The Taxpayer Advocate Service Is Here To Help You
What is the Taxpayer Advocate Service?
The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is your voice at the IRS. As an independent organization within the IRS, our job is to
ensure that every taxpayer is treated fairly and that you know and understand your rights.
What can TAS do for you?
We can offer you free help with IRS problems that you can’t resolve on your own. We know the tax process can be confusing,
but the worst thing you can do is nothing at all! TAS can help if you can’t resolve your tax problem and:
Your problem is causing financial difficulties for you, your family, or your business.
You face (or your business is facing) an immediate threat of adverse action.
You’ve tried repeatedly to contact the IRS but no one has responded, or the IRS hasn’t responded by the date promised.
If you qualify for our help, you'll be assigned to one advocate who’ll be with you at every turn and will do everything possible to
resolve your problem.
TAS is an independent organization within the IRS. Our advocates know how to work with the IRS to get your problems
resolved.
Our services are free and tailored to meet your needs.
We have offices in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
Our online tax toolkit can help you understand your rights and options in dealing with the IRS. Go to
www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Tax-Help.
How can you reach us?
If you think TAS can help you, call your local advocate, whose number is in your phone book and on our website at www.irs.gov/
advocate. You can also call us toll-free at 1-877-777-4778.
How else does TAS help taxpayers?
TAS also works to resolve large-scale, systemic problems that affect many taxpayers. If you know of one of these broad issues,
please report it to us through our Systemic Advocacy Management System at www.irs.gov/sams.
Low Income Taxpayer Clinics Help Taxpayers
Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs) are independent from the IRS. Some serve individuals whose income is below a certain
level and who need to resolve a tax problem. These clinics provide professional representation before the IRS or in court on
audits, appeals, tax collection disputes, and other issues for free or for a small fee. Some clinics provide information about
taxpayer rights and responsibilities in many different languages for individuals who speak English as a second language. For
more information, and to find a clinic near you, read the LITC page on www.irs.gov/litc or IRS Publication 4134, Low Income
Taxpayer Clinic List. You can also get this publication at your local IRS office or by calling 1-800-829-3676.

Suggestions for Improving the IRS
Taxpayer Advocacy Panel
Have a suggestion for improving the IRS and do not know who to contact? The Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP) is a diverse
group of citizen volunteers who listen to taxpayers, identify taxpayers’ issues, and make suggestions for improving IRS service
and customer satisfaction. The panel is demographically and geographically diverse, with at least one member from each state,
the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Contact TAP at www.improveirs.org or 1-888-912-1227 (toll-free).

filing separately filing status on your 2013 return, even if you
and your spouse now live in a state (or foreign country) that
does not recognize same-sex marriage. See Filing Status, later.

CAUTION

Form 1040NR-EZ. Pub. 519 discusses these requirements and
other information to help aliens comply with U.S. tax law.

!

Use Chart A, B, or C to see if you must file a return.

Forces in a designated combat zone or contingency operation,
you may be able to file later. See Pub. 3 for details.

the end of 2013 or was a full-time student under age 24 at the
end of 2013. To do so, use Form 1040 and Form 8814. If you

What If You Cannot File on Time?
You can get an automatic 6-month extension if, no later than
the date your return is due, you file Form 4868. For details, see
Form 4868.
An automatic 6-month extension to file does not extend the time to pay your tax. If you do not pay your
CAUTION

end of 2013.

the tax, but interest will be charged from the original due date
of the return on any unpaid tax. You must include a statement
showing that you meet the requirements. If you are still unable
to file your return by the end of the 2-month period, you can
get an additional 4 months if, no later than June 16, 2014, you

You must file a return for 2013 if you owe tax from the recapture of an education credit or the alternative minimum tax. See the instructions for

You must file a return using Form 1040 if any of the following apply for 2013.

paid for state and local income or sales taxes, real estate taxes, personal property taxes, mortgage interest, and disaster losses. You
may also include gifts to charity and part of the amount you paid for medical and dental expenses. You would usually benefit by
itemizing if—

otherwise noted.

Enter your box number only if your post office does not deliver
mail to your home.

Name and Address

Foreign address

Print or type the information in the spaces provided. If you are
married filing a separate return, enter your spouse’s name on
line 3 instead of below your name.
If you filed a joint return for 2012 and you are filing
a joint return for 2013 with the same spouse, be sure
to enter your names and SSNs in the same order as on
your 2012 return.

TIP

Name change
If you changed your name because of marriage, divorce, etc.,
be sure to report the change to your local Social Security Administration (SSA) office before filing your return. This prevents delays in processing your return and issuing refunds. It
also safeguards your future social security benefits.

Address change
If you plan to move after filing your return, use Form 8822 to
notify the IRS of your new address.

If you have a foreign address, enter the city name on the appropriate line. Do not enter any other information on that line, but
also complete the spaces below that line. Do not abbreviate the
country name. Follow the country's practice for entering the
postal code and the name of the province, county, or state.

Death of a taxpayer
See Death of a taxpayer under General Information, later.

Social Security Number (SSN)
An incorrect or missing SSN can increase your tax, reduce
your refund, or delay your refund. To apply for an SSN, fill in
Form SS-5 and return it, along with the appropriate evidence
documents, to the Social Security Administration (SSA). You
can get Form SS-5 online at www.socialsecurity.gov, from your
local SSA office, or by calling the SSA at 1-800-772-1213. It
usually takes about 2 weeks to get an SSN once the SSA has all
the evidence and information it needs.

2013 Form 1040A—Lines 1 and 2
Check that both the name and SSN on your Forms 1040A,
W-2, and 1099 agree with your social security card. If they do
not, certain deductions and credits on your Form 1040A may
be reduced or disallowed and you may not receive credit for
your social security earnings. If your Form W-2 shows an incorrect SSN or name, notify your employer or the form-issuing
agent as soon as possible to make sure your earnings are credited to your social security record. If the name or SSN on your
social security card is incorrect, call the SSA.

(or foreign country) in which they now live does not recognize
same-sex marriage. The term “spouse” includes an individual
married to a person of the same sex if the couple is lawfully
married under state (or foreign) law. However, individuals who
have entered into a registered domestic partnership, civil union,
or other similar relationship that is not considered a marriage
under state (or foreign) law are not considered married for federal tax purposes. For more details, see Pub. 501.

IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification
Numbers (ITINs) for aliens

TIP

If you are a nonresident or resident alien and you do not have
and are not eligible to get an SSN, you must apply for an ITIN.
For details on how to do so, see Form W-7 and its instructions.
It takes 6 to 10 weeks to get an ITIN.
If you already have an ITIN, enter it wherever your SSN is
requested on your tax return.
Note. An ITIN is for tax use only. It does not entitle you to
social security benefits or change your employment or immigration status under U.S. law.

Nonresident alien spouse
If your spouse is a nonresident alien, he or she must have either
an SSN or an ITIN if:
You file a joint return,
You file a separate return and claim an exemption for
your spouse, or
Your spouse is filing a separate return.

Presidential Election Campaign
Fund
This fund helps pay for Presidential election campaigns. The
fund reduces candidates' dependence on large contributions
from individuals and groups and places candidates on an equal
financial footing in the general election. If you want $3 to go to
this fund, check the box. If you are filing a joint return, your
spouse can also have $3 go to the fund. If you check a box,
your tax or refund will not change.

Filing Status
Check only the filing status that applies to you. The ones that
will usually give you the lowest tax are listed last.
Married filing separately.
Single.
Head of household.
Married filing jointly or qualifying widow(er) with dependent child.
Same-sex marriage. For federal tax purposes, individuals of
the same sex are considered married if they were lawfully married in a state (or foreign country) whose laws authorize the
marriage of two individuals of the same sex, even if the state

Need more information or forms? Visit IRS.gov.

More than one filing status can apply to you. You can
choose the one that will give you the lowest tax.

Line 1
Single
You can check the box on line 1 if any of the following was
true on December 31, 2013.
You were never married.
You were legally separated according to your state law
under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance. But if, at
the end of 2013, your divorce was not final (an interlocutory
decree), you are considered married and cannot check the box
on line 1.
You were widowed before January 1, 2013, and did not
remarry before the end of 2013. But, if you have a dependent
child, you may be able to use the qualifying widow(er) filing
status. See the instructions for line 5.

Line 2
Married Filing Jointly
You can check the box on line 2 if any of the following apply.
You were married at the end of 2013, even if you did not
live with your spouse at the end of 2013.
Your spouse died in 2013 and you did not remarry in
2013.
You were married at the end of 2013, and your spouse
died in 2014 before filing a 2013 return.
A married couple filing jointly report their combined income and deduct their combined allowable expenses on one return. They can file a joint return even if only one had income or
if they did not live together all year. However, both persons
must sign the return. Once you file a joint return, you cannot
choose to file separate returns for that year after the due date of
the return.
Joint and several tax liability. If you file a joint return, both
you and your spouse are generally responsible for the tax and
any interest or penalties due on the return. This means that if
one spouse does not pay the tax due, the other may have to. Or,
if one spouse does not report the correct tax, both spouses may
be responsible for any additional taxes assessed by the IRS.
You may want to file separately if:
You believe your spouse is not reporting all of his or her
income, or
You do not want to be responsible for any taxes due if
your spouse does not have enough tax withheld or does not pay
enough estimated tax.

-14-

2013 Form 1040A—Lines 2 Through 4
See the instructions for line 3. Also see Innocent spouse relief under General Information, later.
Nonresident aliens and dual-status aliens. Generally, a married couple cannot file a joint return if either spouse is a nonresident alien at any time during the year. However, if you
were a nonresident alien or a dual-status alien and were married to a U.S. citizen or resident alien at the end of 2013, you
can elect to be treated as a resident alien and file a joint return.
See Pub. 519 for details.

Line 3
Married Filing Separately
If you are married and file a separate return, you generally report only your own income, exemptions, deductions, and credits. Generally, you are responsible only for the tax on your own
income. Different rules apply to people in community property
states; see Pub. 555.
However, you will usually pay more tax than if you use another filing status for which you qualify. Also, if you file a separate return, you cannot take the student loan interest deduction, the tuition and fees deduction, the education credits, or the
earned income credit. You also cannot take the standard deduction if your spouse itemizes deductions.
Be sure to enter your spouse's SSN or ITIN on Form 1040A.
If your spouse does not have and is not required to have an
SSN or ITIN, enter "NRA."
You may be able to file as head of household if you
had a child living with you and you lived apart from
your spouse during the last 6 months of 2013. See
Married persons who live apart, later.

TIP

Line 4
Head of Household
This filing status is for unmarried individuals who provide a
home for certain other persons. You are considered unmarried
for this purpose if any of the following applies.
You were legally separated according to your state law
under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance at the end of
2013. But, if at the end of 2013, your divorce was not final (an
interlocutory decree), you are considered married.
You are married but lived apart from your spouse for the
last 6 months of 2013 and you meet the other rules under Married persons who live apart, later.
You are married to a nonresident alien at any time during
the year and you do not choose to treat him or her as a resident
alien.

Test 1. You paid over half the cost of keeping up a home that
was the main home for all of 2013 of your parent whom you
can claim as a dependent, except under a multiple support
agreement (see the line 6c instructions). Your parent did not
have to live with you.

Test 2. You paid over half the cost of keeping up a home in
which you lived and in which one of the following also lived
for more than half of the year (if half or less, see Exception to

not include:
a. Your child whom you claim as your dependent because
of the rule for Children of divorced or separated parents in the
line 6c instructions,
b. Any person who is your dependent only because he or
she lived with you for all of 2013, or

3. Your married qualifying child who is not your dependent only because you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's 2013 return.
4. Your qualifying child who, even though you are the custodial parent, is not your dependent because of the rule for
Children of divorced or separated parents in the line 6c instructions.
If the child is not your dependent, enter the child's name on

process your return.
Qualifying child. To find out if someone is your qualifying
child, see Step 1 of the line 6c instructions.

instructions for line 6c.
Exception to time lived with you. Temporary absences by
you or the other person for special circumstances, such as
school, vacation, business, medical care, military service, or
detention in a juvenile facility, count as time lived in the home.
Also see Kidnapped child in the line 6c instructions, if applicable.
If the person for whom you kept up a home was born or died
in 2013, you still may be able to file as head of household. If
the person is your qualifying child, the child must have lived
with you for more than half the part of the year he or she was
alive. If the person is anyone else, see Pub. 501.
Keeping up a home. To find out what is included in the cost
of keeping up a home, see Pub. 501.
If you used payments you received under Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or other public assistance
programs to pay part of the cost of keeping up your home, you
cannot count them as money you paid. However, you must include them in the total cost of keeping up your home to figure
if you paid over half the cost.
Married persons who live apart. Even if you were not divorced or legally separated at the end of 2013, you are considered unmarried if all of the following apply.
You lived apart from your spouse for the last 6 months of
2013. Temporary absences for special circumstances, such as

her under the rule for Children of divorced or separated parents in the line 6c instructions.
Adopted child. An adopted child is always treated as your
own child. An adopted child includes a child lawfully placed
with you for legal adoption.
Foster child. A foster child is any child placed with you by
an authorized placement agency or by judgment, decree, or
other order of any court of competent jurisdiction.

If your filing status is head of household and you check the
box on line 6b, enter the name of your spouse on the line next
to line 6b. Also, enter your spouse's social security number in
the space provided at the top of your return. If you became divorced or legally separated during 2013, you cannot take an exemption for your former spouse.

Definitions and Special Rules
Adopted child. An adopted child is always treated as your own
child. An adopted child includes a child lawfully placed with
you for legal adoption.
Adoption taxpayer identification numbers (ATINs). If you
have a dependent who was placed with you for legal adoption
and you do not know his or her SSN, you must get an ATIN for
the dependent from the IRS. See Form W-7A for details. If the
dependant is not a U.S. citizen or resident alien, apply for an
ITIN instead, using Form W-7.
Children of divorced or separated parents. A child will be
treated as the qualifying child or qualifying relative of his or her

2013 Form 1040A—Line 6c
noncustodial parent (defined later) if all of the following conditions apply.
1. The parents are divorced, legally separated, separated under a written separation agreement, or lived apart at all times
during the last 6 months of 2013 (whether or not they are or
were married).
2. The child received over half of his or her support for
2013 from the parents (and the rules on Multiple support agreements, later, do not apply). Support of a child received from a
parent's spouse is treated as provided by the parent.
3. The child is in custody of one or both of the parents for
more than half of 2013.
4. Either of the following applies.
a. The custodial parent signs Form 8332 or a substantially
similar statement that he or she will not claim the child as a dependent for 2013, and the noncustodial parent includes a copy
of the form or statement with his or her return. If the divorce decree or separation agreement went into effect after 1984 and before 2009, the noncustodial parent may be able to attach certain
pages from the decree or agreement instead of Form 8332. See
Post-1984 and pre-2009 decree or agreement and Post-2008
decree or agreement, later.
b. A pre-1985 decree of divorce or separate maintenance or
written separation agreement between the parents provides that
the noncustodial parent can claim the child as a dependent, and
the noncustodial parent provides at least $600 for support of the
child during 2013.
If conditions (1) through (4) apply, only the noncustodial parent can claim the child for purposes of the dependency exemption (line 6c) and the child tax credits (lines 33 and 39). However, this special rule does not apply to head of household filing
status, the credit for child and dependent care expenses, the exclusion for dependent care benefits, or the earned income credit.
See Pub. 501 for details.
Custodial and noncustodial parents. The custodial parent is
the parent with whom the child lived for the greater number of
nights in 2013. The noncustodial parent is the other parent. If
the child was with each parent for an equal number of nights,
the custodial parent is the parent with the higher adjusted gross
income. See Pub. 501 for an exception for a parent who works
at night, rules for a child who is emancipated under state law,
and other details.
Post-1984 and pre-2009 decree or agreement. The decree
or agreement must state all three of the following.
1. The noncustodial parent can claim the child as a dependent without regard to any condition, such as payment of support.
2. The other parent will not claim the child as a dependent.
3. The years for which the claim is released.
The noncustodial parent must include all of the following pages from the decree or agreement.
Cover page (include the other parent's SSN on that page).
The pages that include all the information identified in (1)
through (3) above.
Signature page with the other parent's signature and date of
agreement.

!

You must include the required information even if you
filed it with your return in an earlier year.

CAUTION

Post-2008 decree or agreement. If the divorce decree or
separation agreement went into effect after 2008, the noncustodial parent cannot include pages from the decree or agreement
instead of Form 8332. The custodial parent must sign either
Form 8332 or a substantially similar statement the only purpose
of which is to release the custodial parent's claim to an exemption for a child, and the noncustodial parent must include a copy
with his or her return. The form or statement must release the
custodial parent's claim to the child without any conditions. For
example, the release must not depend on the noncustodial parent paying support.
Release of exemption revoked. A custodial parent who has
revoked his or her previous release of a claim to exemption for
a child must include a copy of the revocation with his or her return. For details, see Form 8332.
Exception to citizen test. If you are a U.S. citizen or U.S. national and your adopted child lived with you all year as a member of your household, that child meets the requirement to be a
U.S. citizen in Step 2, question 1; Step 3, question 2; and Step
4, question 2.
Exception to gross income test. If your relative (including a
person who lived with you all year as a member of your household) is permanently and totally disabled (defined later), certain
income for services performed at a sheltered workshop may be
excluded for this test. For details, see Pub. 501.
Exception to time lived with you. Temporary absences by you
or the other person for special circumstances, such as school,
vacation, business, medical care, military service, or detention
in a juvenile facility, count as time the person lived with you.
Also see Children of divorced or separated parents, earlier, or
Kidnapped child, below.
A person is considered to have lived with you for all of 2013
if the person was born or died in 2013 and your home was this
person's home for the entire time he or she was alive in 2013.
If the person meets all other requirements to be your qualifying child but was born or died in 2013, the person is considered
to have lived with you for more than half of 2013 if your home
was this person's home for more than half the time he or she
was alive in 2013.
Foster child. A foster child is any child placed with you by an
authorized placement agency or by judgment, decree, or other
order of any court of competent jurisdiction.
Kidnapped child. If your child is presumed by law enforcement authorities to have been kidnapped by someone who is not
a family member, you may be able to take the child into account
in determining your eligibility for head of household or qualifying widow(er) filing status, the dependency exemption, the
child tax credit, and the earned income credit (EIC). For details,
see Pub. 501 (Pub. 596 for the EIC).
Married person. If the person is married and files a joint return, you cannot claim that person as your dependent. However,
if the person is married but does not file a joint return or files a

-19-

2013 Form 1040A—Line 6c
joint return only to claim a refund of withheld income tax or estimated tax paid, you may be able to claim him or her as a dependent. (See Pub. 501 for details and examples.) In that case,
go to Step 2, question 3 (for a qualifying child) or Step 4, question 4 (for a qualifying relative).
Multiple support agreements. If no one person contributed
over half of the support of your relative (or a person who lived
with you all year as a member of your household) but you and
another person(s) provided more than half of your relative's
support, special rules may apply that would treat you as having
provided over half of the support. For details, see Pub. 501.
Permanently and totally disabled. A person is permanently
and totally disabled if, at any time in 2013, the person cannot
engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a physical
or mental condition and a doctor has determined that this condition has lasted or can be expected to last continuously for at
least a year or can be expected to lead to death.
Qualifying child of more than one person. Even if a child
meets the conditions to be the qualifying child of more than one
person, only one person can claim the child as a qualifying child
for all of the following tax benefits, unless the special rule for
Children of divorced or separated parents, described earlier,
applies.
1. Dependency exemption (line 6c).
2. Child tax credits (lines 33 and 39).
3. Head of household filing status (line 4).
4. Credit for child and dependent care expenses (line 29).
5. Exclusion for dependent care benefits (Form 2441, Part
III).
6. Earned income credit (lines 38a and 38b).
No other person can take any of the six tax benefits listed above
unless he or she has a different qualifying child. If you and any
other person can claim the child as a qualifying child, the following rules apply.
If only one of the persons is the child's parent, the child is
treated as the qualifying child of the parent.
If the parents file a joint return together and can claim the
child as a qualifying child, the child is treated as the qualifying
child of the parents.
If the parents do not file a joint return together but both parents claim the child as a qualifying child, the IRS will treat the
child as the qualifying child of the parent with whom the child
lived for the longer period of time in 2013. If the child lived
with each parent for the same amount of time, the IRS will treat
the child as the qualifying child of the parent who had the higher adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2013.

Need more information or forms? Visit IRS.gov.

If no parent can claim the child as a qualifying child, the
child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the
highest AGI for 2013.
If a parent can claim the child as a qualifying child but no
parent does so claim the child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the highest AGI for 2013, but
only if that person's AGI is higher than the highest AGI of any
parent of the child who can claim the child.
Example. Your daughter meets the conditions to be a qualifying child for both you and your mother. Your daughter does
not meet the conditions to be a qualifying child of any other
person, including her other parent. Under the rules just described, you can claim your daughter as a qualifying child for all of
the six tax benefits listed earlier for which you otherwise qualify. Your mother cannot claim any of those six tax benefits unless she has a different qualifying child. However, if your mother's AGI is higher than yours and you do not claim your daughter as a qualifying child, your daughter is the qualifying child of
your mother.
For more details and examples, see Pub. 501.
If you will be claiming the child as a qualifying child, go to
Step 2. Otherwise, stop; you cannot claim any benefits based on
this child.
Social security number. You must enter each dependent's social security number (SSN). Be sure the name and SSN entered
agree with the dependent's social security card. Otherwise, at
the time we process your return, we may disallow the exemption claimed for the dependent and reduce or disallow any other
tax benefits (such as the child tax credit) based on that dependent. If the name or SSN on the dependent's social security card
is not correct, or you need to get an SSN for your dependent,
contact the Social Security Administration. See Social Security
Number (SSN), earlier. If your dependent will not have a number by the date your return is due, see What If You Cannot File
on Time? earlier.
If your dependent child was born and died in 2013 and you
do not have an SSN for the child, enter “Died” in column (2)
and include a copy of the child's birth certificate, death certificate, or hospital records. The document must show the child
was born alive.
Student. A student is a child who during any part of 5 calendar
months of 2013 was enrolled as a full-time student at a school,
or took a full-time, on-farm training course given by a school or
a state, county, or local government agency. A school includes a
technical, trade, or mechanical school. It does not include an
on-the-job training course, correspondence school, or school offering courses only through the Internet.

2013 Form 1040A—Line 7

Income
Generally, you must report all income except income that is exempt from tax by law. For details, see the following instructions, especially the instructions for lines 7 through 14b. Also
see Pub. 525.

Foreign-Source Income
You must report unearned income, such as interest, dividends,
and pensions, from sources outside the United States unless exempt by law or a tax treaty. You must also report earned income, such as wages and tips, from sources outside the United
States.
If you worked abroad, you may be able to exclude part or all
of your foreign earned income if you file Form 1040. For details, see Pub. 54 and Form 2555 or 2555-EZ.
Foreign retirement plans. If you were a beneficiary of a foreign retirement plan, you may have to report the undistributed
income earned in your plan. However, if you were the beneficiary of a Canadian registered retirement plan, see Form 8891
to find out if you can elect to defer tax on the undistributed income. If you elect to defer tax, you must file Form 1040.
Report distributions from foreign pension plans on lines 12a
and 12b.
Foreign accounts and trusts. You must complete Part III of
Schedule B if you:
Had a foreign account, or
Received a distribution from, or were a grantor of, or a
transferor to, a foreign trust.
Note. If you had foreign financial assets in 2013, you may
have to file Form 8938. If you must file Form 8938, you cannot
file Form 1040A. You must file Form 1040. See Form 8938
and its instructions.

Rounding Off to Whole Dollars
You can round off cents to whole dollars on your return and
schedules. If you do round to whole dollars, you must round all
amounts. To round, drop amounts under 50 cents and increase
amounts from 50 to 99 cents to the next dollar. For example,
$1.39 becomes $1 and $2.50 becomes $3.
If you have to add two or more amounts to figure the
amount to enter on a line, include cents when adding the
amounts and round off only the total.
Example. You received two Forms W-2, one showing wages of $5,009.55 and one showing wages of $8,760.73. On
Form 1040A, line 7, you would enter $13,770 ($5,009.55 +
$8,760.73 = $13,770.28).

Refunds of State or Local Income
Taxes
If you received a refund, credit, or offset of state or local income taxes in 2013, you may receive a Form 1099-G.
For the year the tax was paid to the state or other taxing authority, did you itemize deductions?

No.

None of your refund is taxable.

Yes.

You may have to report part or all of the refund as income on
Form 1040 for 2013. See Pub. 525 for details.

Community Property States
Community property states are Arizona, California, Idaho,
Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and
Wisconsin. If you and your spouse lived in a community property state, you must usually follow state law to determine what
is community income and what is separate income. For details,
see Form 8958 and Pub. 555.
Nevada, Washington, and California domestic partners. A
registered domestic partner in Nevada, Washington, or California generally must report half the combined community income
of the individual and his or her domestic partner. See Form
8958 and see Pub 555.

Line 7
Wages, Salaries, Tips, etc.
Enter the total of your wages, salaries, tips, etc. If a joint return, also include your spouse's income. For most people, the
amount to enter on this line should be shown in box 1 of their
Form(s) W-2. But the following types of income must also be
included in the total on line 7.
All wages received as a household employee for which
you did not receive a Form W-2 because your employer paid
you less than $1,800 in 2013. Also, enter “HSH” and the
amount not reported on a Form W-2 in the space to the left of
line 7.
Tip income you did not report to your employer. But you
must use Form 1040 and Form 4137 if you received tips of $20
or more in any month and did not report the full amount to
your employer, or your Form(s) W-2 shows allocated tips that
you must report as income. You must report the allocated tips
shown on your Form(s) W-2 unless you can prove that you received less. Allocated tips should be shown in box 8 of your
Form(s) W-2. They are not included as income in box 1. See
Pub. 531 for more details.
Dependent care benefits, which should be shown in
box 10 of your Form(s) W-2. But first complete Form 2441 to
see if you can exclude part or all of the benefits.
Scholarship and fellowship grants not reported on Form
W-2. Also, enter “SCH” and the amount in the space to the left
of line 7. However, if you were a degree candidate, include on
line 7 only the amounts you used for expenses other than tuition and course-related expenses. For example, amounts used
for room, board, and travel must be reported on line 7.
Disability pensions shown on Form 1099-R if you have
not reached the minimum retirement age set by your employer.
But see Insurance premiums for retired public safety officers,
in the instructions for lines 12a and 12b. Disability pensions received after you reach minimum retirement age and other payments shown on Form 1099-R (other than payments from an
IRA*) are reported on lines 12a and 12b of Form 1040A. Payments from an IRA are reported on lines 11a and 11b.

Line 9b

Missing or Incorrect Form W-2?

Qualified Dividends

Your employer is required to provide or send Form W-2 to you
no later than January 31, 2014. If you do not receive it by early
February, use TeleTax topic 154 to find out what to do. Even if
you do not get a Form W-2, you must still report your earnings
on line 7. If you lose your Form W-2 or it is incorrect, ask your
employer for a new one.

Enter your total qualified dividends on line 9b. Qualified dividends are also included in the ordinary dividend total required
to be shown on line 9a. Qualified dividends are eligible for a
lower tax rate than other ordinary income. Generally, these dividends are shown in box 1b of Form(s) 1099-DIV. See Pub.
550 for the definition of qualified dividends if you received
dividends not reported on Form 1099-DIV.
Exception. Some dividends may be reported as qualified dividends in box 1b of Form 1099-DIV but are not qualified dividends. These include:
Dividends you received as a nominee. See the Schedule B
instructions.
Dividends you received on any share of stock that you
held for less than 61 days during the 121-day period that began
60 days before the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date is
the first date following the declaration of a dividend on which
the purchaser of a stock is not entitled to receive the next dividend payment. When counting the number of days you held the
stock, include the day you disposed of the stock but not the day
you acquired it. See the examples that follow. Also, when
counting the number of days you held the stock, you cannot
count certain days during which your risk of loss was diminished. See Pub. 550 for more details.
Dividends attributable to periods totaling more than 366
days that you received on any share of preferred stock held for
less than 91 days during the 181-day period that began 90 days
before the ex-dividend date. When counting the number of
days you held the stock, you cannot count certain days during
which your risk of loss was diminished. See Pub. 550 for more
details. Preferred dividends attributable to periods totaling less
than 367 days are subject to the 61-day holding period rule just
described.
Dividends on any share of stock to the extent that you are
under an obligation (including a short sale) to make related
payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or
related property.
Payments in lieu of dividends, but only if you know or
have reason to know that the payments are not qualified dividends.

Line 8a
Taxable Interest
Each payer should send you a Form 1099-INT or Form
1099-OID. Enter your total taxable interest income on line 8a.
But you must fill in and attach Schedule B if the total is over
$1,500 or any of the other conditions listed at the beginning of
the Schedule B instructions apply to you.
Interest credited in 2013 on deposits that you could not
withdraw because of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the financial institution may not have to be included in your 2013 income. For details, see Pub. 550.

TIP

If you get a 2013 Form 1099-INT for U.S. savings
bond interest that includes amounts you reported before 2013, see Pub. 550.

Line 8b
Tax-Exempt Interest
If you received any tax-exempt interest, such as from municipal bonds, each payer should send you a Form 1099-INT. Your
tax-exempt interest should be shown in box 8 of Form
1099-INT. Enter the total on line 8b. Also include on line 8b
any exempt-interest dividends from a mutual fund or other
regulated investment company. This amount should be shown
in box 10 of Form 1099-DIV.
Do not include interest earned on your IRA, health savings
account, Archer or Medicare Advantage MSA, or Coverdell
education savings account.
If you received tax-exempt interest from private activity
bonds issued after August 7, 1986, you must use Form 1040.

Line 9a
Ordinary Dividends
Each payer should send you a Form 1099-DIV. Enter your total
ordinary dividends on line 9a. This amount should be shown in
box 1a of Form(s) 1099-DIV.
You must fill in and attach Schedule B if the total is over
$1,500 or you received, as a nominee, ordinary dividends that
actually belong to someone else.
You must use Form 1040 if you received nondividend distributions (box 3 of Form 1099-DIV) required to be reported as
capital gains.

Example 1. You bought 5,000 shares of XYZ Corp. common stock on July 8, 2013. XYZ Corp. paid a cash dividend of
10 cents per share. The ex-dividend date was July 16, 2013.
Your Form 1099-DIV from XYZ Corp. shows $500 in box 1a
(ordinary dividends) and in box 1b (qualified dividends). However, you sold the 5,000 shares on August 11, 2013. You held
your shares of XYZ Corp. for only 34 days of the 121-day period (from July 9, 2013, through August 11, 2013). The 121-day
period began on May 17, 2013, (60 days before the ex-dividend
date) and ended on September 14, 2013. You have no qualified
dividends from XYZ Corp. because you held the XYZ stock
for less than 61 days.
Example 2. Assume the same facts as in Example 1 except
that you bought the stock on July 15, 2013 (the day before the
ex-dividend date), and you sold the stock on September 16,

-22-

2013 Form 1040A—Lines 9b Through 11b
2013. You held the stock for 63 days (from July 15, 2013,
through September 16, 2013). The $500 of qualified dividends
shown in box 1b of your Form 1099-DIV are all qualified dividends because you held the stock for 61 days of the 121-day
period (from July 16, 2013, through September 14, 2013).
Example 3. You bought 10,000 shares of ABC Mutual
Fund common stock on July 8, 2013. ABC Mutual Fund paid a
cash dividend of 10 cents a share. The ex-dividend date was July 16, 2013. The ABC Mutual Fund advises you that the portion of the dividend eligible to be treated as qualified dividends
equals 2 cents per share. Your Form 1099-DIV from ABC Mutual Fund shows total ordinary dividends of $1,000, and qualified dividends of $200. However, you sold the 10,000 shares
on August 11, 2013. You have no qualified dividends from
ABC Mutual Fund because you held the ABC Mutual Fund
stock for less than 61 days.

TIP

Be sure you use the Qualified Dividends and Capital
Gain Tax Worksheet to figure your tax.

Line 10
Capital Gain Distributions
Each payer should send you a Form 1099-DIV. Do any of the
Forms 1099-DIV or substitute statements you, or your spouse
if filing a joint return, received have an amount in box 2b (unrecaptured section 1250 gain), box 2c (section 1202 gain), or
box 2d (collectibles (28%) gain)?
Yes.

You must use Form 1040.

No.

You can use Form 1040A. Enter your total capital gain
distributions (from box 2a of Form(s) 1099-DIV) on
line 10. Also, be sure you use the Qualified Dividends
and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet to figure your tax.

If you received capital gain distributions as a nominee (that
is, they were paid to you but actually belong to someone else),
report on line 10 only the amount that belongs to you. Include a
statement showing the full amount you received and the
amount you received as a nominee. See the Schedule B instructions for filing requirements for Forms 1099-DIV and 1096.

Lines 11a and 11b
IRA Distributions
You should receive a Form 1099-R showing the total amount
of any distribution from your IRA before income tax and other
deductions were withheld. This amount should be shown in
box 1 of Form 1099-R. Unless otherwise noted in the line 11a
and 11b instructions, an IRA includes a traditional IRA, Roth
IRA, simplified employee pension (SEP) IRA, and a savings
incentive match plan for employees (SIMPLE) IRA. Except as
provided below, leave line 11a blank and enter the total distribution (from Form 1099-R, box 1) on line 11b.
Exception 1. Enter the total distribution on line 11a if you rolled over part or all of the distribution from one:

IRA to another IRA of the same type (for example, from
one traditional IRA to another traditional IRA),
SEP or SIMPLE IRA to a traditional IRA, or
IRA to a qualified plan other than an IRA.
Also, enter “Rollover” next to line 11b. If the total distribution was rolled over in a qualified rollover, enter -0- on
line 11b. If the total distribution was not rolled over in a qualified rollover, enter the part not rolled over on line 11b unless
Exception 2 applies to the part not rolled over. Generally, a
qualified rollover must be made within 60 days after the day
you received the distribution. For more details on rollovers, see
Pub. 590.
If you rolled over the distribution into a qualified plan other
than an IRA or you made the rollover in 2013, include a statement explaining what you did.
Exception 2. If any of the following apply, enter the total distribution on line 11a and see Form 8606 and its instructions to
figure the amount to enter on line 11b.
1. You received a distribution from an IRA (other than a
Roth IRA) and you made nondeductible contributions to any of
your traditional or SEP IRAs for 2013 or an earlier year. If you
made nondeductible contributions to these IRAs for 2013, also
see Pub. 590.
2. You received a distribution from a Roth IRA. But if either (a) or (b) below applies, enter -0- on line 11b; you do not
have to see Form 8606 or its instructions.
a. Distribution code T is shown in box 7 of Form 1099-R
and you made a contribution (including a conversion) to a Roth
IRA for 2008 or an earlier year.
b. Distribution code Q is shown in box 7 of Form 1099-R.
3. You converted part or all of a traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA to a Roth IRA in 2013.
4. You had a 2012 or 2013 IRA contribution returned to
you, with the related earnings or less any loss, by the due date
(including extensions) of your tax return for that year.
5. You made excess contributions to your IRA for an earlier year and had them returned to you in 2013.
6. You recharacterized part or all of a contribution to a
Roth IRA as a traditional IRA contribution, or vice versa.
Exception 3. If the distribution is a qualified charitable distribution (QCD), enter the total distribution on line 11a. If the total amount distributed is a QCD, enter -0- on line 11b. If only
part of the distribution is a QCD, enter the part that is not a
QCD on line 11b unless Exception 2 applies to that part. Enter
“QCD” next to line 11b.
A QCD is a distribution made directly by the trustee of your
IRA (other than an ongoing SEP or SIMPLE IRA) to an organization eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions (with
certain exceptions). You must have been at least age 701 2 when
the distribution was made.
Generally, your total QCDs for the year cannot be more than
$100,000. (On a joint return, your spouse can also have a QCD
of up to $100,000. If you elected to treat a January 2013 QCD
as made in 2012, report it on your 2013 return like any other
2013 QCD, as just described. However, if you also made an-

$70,000.” The amount of the QCD is limited to the amount that
would otherwise be included in your income. If your IRA includes nondeductible contributions, the distribution is first considered to be paid out of otherwise taxable income. See Pub.
590 for details.

!

You cannot claim a charitable contribution deduction
for any QCD not included in your income.

CAUTION

Exception 4. If the distribution is a health savings account
(HSA) funding distribution (HFD), you must file Form 1040.
See Exception 4 in the instructions for Form 1040, lines 15a
and 15b. An HFD is a distribution made directly by the trustee
of your IRA (other than an ongoing SEP or SIMPLE IRA) to
your HSA.
More than one exception applies. If more than one exception
applies, include a statement showing the amount of each exception, instead of making an entry next to line 11b. For example:
“Line 11b--$1,000 Rollover and $500 QCD.” But you do not
need to attach a statement if only Exception 2 and one other exception apply.
More than one distribution. If you (or your spouse if filing
jointly) received more than one distribution, figure the taxable
amount of each distribution and enter the total of the taxable
amounts on line 11b. Enter the total amount of those distributions on line 11a.
You may have to pay an additional tax if (a) you received an early distribution from your IRA and the toCAUTION
tal was not rolled over or (b) you were born before
July 1, 1942, and received less than the minimum required distribution from your traditional, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs. If you
do owe this tax, you must use Form 1040.

!

More information. For more information about IRAs, see
Pub. 590.

Lines 12a and 12b
Pensions and Annuities
You should receive a Form 1099-R showing the total amount
of your pension and annuity payments before income tax or
other deductions were withheld. This amount should be shown
in box 1 of Form 1099-R. Pension and annuity payments include distributions from 401(k), 403(b), and governmental
457(b) plans. Rollovers and lump-sum distributions are explained later. Do not include the following payments on lines
12a and 12b. Instead, report them on line 7.
Disability pensions received before you reach the minimum retirement age set by your employer.
Corrective distributions (including any earnings) of excess salary deferrals or excess contributions to retirement
plans. The plan must advise you of the year(s) the distributions
are includible in income.

Need more information or forms? Visit IRS.gov.

TIP

Attach Form(s) 1099-R to Form 1040A if any federal
income tax was withheld.

Fully taxable pensions and annuities. Your payments are
fully taxable if (a) you did not contribute to the cost (see Cost,
later) of your pension or annuity, or (b) you got back your entire cost tax free before 2013. But see Insurance premiums for
retired public safety officers, later. If your pension or annuity is
fully taxable, enter the total pension or annuity payments (from
Form(s) 1099-R, box 1) on line 12b; do not make an entry on
line 12a.
Fully taxable pensions and annuities also include military
retirement pay shown on Form 1099-R. For details on military
disability pensions, see Pub. 525. If you received a Form
RRB-1099-R, see Pub. 575 to find out how to report your benefits.
Partially taxable pensions and annuities. Enter the total pension or annuity payments (from Form 1099-R, box 1) on
line 12a. If your Form 1099-R does not show the taxable
amount, you must use the General Rule explained in Pub. 939
to figure the taxable part to enter on line 12b. But if your annuity starting date (defined later) was after July 1, 1986, see Simplified Method, later, to find out if you must use that method to
figure the taxable part.
You can ask the IRS to figure the taxable part for you for a
$1,000 fee. For details, see Pub. 939.
If your Form 1099-R shows a taxable amount, you can report that amount on line 12b. But you may be able to report a
lower taxable amount by using the General Rule or the Simplified Method or if the exclusion for retired public safety officers, discussed next, applies.
Insurance premiums for retired public safety officers. If
you are an eligible retired public safety officer (law enforcement officer, firefighter, chaplain, or member of a rescue squad
or ambulance crew), you can elect to exclude from income distributions made from your eligible retirement plan that are used
to pay the premiums for coverage by an accident or health plan
or a long-term care insurance contract. You can do this only if
you retired because of disability or because you reached normal retirement age. The premiums can be for coverage for you,
your spouse, or dependents. The distribution must be from a
plan maintained by the employer from which you retired as a
public safety officer. Also, the distribution must be made directly from the plan to the provider of the accident or health
plan or long-term care insurance contract. You can exclude
from income the smaller of the amount of the premiums or
$3,000. You can only make this election for amounts that
would otherwise be included in your income.
An eligible retirement plan is a governmental plan that is:
a qualified trust,
a section 403(a) plan,
a section 403(b) plan, or
a section 457(b) plan.
If you make this election, reduce the otherwise taxable
amount of your pension or annuity by the amount excluded.
The amount shown in box 2a of Form 1099-R does not reflect

-24-

2013 Form 1040A—Lines 12b Through 14b
the exclusion. Report your total distributions on line 12a and
the taxable amount on line 12b. Enter “PSO” next to line 12b.
If you are retired on disability and reporting your disability
pension on line 7, include only the taxable amount on that line
and enter “PSO” and the amount excluded in the space to the
left of line 7.
Simplified Method. You must use the Simplified Method if
either of the following applies.
1. Your annuity starting date was after July 1, 1986, and
you used this method last year to figure the taxable part.
2. Your annuity starting date was after November 18,
1996, and both of the following apply.
a. The payments are from a qualified employee plan, a
qualified employee annuity, or a tax-sheltered annuity.
b. On your annuity starting date, either you were under age
75 or the number of years of guaranteed payments was fewer
than 5. See Pub. 575 for the definition of guaranteed payments.
If you must use the Simplified Method, complete the Simplified Method Worksheet in these instructions to figure the
taxable part of your pension or annuity. For more details on the
Simplified Method, see Pub. 575 or Pub. 721 for U.S. Civil
Service retirement benefits.
If you received U.S. Civil Service retirement benefits
and you chose the alternative annuity option, see
CAUTION
Pub. 721 to figure the taxable part of your annuity.
Do not use the Simplified Method Worksheet in these instructions.

!

Annuity starting date. Your annuity starting date is the later
of the first day of the first period for which you received a payment or the date the plan's obligations became fixed.
Age (or combined ages) at annuity starting date. If you are
the retiree, use your age on the annuity starting date. If you are
the survivor of a retiree, use the retiree's age on his or her annuity starting date. But if your annuity starting date was after
1997 and the payments are for your life and that of your beneficiary, use your combined ages on the annuity starting date.
If you are the beneficiary of an employee who died, see Pub.
575. If there is more than one beneficiary, see Pub. 575 or Pub.
721 to figure each beneficiary's taxable amount.
Cost. Your cost is generally your net investment in the plan as
of the annuity starting date. It does not include pre-tax contributions. Your net investment should be shown in box 9b of
Form 1099-R for the first year you received payments from the
plan.
Rollovers. Generally, a qualified rollover is a tax-free distribution of cash or other assets from one retirement plan that is
contributed to another plan within 60 days of receiving the distribution. However, a qualified rollover to a Roth IRA or a designated Roth account is generally not a tax-free distribution.
Use lines 12a and 12b to report a qualified rollover, including a
direct rollover, from one qualified employer's plan to another
or to an IRA or SEP.
Enter on line 12a the distribution from Form 1099-R, box 1.
From this amount, subtract any contributions (usually shown in

box 5) that were taxable to you when made. From that result,
subtract the amount of the qualified rollover. Enter the remaining amount on line 12b. If the remaining amount is zero and
you have no other distribution to report on line 12b, enter zero
on line 12b. Also, enter “Rollover” next to line 12b.
See Pub. 575 for more details on rollovers, including special
rules that apply to rollovers from designated Roth accounts,
partial rollovers of property, and distributions under qualified
domestic relations orders.
Lump-sum distributions. If you received a lump-sum distribution from a profit-sharing or retirement plan, your Form
1099-R should have the “Total distribution” box in box 2b
checked. You must use Form 1040 if you owe additional tax
because you received an early distribution from a qualified retirement plan and the total amount was not rolled over in a
qualified rollover. See Pub. 575 to find out if you owe this tax.
Enter the total distribution on line 12a and the taxable part
on line 12b. For details, see Pub. 575.
You may be able to pay less tax on the distribution if
you were born before January 2, 1936, or you are the
beneficiary of a deceased employee who was born before January 2, 1936. But you must use Form 1040 to do so.
For details, see Form 4972.

TIP

Line 13
Unemployment Compensation and Alaska
Permanent Fund Dividends
Unemployment compensation. You should receive a Form
1099-G showing in box 1 the total unemployment compensation paid to you in 2013. Report this amount on line 13. However, if you made contributions to a governmental unemployment compensation program or to a governmental paid family
leave program, reduce the amount you report on line 13 by
those contributions.
If you received an overpayment of unemployment compensation in 2013 and you repaid any of it in 2013, subtract the
amount you repaid from the total amount you received. Enter
the result on line 13. Also, enter “Repaid” and the amount you
repaid in the space to the left of line 13. If, in 2013, you repaid
unemployment compensation that you included in gross income in an earlier year, you can deduct the amount repaid. But
you must use Form 1040 to do so. See Pub. 525 for details.
Alaska Permanent Fund dividends. Include the dividends in
the total on line 13.

Lines 14a and 14b
Social Security Benefits
You should receive a Form SSA-1099 showing in box 3 the total social security benefits paid to you. Box 4 will show the
amount of any benefits you repaid in 2013. If you received railroad retirement benefits treated as social security, you should
receive a Form RRB-1099.

2013 Form 1040A—Lines 16 and 17

If you made any nondeductible contributions to a traditional individual retirement arrangement (IRA) for
2013, you must report them on Form 8606.

Use the IRA Deduction Worksheet in these instructions to
figure the amount, if any, of your IRA deduction. But read the
following 11-item list before you fill in the worksheet.
1. If you were age 701 2 or older at the end of 2013, you
cannot deduct any contributions made to your traditional IRA
for 2013 or treat them as nondeductible contributions.
2. You cannot deduct contributions to a Roth IRA. But you
may be able to take the retirement savings contributions credit
(saver's credit). See the instructions for line 32.
3. If you are filing a joint return and you or your spouse
made contributions to both a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA
for 2013, do not use the IRA Deduction Worksheet in these instructions. Instead, see Pub. 590 to figure the amount, if any, of
your IRA deduction.
4. You cannot deduct elective deferrals to a 401(k) plan,
403(b) plan, section 457 plan, SIMPLE plan, or the federal
Thrift Savings Plan. These amounts are not included as income
in box 1 of your Form W-2. But you may be able to take the
retirement savings contributions credit. See the instructions for
line 32.
5. If you made contributions to your IRA in 2013 that you
deducted for 2012, do not include them in the worksheet.
6. If you received income from a nonqualified deferred
compensation plan or nongovernmental section 457 plan that is
included in box 1 of your Form W-2, do not include that income on line 8 of the worksheet. The income should be shown
in (a) box 11 of your Form W-2 or (b) box 12 of your Form
W-2 with code Z. If it is not, contact your employer for the
amount of the income.
7. You must file a joint return to deduct contributions to
your spouse's IRA. Enter the total IRA deduction for you and
your spouse on line 17.
8. Do not include qualified rollover contributions in figuring your deduction. Instead, see the instructions for lines 11a
and 11b.
9. Do not include trustees' fees that were billed separately
and paid by you for your IRA. You may be able to deduct those
fees as an itemized deduction. But you must use Form 1040 to
do so.
10. Do not include any repayments of qualified reservist distributions. You cannot deduct them. For information on how to
report these repayments, see Qualified reservist repayments in
Pub. 590.
11. If the total of your IRA deduction on line 17 plus any
nondeductible contribution to your traditional IRAs shown on
Form 8606 is less than your total traditional IRA contributions
for 2013, see Pub. 590 for special rules.

If you made contributions to a traditional IRA for 2013, you
may be able to take an IRA deduction. But you, or your spouse
if filing a joint return, must have had earned income to do so. If
you were a member of the U.S. Armed Forces, earned income
includes any nontaxable combat pay you received. A statement
should be sent to you by June 2, 2014, that shows all contributions to your traditional IRA for 2013.

By April 1 of the year after the year in which you
reach age 701 2, you must start taking minimum required distributions from your traditional IRA. If you
do not, you may have to pay a 50% additional tax on the
amount that should have been distributed. For details, including how to figure the minimum required distribution, see Pub.
590.

Adjusted Gross Income
Line 16
Educator Expenses
If you were an eligible educator in 2013, you can deduct on
line 16 up to $250 of qualified expenses you paid in 2013. If
you and your spouse are filing jointly and both of you were eligible educators, the maximum deduction is $500. However,
neither spouse can deduct more than $250 of his or her qualified expenses on line 16. You may be able to deduct expenses
that are more than the $250 (or $500) limit on Schedule A,
line 21, but you must use Form 1040. An eligible educator is a
kindergarten through grade 12 teacher, instructor, counselor,
principal, or aide who worked in a school for at least 900 hours
during a school year.
Qualified expenses include ordinary and necessary expenses
paid in connection with books, supplies, equipment (including
computer equipment, software, and services), and other materials used in the classroom. An ordinary expense is one that is
common and accepted in your educational field. A necessary
expense is one that is helpful and appropriate for your profession as an educator. An expense does not have to be required to
be considered necessary.
Qualified expenses do not include expenses for home
schooling or for nonathletic supplies for courses in health or
physical education.
You must reduce your qualified expenses by the following
amounts.
Excludable U.S. series EE and I savings bond interest
from Form 8815.

Qualified student loan. A qualified student loan is any loan
you took out to pay the qualified higher education expenses for
any of the following individuals who was an eligible student.
1. Yourself or your spouse.
2. Any person who was your dependent when the loan was
taken out.
3. Any person you could have claimed as a dependent for
the year the loan was taken out except that:
a. The person filed a joint return,
b. The person had gross income that was equal to or more
than the exemption amount for that year ($3,900 for 2013), or
c. You, or your spouse if filing jointly, could be claimed as
a dependent on someone else's return.
However, a loan is not a qualified student loan if (a) any of
the proceeds were used for other purposes, or (b) the loan was
from either a related person or a person who borrowed the proceeds under a qualified employer plan or a contract purchased
under such a plan. For details, see Pub. 970.
Qualified higher education expenses. Qualified higher education expenses generally include tuition, fees, room and
board, and related expenses such as books and supplies. The
expenses must be for education in a degree, certificate, or similar program at an eligible educational institution. An eligible
educational institution includes most colleges, universities, and
certain vocational schools. For details, see Pub 970.

Tuition and Fees
If you paid qualified tuition and fees for yourself, your spouse,
or your dependent(s), you may be able to take this deduction.

Definitions and Special Rules
Adopted child. An adopted child is always treated as your own
child. An adopted child includes a child lawfully placed with
you for legal adoption.
Combat pay, nontaxable. If you were a member of the U.S.
Armed Forces who served in a combat zone, certain pay is excluded from your income. See Combat Zone Exclusion in Pub.
3. You can elect to include this pay in your earned income when
figuring the EIC. The amount of your nontaxable combat pay
should be shown in box 12 of Form(s) W-2 with code Q. If you
are filing a joint return and both you and your spouse received
nontaxable combat pay, you can each make your own election.
In other words, if one of you makes the election, the other one
can also make it but does not have to.
Credit figured by the IRS. To have the IRS figure your EIC:
1. Enter “EIC” to the left of the entry space for Form

Form 8862, who must file. You must file Form 8862 if your
EIC for a year after 1996 was reduced or disallowed for any
reason other than a math or clerical error. But do not file Form
8862 if either of the following applies.
You filed Form 8862 for another year, the EIC was allowed for that year, and your EIC has not been reduced or disallowed again for any reason other than a math or clerical error.
You are taking the EIC without a qualifying child and the
only reason your EIC was reduced or disallowed in the other
year was because it was determined that a child listed on Schedule EIC was not your qualifying child.
Also, do not file Form 8862 or take the credit for the:
2 years after the most recent tax year for which there was a
final determination that your EIC claim was due to reckless or
intentional disregard of the EIC rules, or

2013 Form 1040A—Lines 38a and 38b
10 years after the most recent tax year for which there was
a final determination that your EIC claim was due to fraud.
Foster child. A foster child is any child placed with you by an
authorized placement agency or by judgment, decree, or other
order of any court of competent jurisdiction. For more details on
authorized placement agencies, see Pub. 596.
Married child. A child who was married at the end of 2013 is
a qualifying child only if (a) you can claim him or her as your
dependent on Form 1040A, line 6c, or (b) you could have
claimed him or her as your dependent except for the special rule
under Children of divorced or separated parents in the instructions for line 6c.
Members of the military. If you were on extended active duty
outside the United States, your main home is considered to be in
the United States during that duty period. Extended active duty
is military duty ordered for an indefinite period or for a period
of more than 90 days. Once you begin serving extended active
duty, you are considered to be on extended active duty even if
you do not serve more than 90 days.
Nonresident aliens. If your filing status is married filing jointly, go to Step 2. Otherwise, stop; you cannot take the EIC. Enter
“No” to the left of the entry space for line 38a.
Permanently and totally disabled. A person is permanently
and totally disabled if, at any time in 2013, the person could not
engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a physical
or mental condition and a doctor has determined that this condition (a) has lasted or can be expected to last continuously for at
least a year, or (b) can be expected to lead to death.
Qualifying child of more than one person. Even if a child
meets the conditions to be the qualifying child of more than one
person, only one person can claim the child as a qualifying child
for all of the following tax benefits, unless the special rule for
Children of divorced or separated parents in the instructions for
line 6c applies.
1. Dependency exemption (line 6c).
2. Child tax credits (lines 33 and 39).
3. Head of household filing status (line 4).
4. Credit for child and dependent care expenses (line 29).
5. Exclusion for dependent care benefits (Form 2441, Part
III).
6. Earned income credit (lines 38a and 38b).
No other person can take any of the six tax benefits just listed
unless he or she has a different qualifying child. If you and any
other person can claim the child as a qualifying child, the following rules apply.
If only one of the persons is the child's parent, the child is
treated as the qualifying child of the parent.
If the parents do not file a joint return together but both parents claim the child as a qualifying child, the IRS will treat the
child as the qualifying child of the parent with whom the child
lived for the longer period of time in 2013. If the child lived
with each parent for the same amount of time, the IRS will treat
the child as the qualifying child of the parent who had the higher adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2013.

If no parent can claim the child as a qualifying child, the
child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the
highest AGI for 2013.
If a parent can claim the child as a qualifying child but no
parent does so claim the child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the highest AGI for 2013, but
only if that person's AGI is higher than the highest AGI of any
parent of the child who can claim the child.
Example. Your daughter meets the conditions to be a qualifying child for both you and your mother. Your daughter does
not meet the conditions to be the qualifying child of any other
person, including her other parent. Under the rules above, you
can claim your daughter as a qualifying child for all of the six
tax benefits previously listed for which you otherwise qualify.
Your mother cannot claim any of those six tax benefits unless
she has a different qualifying child. However, if your mother's
AGI is higher than yours and you do not claim your daughter as
a qualifying child, your daughter is the qualifying child of your
mother.
For more details and examples, see Pub. 596.
If you will not be taking the EIC with a qualifying child, enter “No” to the left of the entry space for line 38a. Otherwise, go
to Step 3, question 1.
Social security number (SSN). For the EIC, a valid SSN is a
number issued by the Social Security Administration unless
“Not Valid for Employment” is printed on the social security
card and the number was issued solely to allow the recipient of
the SSN to apply for or receive a federally funded benefit. However, if “Valid for Work Only With DHS Authorization” is printed on your social security card, your SSN is valid for EIC purposes only as long as the DHS authorization is still valid.
To find out how to get an SSN, see Social Security Number
(SSN), near the beginning of these instructions. If you will not
have an SSN by the date your return is due, see What If You
Cannot File on Time.
Student. A student is a child who during any part of 5 calendar
months of 2013 was enrolled as a full-time student at a school,
or took a full-time, on-farm training course given by a school or
a state, county, or local government agency. A school includes a
technical, trade, or mechanical school. It does not include an
on-the-job training course, correspondence school, or school offering courses only through the Internet.
Welfare benefits, effect of credit on. Any refund you receive
as a result of taking the EIC cannot be counted as income when
determining if you or anyone else is eligible for benefits or assistance, or how much you or anyone else can receive, under
any federal program or under any state or local program financed in whole or in part with federal funds. These programs
include Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF),
Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps). In addition,
when determining eligibility, the refund cannot be counted as a
resource for at least 12 months after you receive it. Check with
your local benefit coordinator to find out if your refund will affect your benefits.

2013 Form 1040A—Lines 39 Through 43d

Line 39

Refund

Additional Child Tax Credit

Line 42

What Is the Additional Child Tax Credit?
This credit is for certain people who have at least one qualifying child for the child tax credit (as defined in Steps 1, 2, and 3
of the instructions for line 6c). The additional child tax credit
may give you a refund even if you do not owe any tax.

Step 2.

If line 42 is under $1, we will send a refund only on written request.
If the amount you overpaid is large, you may want to
decrease the amount of income tax withheld from
your pay by filing a new Form W-4. See Income tax
withholding and estimated tax payments for 2014 under General Information, later.

TIP

Two Steps To Take the Additional Child Tax Credit!
Step 1.

Amount Overpaid

Be sure you figured the amount, if any, of your child tax credit.
See the instructions for line 33.
Read the TIP at the end of your Child Tax Credit Worksheet.
Use Schedule 8812 to see if you can take the additional child
tax credit, but only if you meet the condition given in that TIP.

Line 40
American Opportunity Credit
If you meet the requirements to claim an education credit (see
the instructions for line 31), enter on this line the amount, if
any, from Form 8863, line 8. To find out which education benefits you qualify for, go to www.irs.gov/uac/Am-I-Eligible-toClaim-an-Education-Credit%3F.

Line 41
Amount paid with Request for Extension to File
If you got an automatic extension of time to file Form 1040A
by filing Form 4868 or by making a payment, enter the amount
you paid with Form 4868. If you paid by credit or debit card,
do not include on line 41 the convenience fee you were charged. To the left of the entry space for line 41, enter “Form 4868”
and show the amount paid.
If you pay your taxes by credit or debit card, you may
TIP be able to deduct the related credit or debit card convenience fees on your 2014 return, but you must file
Form 1040 to do so.
Excess social security and tier 1 railroad retirement
(RRTA) tax withheld. If you, or your spouse if filing a joint
return, had more than one employer for 2013 and total wages
of more than $113,700, too much social security or tier 1
RRTA tax may have been withheld. For more details, including
how to figure the amount to include on line 41, see Pub. 505.
Include the excess in the total on line 41. Write “Excess SST”
and show the excess amount to the left of the line.

Refund offset. If you owe past-due federal tax, state income
tax, state unemployment compensation debts, child support,
spousal support, or certain federal nontax debts, such as student
loans, all or part of the overpayment on line 42 may be used
(offset) to pay the past-due amount. Offsets for federal taxes
are made by the IRS. All other offsets are made by the Treasury Department's Financial Management Service (FMS). For
federal tax offsets, you will receive a notice from the IRS. For
all other offsets, you will receive a notice from FMS. To find
out if you may have an offset or if you have any questions
about it, contact the agency to which you owe the debt.
Injured spouse. If you file a joint return and your spouse has
not paid past-due federal tax, state income tax, state unemployment compensation debts, child support, spousal support, or a
federal nontax debt, such as a student loan, part or all of the
overpayment on line 42 may be used (offset) to pay the
past-due amount. But your part of the overpayment may be refunded to you if certain conditions apply and you complete
Form 8379. For details, use TeleTax topic 203 or see Form
8379.

Lines 43a Through 43d
Amount Refunded to You
If you want to check the status of your refund, see Refund Information, later. Just use the IRS2Go phone app or go to
IRS.gov and click on Where's My Refund? Information about
your return will generally be available within 24 hours after the
IRS receives your e-filed return, or 4 weeks after you mail your
paper return. If you filed Form 8379 with your return, wait 14
weeks (11 weeks if you filed electronically). Have your 2013
tax return handy so you can enter your social security number,
your filing status, and the exact whole dollar amount of your
refund.
Where's My Refund? includes a tracker that displays progress through three stages: (1) return received, (2) refund approved, and (3) refund sent. Where's My Refund? will provide
an actual personalized refund date as soon as the IRS processes
your tax return and approves your refund.
Effect of refund on benefits. Any refund you receive cannot
be counted as income when determining if you or anyone else
is eligible for benefits or assistance, or how much you or

anyone else can receive, under any federal program or under
any state or local program financed in whole or in part with
federal funds. These programs include Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families (TANF), Medicaid, Supplemental Security
Income (SSI), and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(food stamps). In addition, when determining eligibility, the refund cannot be counted as a resource for at least 12 months after you receive it. Check with your local benefit coordinator to
find out if your refund will affect your benefits.

DIRECT DEPOSIT
Simple. Safe. Secure.

be applied (unless the trustee or custodian will not accept a deposit for 2013). If you do not, the trustee or custodian can assume the deposit is for the year during which you are filing the
return. For example, if you file your 2013 return during 2014
and do not notify the trustee or custodian in advance, the trustee or custodian can assume the deposit to your IRA is for 2014.
If you designate your deposit to be for 2013, you must verify
that the deposit was actually made to the account by the due
date of the return (without regard to extensions). If the deposit
is not made by that date, the deposit is not an IRA contribution
for 2013. In that case, you must file an amended 2013 return
and reduce any IRA deduction and any retirement savings contributions credit you claimed.
You and your spouse, if filing jointly, each may be
able to contribute up to $5,500 ($6,500 if age 50 or
CAUTION
older at the end of 2013) to a traditional IRA or Roth
IRA for 2013. To find the limits for 2014, see Pub. 590. You
may owe a penalty if your contributions exceed these limits.

Fast Refunds! Choose direct deposit—a fast, simple, safe, secure way to
have your refund deposited automatically to your checking or savings
account, including an individual retirement arrangement (IRA). See the
information about IRAs, later.

!

For more information on IRAs, see Pub. 590.
If you want us to directly deposit the amount shown on line 43a
to your checking or savings account, including an IRA, at a
bank or other financial institution (such as a mutual fund, brokerage firm, or credit union) in the United States:
Complete lines 43b through 43d if you want your refund
deposited to only one account, or
Check the box on line 43a and attach Form 8888 if you
want to split the direct deposit of your refund into more than
one account or use all or part of your refund to buy paper series
I savings bonds.
If you do not want your refund directly deposited to your account, do not check the box on line 43a. Draw a line through
the boxes on lines 43b and 43d. We will send you a check instead.
Do not request a deposit of any part of your refund to an account that is not in your name, such as your tax preparer's account.
Why Use Direct Deposit?
You get your refund faster by direct deposit than you do
by check.
Payment is more secure. There is no check that can get
lost or stolen.
It is more convenient. You do not have to make a trip to
the bank to deposit your check.
It saves tax dollars. It costs the government less to refund
by direct deposit.

!

CAUTION

If you file a joint return and check the box on line 43a
and attach Form 8888 or fill in lines 43b through
43d, your spouse may get at least part of the refund.

IRA. You can have your refund directly deposited to a traditional IRA, Roth IRA, or SEP-IRA, but not a SIMPLE IRA.
You must establish the IRA at a bank or other financial institution before you request direct deposit. Make sure your direct
deposit will be accepted. You must also notify the trustee or
custodian of your account of the year to which the deposit is to

TIP
TreasuryDirect®. You can request a deposit of your refund
(or part of it) to a TreasuryDirect® online account to buy U.S.
Treasury marketable securities and savings bonds. For more information, go to www.treasurydirect.gov.
Form 8888. You can have your refund directly deposited into
more than one account or use it to buy up to $5,000 in paper
series I savings bonds. You do not need a TreasuryDirect® account to do this. For more information, see the Form 8888 instructions.
Line 43a. You cannot file Form 8888 to split your refund into
more than one account or buy paper series I savings bonds if
Form 8379 is filed with your return.
Line 43b. The routing number must be nine digits. The first
two digits must be 01 through 12 or 21 through 32. On the
sample check below, the routing number is 250250025. Henry
and Naomi Brown would use that routing number unless their
financial institution instructed them to use a different routing
number for direct deposits.
Ask your financial institution for the correct routing number
to enter on line 43b if:
The routing number on a deposit slip is different from the
routing number on your checks,
Your deposit is to a savings account that does not allow
you to write checks, or
Your checks state they are payable through a financial institution different from the one at which you have your checking account.
Line 43c. Check the appropriate box for the type of account.
Do not check more than one box. If the deposit is to an account
such as an IRA, health savings account, brokerage account, or
other similar account, ask your financial institution whether
you should check the “Checking” or “Savings” box. You must
check the correct box to ensure your deposit is accepted. For a
TreasuryDirect® online account, check the “Savings” box.

If any of the following apply, your direct deposit request will
be rejected and a check will be sent instead.
Any numbers or letters on lines 43b through 43d are
crossed out or whited out.
Your financial institution(s) will not allow a joint refund
to be deposited to an individual account. The IRS is not responsible if a financial institution rejects a direct deposit.

financial institution to get the correct routing and account numbers and to make sure your direct deposit will be accepted.

!

Line 44
Amount Applied to Your 2014 Estimated Tax
Enter on line 44 the amount, if any, of the overpayment on
line 42 you want applied to your 2014 estimated tax. We will
apply this amount to your account unless you include a statement requesting us to apply it to your spouse's account. Include
your spouse's social security number in the statement.

!

CAUTION

To save interest and penalties, pay your taxes in full
by April 15, 2014. You do not have to pay if line 45 is
under $1.

Include any estimated tax penalty from line 46 in the amount
you enter on line 45.
You can pay online, by phone, or by check or money order.
Do not include any estimated tax payment for 2014 in this payment. Instead, make the estimated tax payment separately.
Bad check or payment. The penalty for writing a bad check
to the IRS is $25 or 2% of the check, whichever is more. However, if the amount of the check is less than $25, the penalty
equals the amount of the check. This penalty also applies to
other forms of payment if the IRS does not receive the funds.
Use TeleTax topic 206.
Pay online. Paying online is convenient and secure and helps
make sure we get your payments on time. You can pay using
either of the following electronic payment methods.
Direct transfer from your bank account.
Credit or debit card.
To pay your taxes online or for more information, go to
www.irs.gov/e-pay. Also see Amount You Owe, earlier, for information about the Electronic Funds Withdrawal payment option offered when e-filing your return.
Pay by phone. Paying by phone is another safe and secure
method of paying electronically. Use one of the following
methods.
Direct transfer from your bank account.
Credit or debit card.
To pay by direct transfer from your bank account, call
1-800-555-4477 (English) or 1-800-244-4829 (Español). People who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability
and who have access to TTY/TDD equipment can call
1-800-733-4829.
To pay using a credit or debit card, you can call one of the
following service providers. There is a convenience fee charged by these providers that varies by provider, card type, and
payment amount.

This election to apply part or all of the amount overpaid to your 2014 estimated tax cannot be changed
later.

If you cannot pay the full amount shown on line 45 when you
file, you can ask for:
An installment agreement, or
An extension of time to pay.
Installment agreement. Under an installment agreement, you
can pay all or part of the tax you owe in monthly installments.
However, even if your request to pay in installments is granted,
you will be charged interest and may be charged a late payment
penalty on the tax not paid by April 15, 2014. You must also
pay a fee. To limit the interest and penalty charges, pay as
much of the tax as possible when you file. But before requesting an installment agreement, you should consider other less
costly alternatives, such as a bank loan or credit card payment.
To ask for an installment agreement, you can apply online
or use Form 9465. To apply online, go to IRS.gov and click on
“Tools” and then “Online Payment Agreement.”
Extension of time to pay. If paying the tax when it is due
would cause you an undue hardship, you can ask for an extension of time to pay by filing Form 1127 by April 15, 2014. An
extension generally will not be granted for more than 6 months.
If you pay after April 15, 2014, you will be charged interest on
the tax not paid by April 15, 2014. You must pay the tax before
the extension runs out. If you do not, penalties may be imposed.

Need more information or forms? Visit IRS.gov.

You may owe this penalty if:
Line 45 is at least $1,000 and it is more than 10% of the
tax shown on your return, or
You did not pay enough estimated tax by any of the due
dates. This is true even if you are due a refund.
For most people, the “tax shown on your return” is the
amount on your 2013 Form 1040A, line 35, minus the total of
any amounts shown on lines 38a, 39, and 40.
Exception. You will not owe the penalty if your 2012 tax return was for a tax year of 12 full months and either of the following applies.
1. You had no tax shown on your 2012 return and you
were a U.S. citizen or resident for all of 2012.
2. The total of lines 36, 37, and any excess social security
and tier 1 RRTA tax included on line 41 on your 2013 return is
at least 100% of the tax shown on your 2012 return (110% of
that amount if you are not a farmer or fisherman and your adjusted gross income (AGI) shown on your 2012 return was
more than $150,000 (more than $75,000 if married filing separately for 2013)). Your estimated tax payments for 2013 must
have been made on time and for the required amount.
For most people, the “tax shown on your 2012 return” is the
amount on your 2012 Form 1040A, line 35, minus the total of
any amounts shown on lines 38a, 39, and 40.
Figuring the penalty. If the Exception just described does not
apply and you choose to figure the penalty yourself, use Form
2210.
Enter any penalty on line 46. Add the penalty to any tax due
and enter the total on line 45. However, if you have an overpayment on line 42, subtract the penalty from the amount you
would otherwise enter on line 43a or 44. Lines 43a, 44, and 46
must equal line 42.
If the penalty is more than the overpayment on line 42, enter -0- on lines 43a and 44. Then subtract line 42 from line 46
and enter the result on line 45.
Do not file Form 2210 with your return unless Form 2210
indicates that you must do so. Instead, keep it for your records.
Because Form 2210 is complicated, you can leave
line 46 blank and the IRS will figure the penalty and
send you a bill. We will not charge you interest on the
penalty if you pay by the date specified on the bill. If your income varied during the year, the annualized income installment method may reduce the amount of your penalty. But you
must file Form 2210 because the IRS cannot figure your penalty under this method. See the Instructions for Form 2210 for
other situations in which you may be able to lower your penalty by filing Form 2210.

Third Party Designee

Electronic Return Signatures!

If you want to allow your preparer, a friend, family member, or
any other person you choose to discuss your 2013 tax return
with the IRS, check the “Yes” box in the “Third party designee” area of your return. Also, enter the designee's name,
phone number, and any five digits the designee chooses as his
or her personal identification number (PIN).
If you check the “Yes” box, you, and your spouse if filing a
joint return, are authorizing the IRS to call the designee to answer any questions that may arise during the processing of your
return. You are also authorizing the designee to:
Give the IRS any information that is missing from your
return,
Call the IRS for information about the processing of your
return or the status of your refund or payment(s),
Receive copies of notices or transcripts related to your return, upon request, and
Respond to certain IRS notices about math errors, offsets,
and return preparation.
You are not authorizing the designee to receive any refund
check, bind you to anything (including any additional tax liability), or otherwise represent you before the IRS. If you want
to expand the designee's authorization, see Pub. 947.
The authorization will automatically end no later than the
due date (without regard to extensions) for filing your 2014 tax
return. This is April 15, 2015, for most people.

To file your return electronically, you must sign the return
electronically using a personal identification number (PIN). If
you are filing online using software, you must use a Self-Select
PIN. If you are filing electronically using a tax practitioner,
you can use a Self-Select PIN or a Practitioner PIN.
Self-Select PIN. The Self-Select PIN method allows you to
create your own PIN. If you are married filing jointly, you and
your spouse will each need to create a PIN and enter these
PINs as your electronic signatures.
A PIN is any combination of five digits you choose except
five zeros. If you use a PIN, there is nothing to sign and nothing to mail—not even your Forms W-2.
To verify your identity, you will be prompted to enter your
adjusted gross income (AGI) from your originally filed 2012
federal income tax return, if applicable. Do not use your AGI
from an amended return (Form 1040X) or a math error correction made by IRS. AGI is the amount shown on your 2012
Form 1040, line 38; Form 1040A, line 22; or Form 1040EZ,
line 4. If you do not have your 2012 income tax return, call the
IRS at 1-800-908-9946 to get a free transcript of your return or
visit IRS.gov and click on “Order a Return or Account Transcript.” (If you filed electronically last year, you may use your
prior year PIN to verify your identity instead of your prior year
AGI. The prior year PIN is the five digit PIN you used to electronically sign your 2012 return.) You will also be prompted to
enter your date of birth (DOB).

Sign Your Return

!

You cannot use the Self-Select PIN method if you are
a first-time filer under age 16 at the end of 2013.

CAUTION

Form 1040A is not considered a valid return unless you sign it.
If you are filing a joint return, your spouse must also sign. If
your spouse cannot sign the return, see Pub. 501. Be sure to
date your return and enter your occupation(s). If you have
someone prepare your return, you are still responsible for the
correctness of the return. If your return is signed by a representative for you, you must have a power of attorney attached that
specifically authorizes the representative to sign your return.
To do this, you can use Form 2848. If you are filing a joint return as a surviving spouse, see Death of a taxpayer, later.
Court-appointed conservator, guardian, or other fiduciary.
If you are a court-appointed conservator, guardian, or other fiduciary for a mentally or physically incompetent individual
who has to file Form 1040A, sign your name for the individual
and file Form 56.
Child's return. If your child cannot sign the return, either parent can sign the child's name in the space provided. Then, enter “By (your signature), parent for minor child.”
Daytime phone number. Providing your daytime phone number may help speed the processing of your return. We may
have questions about items on your return, such as the earned
income credit, credit for child and dependent care expenses,
etc. If you answer our questions over the phone, we may be
able to continue processing your return without mailing you a

If you cannot locate your prior year AGI or prior
year PIN use the Electronic Filing PIN Request. This
can be found at IRS.gov. Click on “Request an Electronic Filing PIN.” Or you can call 1-866-704-7388.

TIP

Practitioner PIN. The Practitioner PIN method allows you to
authorize your tax practitioner to enter or generate your PIN.
The practitioner can provide you with details.
Form 8453. You must send in a paper Form 8453 if you have
to attach certain forms or other documents that cannot be electronically filed. For details, see Form 8453.
Identity Protection PIN. For 2013, if you received an Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) from the
IRS, enter it in the IP PIN spaces provided below your daytime
phone number. You must correctly enter all six numbers of
your IP PIN. If you did not receive an IP PIN, leave these
spaces blank.

!

CAUTION

New IP PINs are issued every year. Enter the latest
IP PIN you received. IP PINs for 2013 tax returns
generally were sent in December 2013.

If you are filing a joint return and both taxpayers receive an
IP PIN, only the taxpayer whose social security number (SSN)
appears first on the tax return should enter his or her IP PIN.

Need more information or forms? Visit IRS.gov.

However, if you are filing electronically, both taxpayers must
enter their IP PINs.
If you need more information or answers to frequently asked
questions on how to use the IP PIN, go to www.irs.gov/

forms they support and attach them last. Do not attach correspondence or other items unless required to do so. Attach a
copy of your Form(s) W-2 to the front of Form 1040A. If you
received a Form W-2c (a corrected Form W-2), attach a copy
of your original Form(s) W-2 and any Form(s) W-2c.

Paid preparer must sign your return. Generally, anyone you
pay to prepare your return must sign it and include their Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) in the space provided.
The preparer must give you a copy of the return for your records. Someone who prepares your return but does not charge
you should not sign your return.

Tax Table

Example. Mr. and Mrs. Green are filing a joint return. Their taxable income
on Form 1040A, line 27, is $25,300. First, they find the $25,300–25,350
taxable income line. Next, they find the column for married filing jointly and
read down the column. The amount shown where the taxable income line
and filing status column meet is $2,906. This is the tax amount they should
enter on Form 1040A, line 28.

General
Information

The IRS Mission. Provide America's taxpayers top quality service by helping them
understand and meet their tax responsibilities and by applying the tax law with integrity and fairness to all.

How to avoid common mistakes. Mistakes can delay your refund or result in notices being sent to you.
Make sure you entered the correct name and social security number (SSN) for each dependent you claim on line 6c.
Check that each dependent's name and SSN agrees with his or
her social security card. For each child under age 17 who is a
qualifying child for the child tax credit, make sure you checked
the box in line 6c, column (4).
Check your math, especially for the earned income credit
(EIC), child tax credit, taxable social security benefits, deduction for exemptions, taxable income, federal income tax withheld, total tax, and refund or amount you owe.
Be sure you used the correct method to figure your tax.
See the instructions for line 28.
Be sure to enter your SSN in the space provided on page 1
of Form 1040A. If you are married filing a joint or separate return, also enter your spouse's SSN. Be sure to enter your SSN
in the space next to your name. Check that your name and SSN
agree with your social security card.
Make sure your name and address are correct. Enter your
(and your spouse's) name in the same order as shown on your
last return.
If you live in an apartment, be sure to include your apartment number in your address.
See the instructions for line 24 to be sure you entered the
correct amount for the standard deduction.
If you are taking the EIC, be sure you used the correct
column of the EIC Table for your filing status and the number
of children you have.
Remember to sign and date Form 1040A and enter your
occupation(s).
Attach your Form(s) W-2 and any other required forms
and schedules. Put all forms and schedules in the proper order.
See Assemble Your Return, earlier.
If you owe tax and are paying by check or money order,
be sure to include all the required information on your payment. See the instructions for line 45 for details.
Do not file more than one original return for the same
year, even if you have not gotten your refund or have not heard
from the IRS since you filed. Filing more than one original return for the same year, or sending in more than one copy of the
same return (unless we ask you to do so), could delay your refund.
What are your rights as a taxpayer? You have the right to
be treated fairly, professionally, promptly, and courteously by
IRS employees. Our goal at the IRS is to protect your rights so
that you will have the highest confidence in the integrity, efficiency, and fairness of our tax system. To ensure that you always receive such treatment, you should know about the many

rights you have at each step of the tax process. For details, see
Pub. 1.
Innocent spouse relief. Generally, both you and your spouse
are each responsible for paying the full amount of tax, interest,
and penalties on your joint return. However, you may qualify
for relief from liability for tax on a joint return if (a) there is an
understatement of tax because your spouse omitted income or
claimed false deductions or credits, (b) you are divorced, separated, or no longer living with your spouse, or (c) given all the
facts and circumstances, it would not be fair to hold you liable
for the tax. You may also qualify for relief if you were a married resident of a community property state, but did not file a
joint return and are now liable for an underpaid or understated
tax. File Form 8857 to request relief. In some cases, Form 8857
may need to be filed within 2 years of the date on which the
IRS first attempted to collect the tax from you. Do not file
Form 8857 with your Form 1040A. For more information, see
Pub. 971 and Form 8857 or you can call the Innocent Spouse
office toll-free at 1-855-851-2009.
How long should records be kept? Keep a copy of your tax
return, worksheets you used, and records of all items appearing
on it (such as Forms W-2 and 1099) until the statute of limitations runs out for that return. Usually, this is 3 years from the
date the return was due or filed or 2 years from the date the tax
was paid, whichever is later. You should keep some records
longer. For example, keep property records as long as they are
needed to figure the basis of the original or replacement property. For more details, see chapter 1 of Pub. 17.
Income tax withholding and estimated tax payments for
2014. If the amount you owe or the amount you overpaid is
large, you may want to file a new Form W-4 with your employer to change the amount of income tax withheld from your
2014 pay. For details on how to complete Form W-4, see Pub.
505. If you have pension or annuity income, use Form W-4P. If
you receive certain government payments (such as unemployment compensation or social security benefits) you can have
tax withheld from those payments by giving the payer Form
W-4V.
You can use the IRS Withholding Calculator at
www.irs.gov/Individuals/IRS-Withholding-Calculator,
instead of Pub. 505 or the worksheets included with
Form W-4 or W-4P, to determine whether you need to have
your withholding increased or decreased.

TIP

In general, you do not have to make estimated tax payments
if you expect that your 2014 tax return will show a tax refund,
or a tax balance due of less than $1,000. If your total estimated
tax for 2014 is $1,000 or more, see Form 1040-ES and Pub.

-73-

Need more information or forms? Visit IRS.gov.

505 for a worksheet you can use to see if you have to make estimated tax payments. See Pub. 505 for more details.
How do you amend your tax return? File Form 1040X to
change a return you already filed. Generally, Form 1040X must
be filed within 3 years after the date the original return was
filed or within 2 years after the date the tax was paid, whichever is later. But you may have more time to file Form 1040X if
you live in a federally declared disaster area or you are physically or mentally unable to manage your financial affairs. See
Pub. 556 for details.
How do you make a gift to reduce debt held by the public?
If you wish to do so, make a check payable to “Bureau of the
Fiscal Service.” You can send it to: Bureau of the Fiscal Service, Attn: Dept. G, P.O. Box 2188, Parkersburg, WV
26106-2188. Or you can enclose the check with your income
tax return when you file. In the memo section of the check,
make a note that it is a gift to reduce the debt held by the public. Do not add your gift to any tax you may owe. See the instructions for line 45 for details on how to pay any tax you
owe. Go to www.publicdebt.treas.gov/index1.htm for information on how to make this type of gift online.

TIP

If you itemize your deductions for 2014, you may be
able to deduct this gift.

Secure your tax records from identity theft. Identity theft
occurs when someone uses your personal information such as
your name, social security number (SSN), or other identifying
information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other
crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may
file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.
To reduce your risk:
Protect your SSN,
Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and
Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.
If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name
and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter. For more
information, see Pub. 4535.
If your tax records are not currently affected by identity
theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse
or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, etc.,
contact the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at
1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.
Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic
harm or a systemic problem, or are seeking help in resolving
tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the National Taxpayer
Advocate helpline at 1-877-777-4778. People who are deaf,
hard of hearing, or have a speech disability and who have access to TTY/TDD equipment can call 1-800-829-4059. Deaf or
hard-of-hearing individuals can also contact the IRS through
relay services such as the Federal Relay Service available at
www.gsa.gov/fedrelay.

Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing
schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common form is the act of sending an email to
a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private
information that will be used for identity theft.
The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails.
Also, the IRS does not request detailed personal information
through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card,
bank, or other financial accounts.
If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the
IRS, forward this message to [email protected]. You may also
report misuse of the IRS name, logo, forms, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration
toll-free at 1-800-366-4484. People who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability and who have access to
TTY/TDD equipment can call 1-800-877-8339. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at
[email protected] or contact them at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or
1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338). People who are deaf, hard
of hearing, or have a speech disability and who have access to
TTY/TDD equipment can call 1-866-653-4261.
Visit IRS.gov and enter “identity theft” in the search box to
learn more about identity theft and how to reduce your risk.
Need a copy of your tax return? If you do, use Form 4506.
There is a fee for each return requested. See Form 4506 for the
current fee. If your main home, principal place of business, or
tax records are located in a federally declared disaster area, this
fee will be waived. If you want a free transcript of your tax return or account:
Use Form 4506-T or 4506T-EZ,
Visit IRS.gov and click on “Order a Return or Account
Transcript,” or
Call us at 1-800-908-9946.
Death of a taxpayer. If a taxpayer died before filing a return
for 2013, the taxpayer's spouse or personal representative may
have to file and sign a return for that taxpayer. A personal representative can be an executor, administrator, or anyone who is
in charge of the deceased taxpayer's property. If the deceased
taxpayer did not have to file a return but had tax withheld, a return must be filed to get a refund. The person who files the return must enter “Deceased,” the deceased taxpayer's name, and
the date of death across the top of the return. If this information
is not provided, it may delay the processing of the return.
If your spouse died in 2013 and you did not remarry in
2013, or if your spouse died in 2014 before filing a return for
2013, you can file a joint return. A joint return should show
your spouse's 2013 income before death and your income for
all of 2013. Enter “Filing as surviving spouse” in the area
where you sign the return. If someone else is the personal representative, he or she must also sign.
The surviving spouse or personal representative should
promptly notify all payers of income, including financial institutions, of the taxpayer's death. This will ensure the proper re-

-74-

porting of income earned by the taxpayer's estate or heirs. A
deceased taxpayer's social security number should not be used
for tax years after the year of death, except for estate tax return
purposes.
Claiming a refund for a deceased taxpayer. If you are filing a joint return as a surviving spouse, you only need to file
the tax return to claim the refund. If you are a court-appointed
representative, file the return and include a copy of the certificate that shows your appointment. All other filers requesting
the deceased taxpayer's refund must file the return and attach
Form 1310.
For more details, use TeleTax topic 356 or see Pub. 559.
Past due returns. If you or someone you know needs to file
past due tax returns, use TeleTax topic 153 or go to
www.irs.gov/individuals for help in filing those returns. Send
the return to the address that applies to you in the latest Form
1040A instructions. For example, if you are filing a 2010 return
in 2014, use the address at the end of these instructions. However, if you got an IRS notice, mail the return to the address in

Whether it's help with a tax issue, preparing your tax return or
a need for a free publication or form, get the help you need the
way you want it: online, with a smart phone, or by calling or
walking into an IRS office or volunteer site near you.
Free help with your tax return. You can get free help preparing your return nationwide from IRS-certified volunteers.
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program helps
low-to-moderate income, elderly, people with disabilities, and
limited English proficient taxpayers. The Tax Counseling for
the Elderly (TCE) program helps taxpayers age 60 and older
with their tax returns. Most VITA and TCE sites offer free
electronic filing and all volunteers will let you know about
credits and deductions you may be entitled to claim. In addition, some VITA and TCE sites provide taxpayers the opportunity to prepare their own return with help from an IRS-certified
volunteer. To find the nearest VITA or TCE site, you can use
the VITA Locator Tool on IRS.gov, download the IRS2Go
app, or call 1-800-906-9887.
As part of the TCE program, AARP offers the Tax-Aide
counseling program. To find the nearest AARP Tax-Aide site,
visit AARP's website at www.aarp.org/money/taxaide or call
1-888-227-7669. For more information on these programs, go

Internet. IRS.gov and IRS2Go are ready when you are—24

follow the IRS Twitter news feed, @IRSnews, to get the latest
federal tax news, including information about tax law changes
and important IRS programs.

Check the status of your 2013 refund with the Where's My
Refund? application on IRS.gov or download the IRS2Go app
and select the Refund Status option. The IRS issues more than
9 out of 10 refunds in less than 21 days. Using these applications, you can start checking on the status of your return within
24 hours after we receive your e-filed return or 4 weeks after
you mail a paper return. You will also be given a personalized
refund date as soon as the IRS processes your tax return and
approves your refund. The IRS updates Where's My Refund?
every 24 hours, usually overnight, so you only need to check
once a day.
Use the Interactive Tax Assistant (ITA) to research your
tax questions. No need to wait on the phone or stand in line.
The ITA is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and provides you with a variety of tax information related to general
filing topics, deductions, credits, and income. When you reach
the response screen, you can print the entire interview and the
final response for your records. New subject areas are added on
a regular basis.
Answers not provided through ITA may be found in Tax
Trails, one of the Tax Topics on IRS.gov which contain general individual and business tax information or by searching the
IRS Tax Map, which includes an international subject index.
You can use the IRS Tax Map to search publications and instructions by topic or keyword. The IRS Tax Map integrates
forms and publications into one research tool and provides single-point access to tax law information by subject. When the
user searches the IRS Tax Map, they will be provided with
links to related content in existing IRS publications, forms and
instructions, questions and answers, and Tax Topics.
This filing season, you can immediately view and print
for free all 5 types of individual federal tax transcripts (tax returns, tax account, record of account, wage and income statement, and certification of non-filing) using Get Transcript. You
can also ask the IRS to mail a return or an account transcript to
you. Only the mail option is available by choosing the Tax Records option on the IRS2Go app, by selecting Mail Transcript
on IRS.gov, or by calling 1-800-908-9946. Tax return and tax
account transcripts are generally available for the current year

Interest and Penalties
You do not have to figure the amount of any interest or penalties you may owe. Because figuring these amounts can be complicated, we will do it for you if you want. We will send you a
bill for any amount due.
If you include interest or penalties (other than the estimated
tax penalty) with your payment, identify and enter the amount
in the bottom margin of Form 1040A, page 2. Do not include
interest or penalties (other than the estimated tax penalty) in the
amount you owe on line 45.

Interest
We will charge you interest on taxes not paid by their due date,
even if an extension of time to file is granted. We will also
charge you interest on penalties imposed for failure to file, negligence, fraud, substantial valuation misstatements, substantial

understatements of tax, and reportable transaction understatements. Interest is charged on the penalty from the due date of
the return (including extensions).

Penalties
Late filing. If you do not file your return by the due date (including extensions), the penalty is usually 5% of the amount
due for each month or part of a month your return is late, unless you have a reasonable explanation. If you do, include it
with your return. The penalty can be as much as 25% of the tax
due. The penalty is 15% per month, up to a maximum of 75%,
if the failure to file is fraudulent. If your return is more than 60
days late, the minimum penalty will be $135 or the amount of
any tax you owe, whichever is smaller.
Late payment of tax. If you pay your taxes late, the penalty is
usually 1 2 of 1% of the unpaid amount for each month or part of
a month the tax is not paid. The penalty can be as much as 25%
of the unpaid amount. It applies to any unpaid tax on the return.
This penalty is in addition to interest charges on late payments.
Frivolous return. In addition to any other penalties, the law
imposes a penalty of $5,000 for filing a frivolous return. A
frivolous return is one that does not contain information needed
to figure the correct tax or shows a substantially incorrect tax
because you take a frivolous position or desire to delay or interfere with the tax laws. This includes altering or striking out
the preprinted language above the space where you sign. For a
list of positions identified as frivolous, see Notice 2010-33,
2010-17 I.R.B. 609, available at
www.irs.gov/irb/2010-17_IRB/ar13.html.
Other. Other penalties can be imposed for negligence, substantial understatement of tax, reportable transaction understatements, filing an erroneous refund claim, and fraud. Criminal penalties may be imposed for willful failure to file, tax
evasion, or making a false statement, or identity theft. See Pub.
17 for details on some of these penalties.

will generally be available within 24 hours after the IRS receives your e-filed return or 4 weeks after you mail a paper return. But if you filed Form 8379 with your return, allow 14
weeks (11 weeks if you filed electronically) before checking
your refund status.
To use Where's My Refund? have a copy of your tax
return handy. You will need to enter the following information from your return:
Your social security number (or individual taxpayer identification number),
Your filing status, and
The exact whole dollar amount of your refund.
Where's My Refund? includes a tracker that displays progress through three stages: (1) return received, (2) refund approved, and (3) refund sent. Where's My Refund? will provide
an actual personalized refund date as soon as the IRS processes
your tax return and approves your refund.

You can check the status of your refund on the free

week, for automated refund information. Our live phone and
walk-in assistors can research the status of your refund only if
it's been 21 days or more since you filed electronically or more
than 6 weeks since you mailed your paper return.
Do not send in a copy of your return unless asked to do so.

years from the date the return was due (including extensions).

complete answers to your questions by having the following information available.

The facts about your particular situation. The answer to
the same question often varies from one taxpayer to another because of differences in their age, income, whether they can be

To maintain your account security, you may be asked for the
following information, which you should also have available.

a customer satisfaction survey.

On or before the first Monday in February of each year the President is required by law to submit to the Congress a budget proposal for the fiscal year that begins the following October. The
budget plan sets forth the President's proposed receipts, spending, and the surplus or deficit for the Federal Government. The
plan includes recommendations for new legislation as well as
recommendations to change, eliminate, and add programs. After
receipt of the President's proposal, the Congress reviews the
proposal and makes changes. It first passes a budget resolution
setting its own targets for receipts, outlays, and surplus or deficit. Next, individual spending and revenue bills that are consistent with the goals of the budget resolution are enacted.
In fiscal year 2012 (which began on October 1, 2011, and
ended on September 30, 2012), Federal income was $2.45 trillion and outlays were $3.537 trillion, leaving a deficit of $1.087
trillion.

21%

2. National defense, veterans, and foreign affairs: About
19% of outlays were to equip, modernize, and pay our armed
forces and to fund national defense activities; 3% were for veterans benefits and services; and about 1% were for international
activities, including military and economic assistance to foreign
countries and the maintenance of United States embassies
abroad.
3. Physical, human, and community development: These
outlays were for agriculture; natural resources; environment;
transportation; aid for elementary and secondary education and
direct assistance to college students; job training; deposit insurance, commerce and housing credit, and community development; and space, energy, and general science programs.
4. Social programs: About 14% of total outlays were for
Medicaid, food stamps, temporary assistance for needy families,
supplemental security income, and related programs; and the remaining outlays were for health research and public health programs, unemployment compensation, assisted housing, and social services.

1. Social security, Medicare, and other retirement: These
programs provide income support for the retired and disabled
and medical care for the elderly.

Note. The percentages shown here exclude undistributed offsetting receipts, which were $104 billion in fiscal year 2012. In the budget, these receipts are offset against spending in figuring the outlay totals shown above.
These receipts are for the U.S. Government's share of its employee retirement programs, rents and royalties on the Outer Continental Shelf, and proceeds from the sale of assets.
