Short Statement: Form 1040-C is used by aliens departing the U.S. to report income received or expected to be received for the entire tax year. Form 1040-C was revised to incorporate changes due to tax law sunset and sunrise provisions and new legislation. At the time the form and instructions went to print, Congress was considering legislation that would extend some of these items. What’s New - • Personal exemption and itemized deduction phaseouts. For 2010, taxpayers with AGI above a certain amount will not lose part of their deduction for personal exemptions and itemized deductions. Under current law, these phaseouts will resume in 2011
