    Informational returns are forms and documents sent to the IRS as a means of giving the IRS information (only) such as a copy of Form 1099-MISC or a copy of someone's W-2.  It could also include Form 941 reporting tax withholding for employees. 

    The IRS will match some "informational returns" to taxpayer's tax returns and make sure they are being declared.
