subject: 2010 Free Federal Income Tax Form 1040 And 1040a [print this page] The Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, is the starting form for personal (individual) Federal income tax return filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States. The first Form 1040 was published for use for the tax years 1913, 1914, and 1915. Beginning with the tax year 1916, Form 1040 was converted to an annual form (i.e., updated each tax year with the new year printed on the form)
Any full-time resident individual U.S. income taxpayer can use the standard Form 1040 (often referred to as the long form to distinguish it from the other 1040 variants). Those with uncomplicated tax situations (for example, no itemized deductions, no capital gain or loss, etc.) may be able to use the simplified Form 1040A (the short form) or the even simpler Form 1040EZ (the easy form) instead of Form 1040. Official IRS printed Forms 1040 are blue, Forms 1040A pink, and Forms 1040EZ green. An annual rite of passage in the past had been the arrival of a Form 1040 income tax booklet in the mail around the end of the year. However, that is no longer true. The IRS last mailed such tax booklets for 2009. There will be no such mailings for 2010 or later years. The official printed versions are available from 401 IRS walk-in taxpayer assistance centers or from participating libraries and post offices. All IRS forms and other tax products are also first available on IRS.gov, and an order can be placed on IRS.gov to have forms and other products mailed to you.
The tax return transcript to show line items from each of the three types of forms for filing a federal return. You are the 1040 EZ, 1040A and tax Form 1040. Normally, the tax return transcript would be sufficient if you need proof to apply for a bank loan.
The first federal income tax brackets came into affect in the United States back in nineteen thirteen, when the income tax became a permanent fixture in our government. The initial tax brackets, although very simple and low, was not unlike our current set of tax brackets. The initial rates ranged from 1%-7% and were applied to incomes from 0$ to $500,000 plus. It wasnt until the 1940s until we saw the first unique tax bracket created for single filers and those married filing separately.
