When will you get your 1040 booklet?

You typically receive your IRS Form 1040 booklet in the mail when you have filed your taxes in the previous year and opted to receive paper forms. The IRS usually begins mailing these booklets in January, ahead of the tax filing season. If you haven't received it by early February, you can download and print the form from the IRS website. Alternatively, you can request a copy directly from the IRS if needed.
