What Is Form 1040?

Form 1040 is the U.S. individual income tax return. Every personal filing is built on it: wages, deductions, credits and tax due all come together on this one form.

Schedules attach to the 1040 when your situation calls for them — a business, a rental property, self-employment tax, estimated payments or a correction to a return you already filed. Each variant below explains when it applies.
