Know What Form I Should Use

The SEC.gov website provides a comprehensive list of forms—including EDGAR forms—with links to their PDF versions and many of the rules, regulations, and schedules associated with them. If you have any doubt or confusion over which form you should file, please consult your lawyer or federal securities law advisor.

Once you have determined which SEC form you must submit, please refer to the EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II, Section 3, Index to Forms, for the appropriate EDGAR submission types for that form.

The EDGAR Filer Manual also allows you to look up the submission type by the applicable federal statutes.
