That second-to-last row matters more than it looks. Several pages on this site list fax numbers that government agencies publish — the IRS numbers are the first set. We are not the IRS, we do not file anything for you, and we cannot tell you whether an agency accepted what you sent. We can tell you that a receiving fax system answered and acknowledged your pages, because that is the one thing the fax network actually reports.

Fax is 1990s technology. Billions of them still get sent every year. That is probably why you are here: a hospital, a court, a landlord or a federal agency asked for one, and the request is not negotiable on your end. The IRS alone publishes a fax number for every form it accepts that way, which is why we keep a page of them.

So the requirement is real, and the ways to satisfy it are bad. Either you sign up for a monthly plan to send one document, and then remember to cancel it — or you use a site that has not been redesigned since faxing was normal, and hand a tax return to it hoping for the best. Both ask you to take on an ongoing relationship with a company you wanted nothing from except one transmission.

Point and shoot is the whole idea. Upload the document, see exactly the pages that will be transmitted, enter the number, pay once, close the tab. As long as faxes exist, they should be as delightful as everything else we take for granted.

One address — support@faxmydoc.com — answered by a person within one business day and usually sooner. There is no support queue, no chat widget and nothing to escalate. The company is small enough that the person who reads your email is the person who can go look at what happened to your fax.

Worth writing to us about:

• —A fax that failed, or one you are not sure went through
• —A transmission record you need again after the document is gone
• —A fax number on one of our guide pages that looks wrong or has moved
• —Anything about a charge on your card statement

The third one we treat as a bug report. Each published number carries the agency source it came from and the date a person last read that source, and the IRS page explains how it gets rechecked in full. If you find one that has changed, tell us and it gets corrected and re-dated. Help answers the questions that come up most often, and Security says what we hold and for how long.
