#1. How do I get a blank Form 8813?
You can get a blank Form 8813 from pdf.net or the official IRS website, both of which can easily be opened in our PDF editor. Then, type directly into the document to complete it.
#2. Can I submit Form 8813 electronically?
No, you can’t submit Form 8813 electronically; however, you can make payments using the official electronic system. If you choose to do so, you don’t need to file this form.
#3. What if my Form 8813 is missing information?
If your Form 8813 is missing information, your payment may not be processed correctly, so you need to supply it as soon as possible. Submit a new form and indicate in the margins that it’s an amended one, or contact the IRS for guidance. Ideally, though, you should use a Form 8813 example as guidance when completing yours.
#4. Can I fill out my Form 8813 online?
You can fill out your Form 8813 online with our PDF editor, but you need to download it to your device and prepare for printing, as you can’t submit it electronically.
#5. Is this form free?
Our IRS Form 8813 is free to view and edit, but you can’t download it without a subscription plan.
#6. Can I correct mistakes on Form 8813?
You can correct mistakes on Form 8813 by sending an amended voucher, but this may not always be necessary. If you’ve underpaid or overpaid your taxes, you can reconcile these issues in the annual Form 8804. Send a new voucher only if other information, like your EIN, isn’t correct.
#7. How long does it take to process Form 8813?
There’s no specific processing time for Form 8813. If you mail your payment with the voucher, processing time can vary. For faster, more reliable processing, the IRS recommends submitting payments electronically through EFTPS, which typically processes within 24–48 hours.
