About IRS previous version
What is IRS 1040?
The IRS 1040 form is used by individual taxpayers in the United States to report their annual income. This form allows taxpayers to calculate the amount of tax they owe or the refund they can expect. It is one of the most common tax forms used for individual federal income tax filing.
What is the purpose of this form?
The primary purpose of the IRS 1040 form is to provide the IRS with information about your income, deductions, and credits. This information assists in determining your overall tax liability for the year. Properly completing the form is essential for compliance with federal tax laws.
Who needs the form?
Most U.S. citizens and residents who earn income are required to file IRS 1040. If you earn above the minimum income threshold set by the IRS, you must fill out this form. Special circumstances, such as being self-employed or claiming certain credits, also necessitate its use.
When am I exempt from filling out this form?
You may be exempt from filing IRS 1040 if your income falls below the set threshold for your filing status. Additionally, certain non-residents and specific types of income, such as those not subject to U.S. taxes, may also provide grounds for exemption.
Components of the form
The IRS 1040 consists of several key components, including: personal information sections, income reporting lines, deductions and credits sections, and tax liability calculations. Each part is designed to gather accurate information which determines your tax obligations or refund eligibility.
Due date
The due date for filing IRS 1040 for the previous tax year is typically April 15th, unless it falls on a weekend or holiday. It's essential to meet this deadline to avoid penalties and interest on unpaid taxes.
What are the penalties for not issuing the form?
Failing to file IRS 1040 when required can result in penalties, which may include a failure-to-file fee and accumulated interest on unpaid taxes. The longer you wait to file, the higher the potential penalties, making timely submission important for compliance.
What information do you need when you file the form?
When filing IRS 1040, you need to gather essential information, including:
01
Your Social Security number.
02
Income statements such as W-2s and 1099s.
03
Deductions and credits documentation, such as receipts and prior tax returns.
Having this information on hand will streamline the filing process and ensure accurate reporting.
Is the form accompanied by other forms?
Yes, the IRS 1040 may require accompanying schedules or forms depending on your taxable situation. Common additional forms include Schedule A for itemized deductions and Schedule C for business income. Always check the IRS guidelines for any forms that may need to accompany your submission.
Where do I send the form?
The mailing address for IRS 1040 depends on your location and whether you are enclosing payment. Generally, the IRS provides a list of mailing addresses based on your state and tax situation on their website. Note that electronic filing is also available and may expedite processing.

Was not satisfied with the rate of $72 charged whereas I was under the impression that %65 percent would be taken from that rate.
