the agency page instead of printing a number that might be out of date.
The forms library
The blank PDFs in our forms library are the files published by the agencies, shown with the version (revision) printed on them. U.S. federal government forms are works of the government. We host a copy so you can fill it in without uploading it anywhere. Before you submit a form, check the agency's own forms page for a newer version. Each form page links to it.
Tool pages and technical guides
Descriptions of how a tool works are based on how it actually runs. If a tool is unavailable, or works differently from what you would expect, the page says so. Our privacy claims can be checked yourself with the steps on the verify page.
Advertising and independence
DocZap is supported by advertising from Google AdSense. Ads are placed by Google and do not influence what we write. We do not accept payment to feature a product or a form, and we do not write sponsored content. Read more in our privacy policy.
Corrections and updates
If you find a mistake or something out of date, tell us. Report it by email with the page address and what is wrong, and we will check it against the agency's source and fix it. Meaningful changes to the site are listed on the changelog.
