TFOP Participants Should Not Unload Shipments

Due to concerns for personal safety and liability, TFOP participants should not unload delivery vehicles or physically assist the drivers. Delivery and unloading are basic carrier functions for which the IRS pays, as well as any additional services as required.

If the driver suggests there is an additional fee for "inside delivery" or "lift-gate delivery" or some other service, TFOP participants may sign the freight receipt and write "inside delivery service authorized" or "lift-gate delivery service authorized".

IRS will pay for authorized services and handle any issues relating to the validity of additional charges during the payment cycle. If the driver refuses to provide authorized services, contact IRS Postal & Transport Policy immediately at (972) 308-1886 or (309) 556-5077.

Do Not Order if Location Will Close

If your location will close prior to March 1, 2012, please do not place an order. This will reduce potential return/undeliverable shipments and waste of forms and publications. Many tax forms and publications are shipped mid-January through mid-February.

If your location needs 2011 tax products, please only order minimal quantities (example: of up to 50 items), or order one of the Reproducible publications.

  and Instructions
