<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt">TFOP Filing
Season Update</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt">While we had
committed to waiting until next year to making changes to
the Tax Forms Outlet Program, the situation has changed.
As you may be aware, IRS appropriations were significantly
cut in the 2015 Omnibus Appropriations bill recently
passed by Congress. Unfortunately this puts us in a
position where we have very few options. We want to honor
our commitment to you by providing some key products, but
we cannot deliver nearly what we have in the past.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;margin-bottom:0in">For this filing
season, we will offer the following products:</div>
<span style="font:11.0pt "Calibri"">
<ul style="margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in">
<li style="margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in">Forms
1040, 1040A and 1040EZ</li>
<li>Publication 17, one reference copy for each
participant (Taxpayers will be able to access
Publication 17 in English and Spanish online from <a href="http://irs.gov/Pub17" target="_blank">irs.gov/Pub17</a> and,
new this year, it will also be available as a free
e-Pub for downloading from <a href="http://IRS.gov" target="_blank">IRS.gov</a>
and viewing on most e-Readers and other mobile
devices.)</li>
<li>Publication 4604 (EN/SP), Use the Web for IRS Tax
Products & Information</li>
<li>Publication 1132, Reproducible Copies of Federal Tax
Forms and Instructions</li>
<li style="margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in">The TFOP
Poster Package which includes:</li>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt">No additional
products will be available through the TFOP Program. We
will not be sending Form 8635-S, Supplement to Form 8635.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt">We will fill
orders for Forms 1040 and 1040A with the quantities you
requested on your order form earlier this year. Because
Form 1040EZ was not on this year's order form, we will
send you 75% of your Form 1040 A order quantity. For
example, if you ordered 3000 Form 1040 A, we will send you
2250 Form 1040EZ. It is not necessary for you to place an
order for Form 1040EZ; we will automatically ship Form
1040EZ to you once the form becomes available.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:normal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:normal">Unfortunately,
we are unable to offer Instructions for Forms 1040, 1040A
and 1040EZ. Your patrons can obtain copies of Instructions
through:</div>

delivered by mail</li>
</ul>
</span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt">The decision
to reduce the number of tax products available to our TFOP
partners was not made lightly. We realize this decision
is not ideal and we understand it may impact you and your
customers. Please offer Publication 4604 (EN/SP) to your
patrons to help guide them to tax products and information
available on <a href="http://IRS.gov" target="_blank">IRS.gov</a>. We
apologize for these late program changes. </div>
