## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability irs-form-instruction-version-check-1fe3ae7a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether the IRS instructions for Form 1099-NEC are on their latest edition for tax year 2024, and flag any changes relevant to IRIS migration?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs to programmatically confirm that IRS form instructions are current before tax filing, automate pre-filing compliance checks, or assess FIRE-to-IRIS migration readiness. It is specifically suited for tax compliance workflows that require authoritative version confirmation rather than general IRS document search.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported IRS form identifier returns an error
- IRS source unavailable or rate-limited causes lookup failure
- Invalid tax year outside supported range returns validation error
- Form has no dedicated instruction document and returns a not-found result
- Payment not confirmed results in PAYMENT-REQUIRED response

## How this service works

Thirteen machine-payable services for public URL observations/assertions, website release and agent metadata checks, x402 preflight, PDF citations, IRS form editions and FIRE/IRIS migration, redacted 1099 readiness, year-end close checklists, tax-year source diffs, ledger/1099-K reconciliation, and submitted-text agent/MCP release security review. Exact input/output schemas, examples, prices, billing rules and durable replay semantics support agent selection. Runtime PAYMENT-REQUIRED remains authoritative.

## Output

Returns the current authoritative edition and version of the specified IRS form's instructions, along with flags indicating whether the version is current, any differences from prior editions, and relevance to FIRE/IRIS migration requirements for the given tax year.
