What the tool accepts
- File types: JPEG, PNG or PDF.
- Size: up to 15MB per file.
- PDF length: up to 120 pages per PDF.
The tool is for answering an IRS notice or letter; tax returns are not sent through it. Check the IRS page for the current rules before you upload.
iPhone photos (HEIC)
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, which the tool does not accept. Convert them with HEIC to JPG, or put several pages into one file with JPG to PDF.
A file over 15MB
Use Compress PDF with Recommended; scanned statements and receipts usually shrink a lot and stay readable. For a large photo, Compress JPG does the same.
A PDF over 120 pages
Split it with Split PDF into parts of 120 pages or fewer and upload each part.
Many receipts
Rather than uploading dozens of separate photos, combine them into one tidy PDF with JPG to PDF or Merge PDF, in the order the letter asks for.
