Follow these steps if you are filing Form 1040A.
1.
Place your peel-off label on your return. If you do not have a
label, print or type your name and address in the spaces provided.
2.
Enter your social security number in the spaces provided. If you
are married, enter the social security numbers of both spouses even if
you file separately.
3.
Read lines 1 through 25 and complete the lines that apply to you.
If you are filing a joint return, use the space to the left of line 25
to separately show your and your spouse's taxable income. The IRS will
complete line 26.
4.
Read lines 27 through 31, 34, and 36 through 39 and complete the
lines that apply to you. But do not complete lines 28 and 38a if you
want the IRS to figure the credits on those lines. Also, enter any
write-in information that applies to you in the space to the left of
line 40. Do not complete lines 32, 33, 35, and 40 through 45.
Payments.
Enter any federal income tax withheld that is shown in box 2 of
Form W-2, or the appropriate box of Form 1099, on line 36. Enter
any estimated tax payments you made on line 37.
Credits.
The IRS will also figure the credit for the elderly or the disabled
and the earned income credit.
- Credit for the elderly or the disabled. If you
can take this credit, the IRS will figure it for you. Attach Schedule
3 to your return and print "CFE"in the space to the left of line
28 (Form 1040A). Check the appropriate box in Part I of Schedule 3 for
your filing status and age. Complete Part II and lines 11 and 13 of
Schedule 3 if they apply.
- Earned income credit. If you can take this
credit, the IRS will figure it for you. Print "EIC" directly to
the right of line 38a. Enter the amount and type of any nontaxable
earned income on line 38b. If you have a qualifying child, you must
fill in Schedule EIC, Earned Income Credit, and attach it
to your return. If you do not provide the child's social security
number on line 2 of Schedule EIC, the credit will be reduced or
disallowed unless the child was born and died in 2000.
5.
Fill in and attach any schedules and forms asked for on the lines
you completed.
6.
Attach a copy of each of your Forms W-2 to your return. Also
attach any Form 1099-R you received that has withholding tax in
box 4.
7.
Sign and date your return and enter your occupa- tion(s). If you
are filing a joint return, both you and your spouse must sign it.
Enter your daytime phone number in the space provided in the signature
area. This may help speed the processing of your return if we have a
question that can be answered over the phone. If you are filing a
joint return, you may enter either your or your spouse's daytime phone
number.
Mail the return to the Internal Revenue Service Center for the area
where you live. A list of Service Center addresses is shown in your
tax forms package.
