I know they don't send them to anyone who filed electronically.

The specific answer to your last question, "if you used a professional who filed paper ..." is that the very fact you've used a professional suggests you will do so again for your next return. Since the professional has access to all necessary forms, the IRS saves money by not bothering to send you _anything_ which you might need to file. (In a sense, it can be seen as professional courtesy: i.e., the IRS doesn't want to seem to be "poaching" by suggesting you could have a direct relationship with them, since you have already demonstrated you have a business arrangement with someone else -- and especially since that someone is generally acting as an _agent_ in support of the IRS.)

Wait a minute. I surely don't consider myself "an _agent_ in support of the IRS". I am an advocate for my client, within the boundaries of the law. My client pays me, not the IRS. My client expects me to do what's right by them, meaning that they expect me to keep their tax bill as low as possible given the law and the information they provide to me. As far as the IRS not sending forms to taxpayer who use a professional tax preparer, I would think that in addition to the cost savings, it reduces much confusion on the part of the taxpayer who gets these blank forms and calls 1) the IRS, 2) the tax preparer or most likely 3) both. -- Paul A.

Indeed, I agree as to your function and your allegiance. But (and maybe I should have added this) _in the mind of the IRS_, you are "generally" acting as an _agent_, since you assist taxpayers in complying with filing requirements. FWIW, I'm a volunteer preparer with TaxAide, and I certainly feel my commitment is to assist the folks who come to me for help, but I also know the IRS considers all TaxAide people as "instruments of their purpose" to ensure full and faithful compliance with their regulations. I know that, because IRS instructors have stated as much. That's why they support us with training and materials.
