If you’ve ever filed a federal income tax return, chances are you used IRS Form 1040. This is the standard form used by most people to file a personal income tax return, report the income they received during the year, and figure out how much of that income is taxable after claiming tax deductions and credits.
Depending on the type of income, deductions, and credits you claim, completing Form 1040 may be simple or complicated. This overview will guide you through the basics of filling out the form.
