What You Need To File Your 1040 Tax Form

The 1040 form is also know as the U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. It is the form for personal Federal income tax returns. The variations of form 1040 include 1040A, 1040EZ, and the 1040X. There are 11 attachments, which are also known as schedules, for form 1040. Common forms that you may need to file your 1040 include Form W-2 and Form 1099.

  • W-2 Tax Form
    The W-2 form is used to report wages paid to employees and the amount of taxes that were withheld from their income. Employers are required to send the W-2 form to the employee by the end of January.

  • 1099 Tax Form
    1099 tax forms are typically issued to report income to the IRS for contractors. The cutoff amount for issuing a 1099 is $600 for services. Payees then use the 1099 to report the income on their 1040.
