The free Form 8822 filler

Answer plain-English questions and watch the official IRS Form 8822 fill itself in, live. Sign on your screen, download the finished PDF free, and we’ll show you the exact IRS address for your state. No account. No payment to download.

What you get, free

• Guided questions in the right order — including the joint-return and separate-residence rules most people miss.
• A live preview of the real form (Rev. February 2021) as you type — what you see is exactly what prints.
• Your signature drawn (or typed) on screen, placed on the signature line, dated.
• The finished PDF, both pages, ready to print — plus the correct IRS mailing address for your old state and counter tips.

Why free?

Because the form itself is free and we won’t pretend otherwise. Our paid service is the errand: printing, the envelope, and the trip to the post office. We mail your signed form first-class for $9.99, or by USPS Certified Mail with tracking and proof for $14.99 — one time, only if you want it. Plenty of people download free and mail it themselves; the form doesn’t care.

Your SSN stays on your device

The form needs your SSN, so the filler asks for it last — and it never leaves your browser unless you order mailing (it rides inside the PDF, nowhere else). No analytics see it, nothing stores it, refresh wipes it. The full security story, including how to verify that claim yourself with your browser’s network tab.
