Instructions for 1040

Note: The draft you are looking for begins on the next page.

Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING

This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or publication,
which the IRS is providing for your information. Do not file draft forms and do
not rely on draft forms, instructions, and pubs for filing. We incorporate all
significant changes to forms posted with this coversheet. However, unexpected
issues occasionally arise, or legislation is passed—in this case, we will post a
new draft of the form to alert users that changes were made to the previously
posted draft. Thus, there are never any changes to the last posted draft of a
form and the final revision of the form. Forms and instructions are subject to
OMB approval before they can be officially released, so we post drafts of them
until they are approved. Drafts of instructions and pubs usually have some
additional changes before their final release. Early release drafts are at
IRS.gov/DraftForms and remain there after the final release is posted at
IRS.gov/LatestForms. Also see IRS.gov/Forms.
Most forms and publications have a page on IRS.gov: IRS.gov/Form1040 for
Form 1040; IRS.gov/Pub501 for Pub. 501; IRS.gov/W4 for Form W-4; and
IRS.gov/ScheduleA for Schedule A (Form 1040), for example, and similarly for
other forms, pubs, and schedules for Form 1040. When typing in a link, type it
into the address bar of your browser, not a Search box on IRS.gov.
If you wish, you can submit comments to the IRS about draft or final forms,
instructions, or pubs at IRS.gov/FormsComments. Include “NTF” followed by the
form or pub number (for example, “NTF1040”, “NTFW4”, “NTF501, etc.) in the
body of the message to route your message properly. We cannot respond to all
comments due to the high volume we receive and may not be able to consider
many suggestions until the subsequent revision of the product, but we will
review each “NTF” message. If you have comments on reducing paperwork and
respondent (filer) burden, with respect to draft or final forms, please respond to
the relevant information collection through the Federal Register process; for
more info, click here.

You may only need to file Form 1040 or 1040-SR and none of the numbered schedules, Schedules 1 through
3. However, if your return is more complicated (for example, you claim certain deductions or credits or owe
additional taxes), you will need to complete one or more of the numbered schedules. Below is a general guide
to which schedule(s) you will need to file based on your circumstances. See the instructions for the schedules
for more information.
If you e-file your return, the software you use will generally determine which schedules you need.

IF YOU...

THEN USE...

Have additional income, such as business or farm income or
loss, unemployment compensation, or prize or award money.

Schedule 1, Part I

interest, self-employment tax, or educator expenses.

Schedule 1, Part II

Owe alternative minimum tax (AMT) or need to make an
excess advance premium tax credit repayment.

or the credit for other dependents), such as the foreign tax credit,

The Taxpayer Advocate Service Is Here To Help You
What is the Taxpayer Advocate Service?
The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that helps
taxpayers and protects taxpayer rights. TAS strives to ensure that every taxpayer is treated fairly and that you know and
understand your rights under the Taxpayer Bill of Rights.

TREASURY/IRS
AND OMB USE
ONLY DRAFT
November 3, 2023

What can TAS do for you?
TAS can help you if your tax problem is causing a financial difficulty, you've tried and been unable to resolve your issue with the
IRS, or you believe an IRS system, process, or procedure just isn't working as it should. And the service is free. If you qualify
for TAS assistance, you will be assigned to one advocate who will work with you throughout the process and will do everything
possible to resolve your issue. TAS can help you if:
• Your problem is causing a financial difficulty for you, your family, or your business.
• You face (or your business is facing) an immediate threat of adverse action.
• You’ve tried to contact the IRS but no one has responded, or the IRS hasn’t responded by the date promised.
How can you reach TAS?
TAS has offices in every state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. To find your advocate’s number:
• Go to TaxpayerAdvocate.IRS.gov/contact-us;
• Download Publication 1546, Taxpayer Advocate Service Is Your Voice at the IRS. If you do not have Internet access, you
can call the IRS toll free at 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676) and ask for a copy of Publication 1546;
• Check your local directory; or
• Call TAS toll free at 877-777-4778.
How can you learn about your taxpayer rights?
The Taxpayer Bill of Rights describes 10 basic rights that all taxpayers have when dealing with the IRS. The TAS website
TaxpayerAdvocate.IRS.gov can help you understand what these rights mean to you and how they apply. These are your rights.
Know them. Use them.

How else does TAS help taxpayers?
TAS works to resolve large-scale problems that affect many taxpayers. If you know of one of these broad issues, please report it
to TAS at IRS.gov/SAMS. Be sure not to include any personal taxpayer information.
Low Income Taxpayer Clinics Help Taxpayers
Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs) are independent from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Taxpayer Advocate
Service (TAS). LITCs represent individuals whose income is below a certain level and who need to resolve tax problems with
the IRS. LITCs can represent taxpayers in audits, appeals, and tax collection disputes before the IRS and in court. In addition,
LITCs can provide information about taxpayer rights and responsibilities in different languages for individuals who speak
English as a second language. Services are offered for free or a small fee. For more information or to find an LITC near you, see
the LITC page at TaxpayerAdvocate.IRS.gov/LITCMap or IRS Publication 4134, Low Income Taxpayer Clinic List. This
publication is available online at IRS.gov/Forms-Pubs or by calling the IRS toll free at 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).

Suggestions for Improving the IRS
Taxpayer Advocacy Panel
Taxpayers have an opportunity to provide direct feedback to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) through the Taxpayer Advocacy
Panel (TAP). The TAP is a Federal Advisory Committee comprised of an independent panel of citizen volunteers who listen to
taxpayers, identify taxpayers' systemic issues, and make suggestions for improving IRS customer service. Contact TAP at
ImproveIRS.org.

Affordable Care Act — What You Need To Know
Requirement To Reconcile Advance Payments of the Premium Tax Credit
The premium tax credit helps pay premiums for health insurance purchased from the Marketplace. Eligible
individuals may have advance payments of the premium tax credit made on their behalf directly to the insurance
company.

TREASURY/IRS
AND OMB USE
ONLY DRAFT
November 3, 2023

If you or a family member enrolled in health insurance through the Marketplace and advance payments of the
premium tax credit were made to your insurance company to reduce your monthly premium payment, you must attach
Form 8962 to your return to reconcile (compare) the advance payments with your premium tax credit for the year.
The Marketplace is required to send Form 1095-A by January 31, 2024, listing the advance payments and other
information you need to complete Form 8962.
1. You will need Form 1095-A from the Marketplace.

2. Complete Form 8962 to claim the credit and to reconcile your advance credit payments.

3. Include Form 8962 with your Form 1040, Form 1040-SR, or Form 1040-NR. (Don’t include Form 1095-A.)

Health Coverage Reporting

If you or someone in your family was an employee in 2023, the employer may be required to send you Form
1095-C. Part II of Form 1095-C shows whether your employer offered you health insurance coverage and, if
so, information about the offer. You should receive Form 1095-C by early March 2024. This information may be
relevant if you purchased health insurance coverage for 2023 through the Health Insurance Marketplace and
wish to claim the premium tax credit on Schedule 3, line 9. However, you don’t need to wait to receive this form
to file your return. You may rely on other information received from your employer. If you don’t wish to claim the
premium tax credit for 2023, you don’t need the information in Part II of Form 1095-C. For more information on
who is eligible for the premium tax credit, see the Instructions for Form 8962.

Reminder: Health care coverage. If you need health care coverage, go to www.HealthCare.gov to learn about
health insurance options for you and your family, how to buy health insurance, and how you might qualify to get
financial assistance to buy health insurance.

Form 8962.
Exception for certain children under
age 19 or full-time students. If certain
conditions apply, you can elect to include on your return the income of a
child who was under age 19 at the end

child.

Resident aliens. These rules also apply
if you were a resident alien. Also, you
may qualify for certain tax treaty benefits. Generally, you are a resident alien if
you meet either the green card test or the

When and Where
Should You File?
File Form 1040 or 1040-SR by April 15,
2024. If you live in Maine or Massachusetts, you have until April 17, because of
the Patriots’ Day and Emancipation Day
holidays. If you file after this date, you
may have to pay interest and penalties.
See Interest and Penalties, later.

-8-

If you were serving in, or in support
of, the U.S. Armed Forces in a designated combat zone or contingency operation, you may be able to file later. See
Pub. 3 for details.

If you e-file your return, there is no
need to mail it. However, if you choose
to mail it instead, filing instructions and
addresses are at the end of these instructions.
The chart at the end of these in-

TIP structions provides the current

address for mailing your return. Use these addresses for Forms
1040 or 1040-SR filed in 2024. The address for returns filed after 2024 may be
different. See IRS.gov/Form1040 for any
updates.

What if You Can't 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. If you
want to apply for an extension electronically, see Form 4868 for details.
An automatic 6-month extension to file doesn't extend the
CAUTION time to pay your tax. If you
don’t pay your tax by the original due
date of your return, you will owe interest
on the unpaid tax and may owe penalties. See Form 4868.

!

If you are a U.S. citizen or resident
alien, you may qualify for an automatic
extension of time to file without filing
Form 4868. You qualify if, on the due
date of your return, you meet one of the
following conditions.
• You live outside the United States
and Puerto Rico and your main place of
business or post of duty is outside the
United States and Puerto Rico.
• You are in military or naval service
on duty outside the United States and
Puerto Rico.
This extension gives you an extra 2
months to file and pay the tax, but inter-

est 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
17, 2024, you file Form 4868. This
4-month extension of time to file doesn't
extend the time to pay your tax. See
Form 4868.

you lived with your spouse at any time in 2023, or (b) one-half of your social security benefits plus your other gross
income and any tax-exempt interest is more than $25,000 ($32,000 if married filing jointly). If (a) or (b) applies, see the
instructions for lines 6a and 6b to figure the taxable part of social security benefits you must include in gross income.
Gross income includes gains, but not losses, reported on Form 8949 or Schedule D. Gross income from a business means,
for example, the amount on Schedule C, line 7, or Schedule F, line 9. But, in figuring gross income, don’t reduce your
income by any losses, including any loss on Schedule C, line 7, or Schedule F, line 9.
***If you didn't live with your spouse at the end of 2023 (or on the date your spouse died) and your gross income was at
least $5, you must file a return regardless of your age.

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

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 SSA.gov/forms/ss-5.pdf, from
your local SSA office, or by calling the
SSA at 800-772-1213. It usually takes
about 2 weeks to get an SSN once the
SSA has all the evidence and information it needs.
Check that both the name and SSN
on your Forms 1040 or 1040-SR, W-2,
and 1099 agree with your social security
card. If they don’t, certain deductions

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.
Once you are issued an SSN, use it to
file your tax return. Use your SSN to file
your tax return even if your SSN does
not authorize employment or if you have
been issued an SSN that authorizes employment and you lose your employment authorization. An ITIN will not be
issued to you once you have been issued
an SSN. If you received your SSN after
previously using an ITIN, stop using
your ITIN. Use your SSN instead.

IRS Individual Taxpayer
Identification Numbers
(ITINs) for Aliens
If you are a nonresident or resident alien
and you don’t have and aren’t eligible to
get an SSN, you must apply for an ITIN.
It takes about 7 weeks to get an ITIN.
If you already have an ITIN, enter it
wherever your SSN is requested on your
tax return.
Some ITINs must be renewed. If you
haven't used your ITIN on a federal tax
return at least once for tax years 2020,
2021, or 2022, it has expired and must
be renewed if you need to file a federal

return. This means that if one spouse
doesn't pay the tax due, the other may
have to. Or, if one spouse doesn't 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 isn't reporting all of their income, or

Digital Assets
Digital assets are any digital representations of value that are recorded on a
cryptographically secured distributed
ledger or any similar technology. For example, digital assets include non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and virtual currencies,
such as cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. If a particular asset has the characteristics of a digital asset, it will be
treated as a digital asset for federal income tax purposes.

question on digital assets on page 1 of
Form 1040 or 1040-SR if at any time
during 2023, you (a) received (as a reward, award, or payment for property or
services); or (b) sold, exchanged, or otherwise disposed of a digital asset (or any
financial interest in any digital asset).
For example, check “Yes” if at any
time during 2023 you:
• Received digital assets as payment
for property or services provided;
• Received digital assets as a result
of a reward or award;

You have a financial interest in a digital asset if you are the owner of record
of a digital asset, or have an ownership
stake in an account that holds one or
more digital assets, including the rights
and obligations to acquire a financial interest, or you own a wallet that holds
digital assets.

The following actions or transactions
in 2023, alone, generally don’t require
you to check “Yes”:
• Holding a digital asset in a wallet
or account;
• Transferring a digital asset from
one wallet or account you own or control to another wallet or account that you
own or control; or
• Purchasing digital assets using
U.S. or other real currency, including
through the use of electronic platforms
such as PayPal and Venmo.
Do not leave the question unanswered. You must answer “Yes” or “No”
by checking the appropriate box. For
more information, go to IRS.gov/

How To Report Digital Asset
Transactions
If, in 2023, you disposed of any digital
asset, which you held as a capital asset,
through a sale, trade, exchange, payment, or other transfer, check “Yes” and
use Form 8949 to calculate your capital
gain or loss and report that gain or loss
on Schedule D (Form 1040).
If you received any digital asset as
compensation for services or disposed of
any digital asset that you held for sale to
customers in a trade or business, you
must report the income as you would report other income of the same type (for
example, W-2 wages on Form 1040 or
1040-SR, line 1a, or inventory or services on Schedule C).

TIP you can find a Standard Deduction Chart on the last page of
that form that can calculate the amount
of your standard deduction in most situations.
Don’t file the Standard Deduction
Chart with your return.

Single and Married Filing
Jointly

If you or your spouse (if you are married
and filing a joint return) can be claimed
as a dependent on someone else’s return,
check the appropriate box in the Standard Deduction section.
If you are married and file a joint return, you can be claimed as a dependent
on someone else's return if you file the
joint return only to claim a refund of
withheld income tax or estimated tax
paid.
If you were a dual-status alien, check
the “Spouse itemizes on a separate return or you were a dual-status alien”
box. If you were a dual-status alien and
you file a joint return with your spouse
who was a U.S. citizen or resident alien
at the end of 2023 and you and your
spouse agree to be taxed on your combined worldwide income, don’t check
the box.

Example. Your spouse was born on
February 14, 1958, and died on February
13, 2023. Your spouse is considered age
65 at the time of death. Check the appropriate box for your spouse. However, if
your spouse died on February 12, 2023,
your spouse isn't considered age 65.
Don’t check the box.
Death of taxpayer in 2023. If you are
preparing a return for someone who died
in 2023, see Pub. 501 before completing
the standard deduction information.

Blindness
If you weren’t totally blind as of December 31, 2023, you must get a statement
certified by your eye doctor (ophthalmologist or optometrist) that:
• You can't see better than 20/200 in
your better eye with glasses or contact
lenses, or

You must keep the statement for your
records.

If you receive a notice or letter but
you would prefer to have it in Braille or
large print, you can use Form 9000, Alternative Media Preference, to request
notices in an alternative format including Braille, large print, audio, or electronic. You can attach Form 9000 to
your return or mail it separately.
• You can download, or view online,
tax forms and publications in a variety
of formats including text-only, Braille
ready files, browser-friendly HTML
(other than tax forms), accessible PDF,
and large print.

Married Filing Separately

If your filing status is married filing separately and your spouse itemizes deductions on their return, check the “Spouse
itemizes on a separate return or you
were a dual-status alien” box.

If your filing status is married filing
separately and your spouse was born before January 2, 1959, or was blind at the
end of 2023, you can check the appropriate box(es) on the line labeled “Age/
Blindness” if your spouse had no income, isn't filing a return, and can't be
claimed as a dependent on another person's return.

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 won't claim the child as a dependent.
3. The years for which the claim is released.

Children of divorced or separated parents. A child will be
treated as the qualifying child or qualifying relative of the
child’s 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 2023 (whether or not they are or
were married).
2. The child received over half of the child’s support for
2023 from the parents (and the rules on Multiple support agreements, later, don’t 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 2023.
4. Either of the following applies.
a. The custodial parent signs Form 8332 or a substantially
similar statement that they won't claim the child as a dependent
for 2023, and the noncustodial parent includes a copy of the
form or statement with their return. If the divorce decree or separation agreement went into effect after 1984 and before 2009,
the noncustodial parent may be able to include 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.
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 2023.
If conditions (1) through (4) apply, only the noncustodial parent can claim the child for purposes of the child tax credits and
credit for other dependents (lines 19 and 28). However, this
doesn't allow the noncustodial parent to claim head of household filing status, the credit for child and dependent care expenses, the exclusion for dependent care benefits, or the earned income credit. The custodial parent or another taxpayer, if eligible, can claim the child for the earned income credit and these
other benefits. 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 2023. 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

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 can't 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 certain tax
benefits for a child, and the noncustodial parent must include a
copy with their 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 certain tax benefits revoked. A custodial parent
who has revoked their previous release of a claim to certain tax
benefits for a child must include a copy of the revocation with
their 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; Step 4,
question 2; and Step 5, 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, later.
If the person meets all other requirements to be your qualifying child but was born or died in 2023, the person is considered
to have lived with you for more than half of 2023 if your home
was this person's home for more than half the time the person

was alive in 2023. If the person meets all other requirements to
be your qualifying child but you adopted the person in 2023, the
person was lawfully placed with you for legal adoption by you
in 2023, or the person was an eligible foster child placed with
you during 2023, the person is considered to have lived with
you for more than half of 2023 if your main home was this person's main home for more than half the time since the person
was adopted or placed with you in 2023.
Any other person is considered to have lived with you for all
of 2023 if the person was born or died in 2023 and your home
was this person's home for the entire time the person was alive
in 2023 or if you adopted the person in 2023, the person was
lawfully placed with you for legal adoption by you in 2023, or
the person was an eligible foster child placed with you during
2023 and your main home was the person's main home for the
entire time since the person was adopted or placed with you in

2. Head of household filing status.

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 isn't a
family member, you may be able to take the child into account
in determining your eligibility for head of household or qualifying surviving spouse filing status, the child tax credit, the credit
for other dependents, 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 can't claim that person as your dependent. However, if
the person is married but doesn't file a joint return or files a
joint return only to claim a refund of withheld income tax or estimated tax paid, you may be able to claim that person 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 2023, the person can't 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.
Public assistance payments. If you received payments under
the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program
or other public assistance program and you used the money to
support another person, see Pub. 501.
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

No other person can take any of the five tax benefits just listed
based on the qualifying child. If you and any other person can
claim the child as a qualifying child, the following rules apply.
For purposes of these rules, the term "parent" means a biological or adoptive parent of an individual. It doesn't include a stepparent or foster parent unless that person has adopted the individual.
• 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 don’t 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 2023. 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 2023.
• 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 2023.
• 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 2023, 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 child, J, meets the conditions to be a qualifying child for both you and your parent. J doesn't meet the conditions to be a qualifying child of any other person, including J’s
other parent. Under the rules just described, you can claim J as a
qualifying child for all of the five tax benefits just listed for
which you otherwise qualify. Your parent can't claim any of
those five tax benefits based on J. However, if your parent’s
AGI is higher than yours and you do not claim J as a qualifying
child, J is the qualifying child of your parent.
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 can't 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 reduce or disallow any
tax benefits (such as the child tax credit) based on that

dependent. If the name or SSN on the dependent's social security card isn't correct or you need to get an SSN for your dependent, contact the Social Security Administration (SSA). See Social Security Number (SSN), earlier. If your dependent won't
have a number by the date your return is due, see What if You
Can't File on Time? earlier.
For the child tax credit, your child must have the required
SSN. The required SSN is one that is valid for employment and
that is issued by the SSA before the due date of your 2023 return (including extensions). If your child was a U.S. citizen
when the child received the SSN, the SSN is valid for employment. If “Not Valid for Employment” is printed on your child’s
social security card and your child’s immigration status has
changed so that your child is now a U.S. citizen or permanent
resident, ask the SSA for a new social security card without the
legend. However, if “Valid for Work Only With DHS Authorization” is printed on your child’s social security card, your child
has the required SSN only as long as the DHS authorization is
valid.
If your dependent child was born and died in 2023 and you
do not have an SSN for the child, enter “Died” in column (2) of

the Dependents section and include a copy of the child's birth
certificate, death certificate, or hospital records. The document
must show the child was born alive.
If you, or your spouse if filing jointly, didn't have an SSN (or
ITIN) issued on or before the due date of your 2023 return (including extensions), you can't claim the child tax credit or the
credit for other dependents on your original or an amended
2023 return.
If you apply for an ITIN on or before the due date of your
2023 return (including extensions) and the IRS issues you an
ITIN as a result of the application, the IRS will consider your
ITIN as issued on or before the due date of your return.
Student. A student is a child who during any part of 5 calendar
months of 2023 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 doesn't include an
on-the-job training course, correspondence school, or school offering courses only through the Internet.

Although you don’t need to report the
income from the forgiveness of your
PPP Loan on Form 1040 or 1040-SR,
you do need to report certain information related to your PPP Loan as an attachment to your tax return. For more
information, 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. For details, see
Pub. 54 and Form 2555.
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,

you can elect to defer tax on the undistributed income.
Report distributions from foreign
pension plans on lines 5a and 5b.
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.
You may also have to file Form 3520.

If you are a debtor in a chapter 11 bankruptcy case, income taxable to the bankruptcy estate and reported on the estate's
income tax return includes:
• Earnings from services you performed after the beginning of the case
(both wages and self-employment income); and
• Income from property described in
section 541 of title 11 of the U.S. Code
that you either owned when the case began or that you acquired after the case
began and before the case was closed,
dismissed, or converted to a case under a
different chapter.

Because this income is taxable to the
estate, don’t include this income on your
own individual income tax return. The
only exception is for purposes of figuring your self-employment tax. For that
purpose, you must take into account all
your self-employment income for the
year from services performed both before and after the beginning of the case.
Also, you (or the trustee if one is appointed) must allocate between you and
the bankruptcy estate the wages, salary,
or other compensation and withheld income tax reported to you on Form W-2.
A similar allocation is required for income and withheld income tax reported
to you on Forms 1099. You must also include a statement that indicates you filed
a chapter 11 case and that explains how
income and withheld income tax reported to you on Forms W-2 and 1099 are
allocated between you and the estate.
For more details, including acceptable
allocation methods, see Notice 2006-83,
2006-40 I.R.B. 596, available at

Community Property States

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.

If you are entering amounts that include cents, make sure to include the
decimal point. There is no cents column

participating in efforts to clean up the
World Trade Center and you are eligible
for compensation by the September 11
Victim Compensation Fund. You began
receiving a disability pension at age 55
when you could no longer work due to
your disability. Under your pension plan
you are entitled to an early retirement
benefit of $2,500 a month at age 55. If
you wait until age 62, the normal retirement age under the plan, you would be
entitled to a normal retirement benefit of
$3,000 a month. The pension plan provides that a participant who retires early
on account of disability is entitled to receive the participant's normal retirement
benefit, which in your case equals
$3,000 a month. Until you turn age 62,
you can exclude $500 of your monthly
retirement benefit from income (the difference between the early retirement
benefit and the normal retirement benefit, $3,000 - $2,500) received on account
of disability. You must report the remaining $2,500 of monthly pension benefit as taxable. For each month after you
turn age 62, you must report the full
amount of the monthly pension benefit
($3,000 a month) as taxable.

Enter the total pension or annuity payments (from Form 1099-R, box 1) on
line 5a. If your Form 1099-R doesn't
show the taxable amount, you must use
the General Rule explained in Pub. 939
to figure the taxable part to enter on
line 5b. 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 5b. 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 who is retired
because of disability or because you
reached normal retirement age), 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. The premiums can be for coverage
for you, your spouse, or dependents. The
distribution must be from the plan maintained by the employer from which you
retired as a public safety officer. The
distribution can be made directly from
the plan to the provider of the accident
or health plan or long-term care insurance contract, or the distribution can be
made to you to pay 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 paid or $3,000. You can
make this election only for amounts that

You can exclude from income
only the smaller of the amount
CAUTION of
the premiums paid or
$3,000. This is true if the distribution
was made directly from the plan to the
provider of the accident or health plan
or long-term care insurance contract or
if the distribution was made to you and
you paid the provider of the accident or
health plan or long-term care insurance
contract. If you received a distribution
from your eligible retirement plan, and
you used part of that distribution to pay
premiums for an accident or health plan
or long-term care insurance contract,
you can still exclude from income only
the smaller of the amount of the premiums or $3,000. The rest of the distribution is taxable to you and must be reported on line 5b.

!

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 doesn't reflect the exclusion. Report your total distributions on line 5a
and the taxable amount on line 5b. Enter
“PSO” next to line 5b.
If you are retired on disability and reporting your disability pension on
line 1h, include only the taxable amount
on that line and enter “PSO” and the
amount excluded on the dotted line next
to line 1h.
Payments when you are disabled. If
you receive payments from a retirement
or profit-sharing plan that does not provide for disability retirement, do not
treat those payments as disability payments. The payments must be reported
as a pension or annuity.
You must include in your income any
amounts that you received that you
would have received in retirement had
you not become disabled as a result of a
terrorist attack. Include in your income
any payments you receive from a
401(k), pension, or other retirement plan
to the extent that you would have received the amount at the same or later

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 their 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 doesn't include pre-tax contributions. Your net investment may be
shown in box 9b of Form 1099-R.
Rollovers
Generally, a 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 rollover to a
Roth IRA or a designated Roth account
is generally not a tax-free distribution.
Use lines 5a and 5b to report a rollover,
including a direct rollover, from one
qualified employer's plan to another or
to an IRA or SEP.
Enter on line 5a 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

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 may owe an additional tax if you received an early distribution from a qualified retirement plan and the total amount
wasn't rolled over. For details, see the
instructions for Schedule 2, line 8.
Enter the total distribution on line 5a
and the taxable part on line 5b. For details, see Pub. 575.

Disability payments. Don’t include in
your income any disability payments
(including Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments) you receive
for injuries incurred as a direct result of
a terrorist attack directed against the
United States (or its allies), whether outside or within the United States. In the
case of the September 11 attacks, injuries eligible for coverage by the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund are
treated as incurred as a direct result of
the attack. If these payments are incorrectly reported as taxable on Form
SSA-1099, don't include the nontaxable
portion of income on your tax return.
You may receive a notice from the IRS
regarding the omitted payments. Follow
the instructions in the notice to explain
that the excluded payments aren't taxable. For more information about these
payments, see Pub. 3920.

Example. You were a firefighter
who was disabled as a direct result of
the September 11 terrorist attack on the
World Trade Center. You began receiving SSDI benefits at age 54. Your full
retirement age for social security retirement benefits is age 66. Your birthday is
April 25. In the year you turned age 66,

you received $1,500 per month in benefits from the SSA (for a total of $18,000
for the year). Because you became eligible for a full retirement benefit in May,
the month after you turned age 66, you
can exclude only 4 months (January
through April) of your annual benefit
from income ($6,000). You must report
the remaining $12,000 on line 6a. You
must also complete the Social Security
Benefits Worksheet to find out if any
part of the $12,000 is taxable.

If Exception 1 applies, enter your total capital gain distributions (from
box 2a of Form(s) 1099-DIV) on line 7
and check the box on that line. If you received capital gain distributions as a

Do you want the IRS to figure the
tax on your taxable income for you?
Yes. See chapter 13 of Pub. 17 for
details, including who is eligible and
what to do. If you have paid too much,
we will send you a refund. If you didn't
pay enough, we will send you a bill.
No. Use one of the following methods to figure your tax.
Tax Table or Tax Computation Worksheet. If your taxable income is less
than $100,000, you must use the Tax Table, later in these instructions, to figure
your tax. Be sure you use the correct
column. If your taxable income is
$100,000 or more, use the Tax Computation Worksheet right after the Tax Table.
However, don’t use the Tax Table or
Tax Computation Worksheet to figure
your tax if any of the following applies.
Form 8615. Form 8615 must generally
be used to figure the tax on your unearned income over $2,500 if you are
under age 18, and in certain situations if
you are older.
You must file Form 8615 if you meet
all of the following conditions.
1. You had more than $2,500 of unearned income (such as taxable interest,
ordinary dividends, or capital gains (including capital gain distributions)).
2. You are required to file a tax return.
3. You were either:
a. Under age 18 at the end of 2023,
b. Age 18 at the end of 2023 and
didn't have earned income that was more
than half of your support, or
c. A full-time student at least age 19
but under age 24 at the end of 2023 and
didn't have earned income that was more
than half of your support.
4. At least one of your parents was
alive at the end of 2023.
5. You don’t file a joint return in
2023.

Members of the military. If you were on extended active duty
outside the United States, your main home is considered to be in

No other person can take any of the five tax benefits just listed
based on the qualifying child. If you and any other person can
claim the child as a qualifying child, the following rules apply.
For purposes of these rules, the term “parent” means a biological or adoptive parent of an individual. It doesn't include a stepparent or foster parent unless that person has adopted the individual.
• 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 don’t 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 2023. 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 2023.
• 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 2023.
• 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 2023, but
only if that person's AGI is higher than the highest AGI of any
parent of the child who can claim the child.
If, under these rules, you can't claim a child as a qualiTIP fying child for the EIC, you may be able to claim the
EIC under the rules for a taxpayer without a qualifying
child. For more information, see Pub. 596.

“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. If
“Not Valid for Employment” is printed on the social security
card and the card-holder’s immigration status has changed so
that they are now a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, ask the
SSA for a new social security card without the legend. 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 won't
have an SSN by the date your return is due, see What if You
Can't File on Time?
If you didn't have an SSN issued on or before the due date of
your 2023 return (including extensions), you can't claim the EIC
on your original or an amended 2023 return. If a child didn't
have an SSN issued on or before the due date of your return (including extensions), you can't count that child as a qualifying
child in figuring the amount of the EIC on your original or an
amended 2023 return.
Student. A student is a child who during any part of 5 calendar
months of 2023 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 doesn't include an
on-the-job training course, correspondence school, or school offering courses only through the Internet.

Example. Your child Lee, meets the conditions to be a qualifying child for both you and your parent. Lee doesn't meet the
conditions to be a qualifying child of any other person, including Lee’s other parent. Under the rules just described, you can
claim Lee as a qualifying child for all of the five tax benefits listed here for which you otherwise qualify. Your parent can't
claim any of the five tax benefits listed here based on Lee.
However, if your parent’s AGI is higher than yours and you
don’t claim Lee as a qualifying child, Lee is the qualifying child
of your parent.
For more details and examples, see Pub. 596.

Welfare benefits, effect of credit on. Any refund you receive
as a result of taking the EIC can't 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 (formerly food stamps). In
addition, when determining eligibility, the refund can't be counted as a resource for at least 12 months after you receive it.

the trustee or custodian can assume the
deposit is for the year during which you

Effect of refund on benefits. Any refund you receive can't 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 (formerly
food stamps). In addition, when determining eligibility, the refund can't 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.

Fast Refunds! Join the eight in 10 taxpayers
who choose direct deposit—a fast, simple, safe,

automatically to your checking or savings

Account must be in your name. Don’t
request a deposit of your refund to an
account that isn't in your name, such as
your tax return preparer’s account. Although you may owe your tax return
preparer a fee for preparing your return,
don’t have any part of your refund deposited into the preparer's account to pay
the fee.
The number of refunds that can be directly deposited to a single account or
prepaid debit card is limited to three a
year. After this limit is reached, paper
checks will be sent instead. Learn more
at IRS.gov/DepositLimit.
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 don’t
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.
• It's proven itself. Nearly 98% of
social security and veterans' benefits are
sent electronically using direct deposit.
If you file a joint return and
check the box on line 35a and

What if You Can't Pay?

If you can't pay the full amount shown
on line 37 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 an installment agreement is granted, you will be
charged interest and may be charged a
late payment penalty on the tax not paid
by the due date of your return (not
counting extensions)—April 15, 2024,
for most people. 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 Apply for an Online Payment Plan.
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 the due date of your return (not
counting extensions)—April 15, 2024,
for most people. An extension generally
won't be granted for more than 6
months. You will be charged interest on
the tax not paid by April 15, 2024. You
must pay the tax before the extension
runs out. If you do not pay the tax by the
extended due date, penalties and interest
will be imposed until taxes are paid in
full. For the most up-to-date information
on Form 1127, go to IRS.gov/Form1127.

Line 38
Estimated Tax Penalty
You may owe this penalty if:

For most people, the “tax shown on
your return” is the amount on your 2023
Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 24, minus
the total of any amounts shown on lines
27, 28, and 29; Schedule 3, lines 9 and
12; Schedule H, lines 8e and 8f; and
Forms 8828, 4137, 5329 (Parts III
through IX only), and 8919. Also subtract from line 24 any:
• Tax on an excess parachute payment,
• Excise tax on insider stock compensation of an expatriated corporation,
• Uncollected social security and
Medicare or RRTA tax on tips or
group-term life insurance,
• Look-back interest due under section 167(g) or 460(b),
When figuring the amount on line 24,
include household employment taxes
only if line 25d is more than zero or you
would owe the penalty even if you didn't
include those taxes.
Exception. You won't owe the penalty
if your 2022 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
2022 return and you were a U.S. citizen
or resident for all of 2022.
2. The total of lines 25d, 26, and
Schedule 3, line 11, on your 2023 return
is at least 100% of the tax shown on
your 2022 return (110% of that amount
if you aren't a farmer or fisherman, and
your adjusted gross income (AGI)
shown on your 2022 return was more
than $150,000 (more than $75,000 if
married filing separately for 2023)).
Your estimated tax payments for 2023
must have been made on time and for
the required amount.
For most people, the “tax shown on
your 2022 return” is the amount on your
2022 Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 24,
minus the total of any amounts shown
on lines 27, 28, and 29; Schedule 3,

Figuring the Penalty

If you choose to figure the penalty yourself, use Form 2210 (or 2210-F for farmers and fishermen).
Enter any penalty on line 38. Add the
penalty to any tax due and enter the total
on line 37.
However, if you have an overpayment on line 34, subtract the penalty
from the amount you would otherwise
enter on line 35a or line 36. Lines 35a,
36, and 38 must equal line 34.
If the penalty is more than the overpayment on line 34, enter -0- on lines
35a and 36. Then, subtract line 34 from
line 38 and enter the result on line 37.
Don’t 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 compli-

TIP cated, you can leave line 38
blank and the IRS will figure
the penalty and send you a bill. We won't
charge you interest on the penalty if you
pay by the date specified on the bill.
There are situations where the IRS can't
figure your penalty for you and you must
file Form 2210. See Form 2210 for details.

Sign Your Return
Form 1040 or 1040-SR isn't considered

Requirements for an
Electronic Return

To file your return electronically, you
must sign the return electronically using
a personal identification number (PIN)
and provide the information described
below. 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. If
we issued you an identity protection personal identification number (IP PIN) (as
described in more detail below), all six
digits of your IP PIN must appear in the
IP PIN spaces provided next to the space
for your occupation for your electronic
signature to be complete. Failure to include an issued IP PIN on the electronic
return will result in an invalid signature
and a rejected return. If you are filing a
joint return and both taxpayers were issued an IP PIN, enter both IP PINs in
the spaces provided.
Self-Select PIN. The Self-Select PIN
method allows you to create your own

or form. If you have supporting statements, arrange them in the same order as
the schedules or forms they support and

Example. A married couple are filing a joint return. Their taxable
income on Form 1040, line 15, 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
$2,599. This is the tax amount they should enter in the entry space
on Form 1040, line 16.

How To Avoid Common
Mistakes

Mistakes can delay your refund or result
in notices being sent to you. One of the
best ways to file an accurate return is to
file electronically. Tax software does the
math for you and will help you avoid
mistakes. You may be eligible to use
free tax software that will take the
guesswork out of preparing your return.
Free File makes available free
brand-name software and free e-file.
Visit IRS.gov/FreeFile for details. Join
the eight in 10 taxpayers who get their
refunds faster by using direct deposit
and e-file.
• File your return on a standard size
sheet of paper. Cutting the paper may
cause problems in processing your return.
• Make sure you entered the correct
name and social security number (SSN)
for each dependent you claim in the Dependents section. Check that each dependent's name and SSN agrees with the
dependent’s social security card. For
each child under age 17 who is a qualifying child for the child tax credit or
each dependent who qualifies you for
the credit for other dependents, make
sure you checked the appropriate box in
column (4) of the Dependents section.
• Check your math, especially for
the child tax credit, earned income credit
(EIC), taxable social security benefits,
total income, itemized deductions or
standard deduction, taxable income, total tax, federal income tax withheld, and
refund or amount you owe.
• Be sure you used the correct method to figure your tax. See the instructions for line 16.
• Be sure to enter your SSN in the
space provided on page 1 of Form 1040
or 1040-SR. 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.
• If you are taking the standard deduction, see the instructions for line 12
to be sure you entered the correct
amount.
• If you received capital gain distributions but weren't required to file
Schedule D, make sure you checked the
box on line 7.
• 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 qualifying children you have who
have valid SSNs.
• Remember to sign and date Form
1040 or 1040-SR and enter your occupation(s).
• Attach your Form(s) W-2 and 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 37 for
details.
• Make sure to check Where Do You
File? before mailing your return. Over
the next several years, the IRS will be
reducing the number of paper tax return
processing sites. Because of this, you
may need to mail your return to a different address than you have in the past.
• Don’t file more than one original
return for the same year, even if you
haven't gotten your refund or haven't
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.

-78-

• Make sure that if you, your spouse
with whom you are filing a joint return,
or your dependent was enrolled in Marketplace coverage, and advance payments of the premium tax credit were
made for the coverage, that you attach
Form 8962. For tax years other than
2020, you may have to repay excess advance payments, even if someone else
enrolled you, your spouse, or your dependent in the Marketplace coverage.
Excess advance payments may also have
to be repaid if you enrolled someone in
Marketplace coverage, you don't claim
that individual as a dependent, and no
one else claims that individual as a dependent. See the instructions for Schedule 2, line 2, and the Instructions for
Form 8962. You or whoever enrolled
you should have received Form 1095-A
from the Marketplace with information
about who was covered and any advance
payments of the premium tax credit.

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 wouldn't 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 didn't file a joint return and are now
liable for an unpaid 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. Don’t file Form 8857 with
your Form 1040 or 1040-SR. For more
information, see Pub. 971 and Form
8857, or you can call the Innocent
Spouse office toll free at 855-851-2009.

PIN tool on IRS.gov to request an IP
PIN, file Form 15227 if your AGI on
your last filed return is less than

a Taxpayer Assistance Center.

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 return 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. 5027.

The IRS doesn't initiate contact with
taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS
doesn't 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.

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 (including those
on your home) as long as they are nee-

ded to figure the basis of the original or
replacement property. For more details,
see chapter 1 of Pub. 17.

Amended Return
File Form 1040-X to change a return
you already filed. Generally, to timely
claim a refund on your amended return,
Form 1040-X 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

Death of a Taxpayer
If a taxpayer died before filing a return
for 2023, 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

If your spouse died in 2023 and you
didn't remarry in 2023, or if your spouse
died in 2024 before filing a return for
2023, you can file a joint return. A joint
return should show your spouse's 2023
income before death and your income
for all of 2023. Enter “Filing as surviving spouse” in the area where you sign
the return. If someone else is the personal representative, they must also sign.

All payers of income, including financial institutions, should be promptly
notified of the taxpayer's death. This
will ensure the proper reporting of income earned by the taxpayer's estate or
heirs. A deceased taxpayer's social security number shouldn't 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 with your
deceased 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 Tax Topic 356
or see Pub. 559.

Past Due Returns
If you or someone you know needs to
file past due tax returns, use Tax Topic
153 or go to IRS.gov/Individuals for
help in filing those returns. Send the return to the address that applies to you in
the latest Form 1040 and 1040-SR instructions. For example, if you are filing
a 2020 return in 2024, use the address at
the end of these instructions. However,
if you got an IRS notice, mail the return

Need someone to prepare your tax return? There are various types of tax return preparers, including enrolled
agents, certified public accountants
(CPAs), accountants, any many others
who don’t have professional credentials.
If you choose to have someone prepare
your tax return, choose that preparer
wisely. A paid tax preparer is:
• Primarily responsible for the overall substantive accuracy of your return,
• Required to sign the return, and
• Required to include their preparer
tax identification number (PTIN).
Although the tax preparer always
signs the return, you’re ultimately responsible for providing all the information required for the preparer to accurately prepare your return. Anyone paid
to prepare tax returns for others should
have a thorough understanding of tax
matters. For more information on how to
choose a tax preparer, go to Tips for
Choosing a Tax Preparer on IRS.gov.

Using direct deposit. The fastest way
to receive a tax refund is to file electronically and choose direct deposit, which
securely and electronically transfers
your refund directly into your financial
account. Direct deposit also avoids the
possibility that your check could be lost,

Reporting and resolving your tax-related identity theft issues.
• Tax-related identity theft happens
when someone steals your personal information to commit tax fraud. Your taxes can be affected if your SSN is used to
file a fraudulent return or to claim a refund or credit.
• The IRS doesn’t initiate contact
with taxpayers by email, text messages
(including shortened links), telephone
calls, or social media channels to request
or verify personal or financial information. This includes requests for personal
identification numbers (PINs), passwords, or similar information for credit
cards, banks, or other financial accounts.
• Go to IRS.gov/IdentityTheft, the
IRS Identity Theft Central webpage, for
information on identity theft and data security protection for taxpayers, tax professionals, and businesses. If your SSN
has been lost or stolen or you suspect
you’re a victim of tax-related identity
theft, you can learn what steps you
should take.
• Get an Identity Protection PIN (IP
PIN). IP PINs are six-digit numbers assigned to taxpayers to help prevent the
misuse of their SSNs on fraudulent federal income tax returns. When you have
an IP PIN, it prevents someone else
from filing a tax return with your SSN.
To learn more, go to IRS.gov/IPPIN.
Ways to check on the status of your
refund.
• Go to IRS.gov/Refunds.
• Download the official IRS2Go app

Payments for information on how to
make a payment using any of the following options.
• IRS Direct Pay: Pay your individual tax bill or estimated tax payment directly from your checking or savings account at no cost to you.
• Debit or Credit Card: Choose an
approved payment processor to pay online or by phone.
• Electronic Funds Withdrawal:
Schedule a payment when filing your
federal taxes using tax return prepara-

tion software or through a tax professional.
• Electronic Federal Tax Payment
System: Best option for businesses. Enrollment is required.
• Check or Money Order: Mail your
payment to the address listed on the notice or instructions.
• Cash: You may be able to pay your
taxes with cash at a participating retail
store.
• Same-Day Wire: You may be able
to do same-day wire from your financial
institution. Contact your financial institution for availability, cost, and time
frames.
Note. The IRS uses the latest encryption technology to ensure that the electronic payments you make online, by
phone, or from a mobile device using
the IRS2Go app are safe and secure.
Paying electronically is quick, easy, and
faster than mailing in a check or money
order.
What if I can’t pay now? Go to
IRS.gov/Payments for more information
about your options.
• Apply for an online payment

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 isn't
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 doesn't
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

Other. Other penalties can be imposed
for, among other things, 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, making a false statement, or identity theft. See Pub. 17 for details on some
of these penalties.

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 or gross 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 don’t 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 have a
reasonable explanation for filing late, 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

IRA Deduction
If you made any nondeductible

TIP contributions to a traditional
individual retirement arrangement (IRA) for 2023, you must report
them on Form 8606.
You are entitled to a deduction

TIP to your IRA contribution regardless of age.

If you made contributions to a traditional IRA for 2023, 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. For IRA
purposes, earned income includes alimony and separate maintenance payments
reported on Schedule 1, line 2a. If you
were a member of the U.S. Armed
Forces, earned income includes any nontaxable combat pay you received. If you
were self-employed, earned income is
generally your net earnings from
self-employment if your personal services were a material income-producing
factor. For more details, see Pub. 590-A.
A statement should be sent to you by
May 31, 2024, that shows all contributions to your traditional IRA for 2023.
Use the IRA Deduction Worksheet to
figure the amount, if any, of your IRA
deduction. But read the following list
before you fill in the worksheet.
1. You can't 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 Schedule 3, line 4.
2. If you are filing a joint return and
you or your spouse made contributions
to both a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA
for 2023, don’t use the IRA Deduction
Worksheet in these instructions. Instead,
see Pub. 590-A to figure the amount, if
any, of your IRA deduction.
3. You can’t deduct elective deferrals to a 401(k) plan, 403(b) plan, section 457 plan, SIMPLE plan, or the federal Thrift Savings Plan. These amounts
aren't included as income in box 1 of
your Form W-2.

4. If you made contributions to your
IRA in 2023 that you deducted for 2022,
don’t include them in the worksheet.
5. 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, or in box 1 of Form
1099-NEC, don’t include that income on
line 8 of the worksheet. The income
should be shown in (a) box 11 of your

W-2 with code Z, or (c) box 15 of Form
1099-MISC. If it isn't, contact your employer or the payer for the amount of the
income.
6. 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 20.
7. Don’t include rollover contributions in figuring your deduction. Instead,
see the instructions for Form 1040 or
1040-SR, lines 4a and 4b.
8. Don't include trustees' fees that
were billed separately and paid by you
for your IRA.
9. Don’t include any repayments of
qualified reservist distributions. You
can't deduct them. For information on
how to report these repayments, see
Qualified reservist repayments in Pub.
590-A.
10. If the total of your IRA deduction
on line 20 plus any nondeductible contribution to your traditional IRAs shown
on Form 8606 is less than your total traditional IRA contributions for 2023, see
Pub. 590-A for special rules.

Were You Covered by a Retirement
Plan?
If you were covered by a retirement plan
(qualified pension, profit-sharing (including 401(k)), annuity, SEP, SIMPLE,
etc.) at work or through self-employment, your IRA deduction may be reduced or eliminated. But you can still
make contributions to an IRA even if
you can't deduct them. In any case, the
income earned on your IRA contributions isn't taxed until it is paid to you.
The “Retirement plan” box in box 13
of your Form W-2 should be checked if
you were covered by a plan at work
even if you weren’t vested in the plan.
You are also covered by a plan if you
were self-employed and had a SEP,
SIMPLE, or qualified retirement plan.
If you were covered by a retirement
plan and you file Form 2555 or 8815, or

Marketplace and advance payments of
the premium tax credit were made for
the coverage, complete Form 8962 to
reconcile (compare) the advance payments with your premium tax credit.
You (or whoever enrolled you) should
have received Form 1095-A from the

This notice applies to all records and
other material (in paper or electronic format) you file with us, including this tax
return. It also applies to any questions we
need to ask you so we can complete, correct, or process your return; figure your
tax; and collect tax, interest, or penalties.
Our legal right to ask for information
is Internal Revenue Code sections 6001,
6011, and 6012(a), and their regulations.
They say that you must file a return or
statement with us for any tax you are liable for. Your response is mandatory under
these sections. Code section 6109 requires you to provide your identifying
number on the return. This is so we know
who you are, and can process your return
and other papers. You must fill in all parts
of the tax form that apply to you. But you
do not have to check the boxes for the
Presidential Election Campaign Fund or
for the third-party designee. You also do
not have to provide your daytime phone
number or email address.
You are not required to provide the information requested on a form that is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act unless the form displays a valid OMB control number. Books or records relating to
a form or its instructions must be retained
as long as their contents may become material in the administration of any Internal
Revenue law.
We ask for tax return information to
carry out the tax laws of the United
States. We need it to figure and collect the
right amount of tax.

as described in the Code. For example,
we may disclose your tax information to
the Department of Justice to enforce the
tax laws, both civil and criminal, and to
cities, states, the District of Columbia,
and U.S. commonwealths or territories to
carry out their tax laws. We may disclose
your tax information to the Department of
Treasury and contractors for tax administration purposes; and to other persons as
necessary to obtain information needed to
determine the amount of or to collect the
tax you owe. We may disclose your tax
information to the Comptroller General of
the United States to permit the Comptroller General to review the Internal Revenue Service. We may disclose your tax information to committees of Congress;
federal, state, and local child support
agencies; and to other federal agencies for
the purposes of determining entitlement
for benefits or the eligibility for and the
repayment of loans. We may also disclose
this information to other countries under a
tax treaty, to federal and state agencies to
enforce federal nontax criminal laws, or
to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism.

Please keep this notice with your records. It may help you if we ask you for
other information. If you have questions
about the rules for filing and giving information, please call or visit any Internal
Revenue Service office.

Although we can't respond individually to each comment received, we do appreciate your feedback and will consider
your comments as we revise our tax
forms and instructions.

Estimates of Taxpayer
Burden

The following table shows burden estimates based on current statutory requirements as of November 2023 for taxpayers
filing a 2023 Form 1040 or 1040-SR tax
return. Time spent and out-of-pocket
costs are presented separately. Time burden is broken out by taxpayer activity,
with recordkeeping representing the largest component. Out-of-pocket costs include any expenses incurred by taxpayers
to prepare and submit their tax returns.
Examples include tax return preparation
and submission fees, postage and photocopying costs, and tax return preparation
software costs. While these estimates
don’t include burden associated with
post-filing activities, IRS operational data
indicate that electronically prepared and
filed returns have fewer arithmetic errors,
implying lower post-filing burden.

Reported time and cost burdens are national averages and don’t necessarily reflect a “typical” case. Most taxpayers experience lower than average burden, with
taxpayer burden varying considerably by
taxpayer type. For instance, the estimated

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.

Your Rights
as a Taxpayer

TREASURY/IRS
The Taxpayer Bill of Rights
AND OMB USE
ONLY DRAFT
November 3, 2023
1. The Right to Be Informed

6. The Right to Finality

Taxpayers have the right to know what they need to do to
comply with the tax laws. They are entitled to clear
explanations of the laws and IRS procedures in all tax forms,
instructions, publications, notices, and correspondence. They
have the right to be informed of IRS decisions about their tax
accounts and to receive clear explanations of the outcomes.

Taxpayers have the right to know the maximum amount of
time they have to challenge the IRS’s position as well as the
maximum amount of time the IRS has to audit a particular tax
year or collect a tax debt. Taxpayers have the right to know
when the IRS has finished an audit.

7. The Right to Privacy

2. The Right to Quality Service

Taxpayers have the right to receive prompt, courteous, and
professional assistance in their dealings with the IRS, to be
spoken to in a way they can easily understand, to receive clear
and easily understandable communications from the IRS, and
to speak to a supervisor about inadequate service.

8. The Right to Confidentiality

3. The Right to Pay No More than the
Correct Amount of Tax

Taxpayers have the right to pay only the amount of tax legally
due, including interest and penalties, and to have the IRS
apply all tax payments properly.

4. The Right to Challenge the IRS’s Position
and Be Heard
Taxpayers have the right to raise objections and provide
additional documentation in response to formal IRS actions or
proposed actions, to expect that the IRS will consider their
timely objections and documentation promptly and fairly, and
to receive a response if the IRS does not agree with their
position.

5. The Right to Appeal an IRS Decision in an
Independent Forum
Taxpayers are entitled to a fair and impartial administrative
appeal of most IRS decisions, including many penalties, and
have the right to receive a written response regarding the IRS
Independent Office of Appeals’ decision. Taxpayers generally
have the right to take their cases to court.

Taxpayers have the right to expect that any IRS inquiry,
examination, or enforcement action will comply with the law
and be no more intrusive than necessary, and will respect all
due process rights, including search and seizure protections,
and will provide, where applicable, a collection due process
hearing.

Taxpayers have the right to expect that any information they
provide to the IRS will not be disclosed unless authorized by
the taxpayer or by law. Taxpayers have the right to expect
appropriate action will be taken against employees, return
preparers, and others who wrongfully use or disclose taxpayer
return information.

9. The Right to Retain Representation
Taxpayers have the right to retain an authorized representative
of their choice to represent them in their dealings with the
IRS. Taxpayers have the right to seek assistance from a Low
Income Taxpayer Clinic if they cannot afford representation.

10. The Right to a Fair and Just Tax System
Taxpayers have the right to expect the tax system to consider
facts and circumstances that might affect their underlying
liabilities, ability to pay, or ability to provide information timely.
Taxpayers have the right to receive assistance from the
Taxpayer Advocate Service if they are experiencing financial
difficulty or if the IRS has not resolved their tax issues properly
and timely through its normal channels.
