How to Fax a Tax Return from iPhone 16: Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Download TigerFax

    Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPhone 16. It's free to start — no credit card required.

    💡 Tip: TigerFax is optimized for iOS 18 and works on all iPhones running iOS 15 or later.

    Scan your Tax Return with iPhone 16

    Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPhone 16 about 12 inches above the Tax Return and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPhone 16's 48MP main camera captures document text at exceptional resolution. Use the Camera Control button on the side to trigger a scan hands-free — perfect when you need both hands to hold a document flat.

    Since Tax Returns contain sensitive information protected under IRS, add a cover page with a confidentiality notice. TigerFax includes built-in cover page templates.
