They have always been filed with IRS, not Social Security.  IRS has always required that paper forms use the special red ink needed by 1970s scanners.  You can buy them at office-supply stores, or IRS will send them for free when their forms distribution system is open, which is not now.  You might ask @Just-Lisa-Now- , she probably has some extras to share.  😎
