Form 1040EZ (2011)

Use this form
if

• Your filing status is single or married filing jointly. If you are not sure about your filing status, see instructions.
• You (and your spouse if married filing jointly) were under age 65 and not blind at the end of 2011. If you were born on
January 1, 1947, you are considered to be age 65 at the end of 2011.
• You do not claim any dependents. For information on dependents, see Pub. 501.
• Your taxable income (line 6) is less than $100,000.
• You do not claim any adjustments to income. For information on adjustments to income, use TeleTax topics 451–453 and
455–458 (see instructions).
• The only tax credit you can claim is the earned income credit (EIC). The credit may give you a refund even if you do not owe
any tax. You do not need a qualifying child to claim the EIC. For information on credits, use TeleTax topics 601, 602, 607,
608, 610, 611, and 612 (see instructions).
• You had only wages, salaries, tips, taxable scholarship or fellowship grants, unemployment compensation, or Alaska
Permanent Fund dividends, and your taxable interest was not over $1,500. But if you earned tips, including allocated tips, that
are not included in box 5 and box 7 of your Form W-2, you may not be able to use Form 1040EZ (see instructions). If you are
planning to use Form 1040EZ for a child who received Alaska Permanent Fund dividends, see instructions.

Filling in your
return

If you received a scholarship or fellowship grant or tax-exempt interest income, such as on municipal bonds, see the
instructions before filling in the form. Also, see the instructions if you received a Form 1099-INT showing federal income tax
withheld or if federal income tax was withheld from your unemployment compensation or Alaska Permanent Fund dividends.

For tips on
how to avoid
common
mistakes, see
instructions.

Remember, you must report all wages, salaries, and tips even if you do not get a Form W-2 from your employer. You must also
report all your taxable interest, including interest from banks, savings and loans, credit unions, etc., even if you do not get a
Form 1099-INT.
