Form 1040: "U.S. Individual Tax Return" is an IRS form used to calculate and file annual federal income tax returns by individual taxpayers.
The form consists of various sections that help taxpayers calculate their Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), report taxable income, and claim deductions and tax credits.
These amounts and calculations determine either how much tax will be refunded to the individual or is due to be paid to the U.S. government.
Taxpayers can attach also numerous schedules to their 1040 to report additional needed information and modifications such as profits or losses from a business or self-employment taxes.
The standard Form 1040 comes in numerous variations depending on specific taxpayer needs.
