How to Fax a Tax Return from iPad Air: Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Download TigerFax

    Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPad Air. It's free to start — no credit card required.

    💡 Tip: TigerFax is optimized for iPadOS 17+ and works on all iPads running iOS 15 or later.

  2. 2

    Scan your Tax Return with iPad Air

    Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPad Air about 12 inches above the Tax Return and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPad Air's 12MP rear camera produces clear document scans. For best results, use the landscape orientation and ensure the document is flat and well-lit.
