your CD-ROM would be of little use except possibly as a
lightweight paperweight. Or perhaps as a beverage glass
coaster. <g

A better idea of course would be to purchase the IRS annual
CD-ROM from NTS every year. It's cumulative in nature.

A somewhat shorter list appears in the 2004
Pub 17, page 319.

Also in 2003 1040 instructions. Another good reason to
retain leftover forms/instructions from prior years.

The Partial List of Forms Available by Fax (which also can
be ordered by telephone to arrive in the mail) and Partial
List of Publications that used to be printed near the front
of the Form 1040 instructions is gone! The only thing left
is the Teletax Topics (recorded phone messages you can
listen to)

The list of forms and publications was in numerical order,
and you could scan them to determine what are the most
commonly used forms. There would also be a brief description
of the purpose of the form or publication. Anything that
looked interesting or possibly relevant you could order.

Now, on the IRS website the list can't even printed out. The
best you can do is go a previous year's 1040 instructions -
say

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-02/i1040gi.pdf

And in that case page down to pages 10 11 and 12 of the PDF
file.
