Revised Form 8950

[TPA Bob]

Looking at filing Form 8950 for a client - the instructions are revised January 2019 but on the IRS website the Form 8950 itself is has a revised date of November 2017.  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

The revised 2019 Form 8950 is only available via pay.gov for electronic filing.  See the below article which contains a link to a copy of the revised form for reference. You have the option to file in paper form before April 1, 2019 so if you choose to make a paper filing, you will use the prior Form 8950 (Rev. November 2017) and include the check with Form 8951 (Rev. September 2016) per the Note in the How To File section of the 2019 form’s instructions.
