What is Form 1040?
Form 1040 is the official Form for IRS income tax returns and is used by individuals to report the taxable income of United States residents. All income earned for the year and income reported on your W-2 and/or 1099s must be reported on Form 1040 to calculate as part of AGI for the year and is reduced by reporting qualified expenses to reach an individual’s taxable income.
As a U.S. resident, you are required to file the 1040 Form for the previous year. There are 5 categories or statuses under which a filer can file Form 1040 for most taxpayers. Filing the 1040 Form may come with benefits but may also have negative impacts if the filer does not file the Form correctly.

Who is Required to File 1040 Tax Form?
Filling out Form 1040 can be complex. Many U.S. taxpayers wonder, ‘Do I really need to file a 1040 Form?’ The answer depends on factors like income type, Filing Status, and specific financial circumstances.
Income Thresholds

Filing Status

Special Situations
Certain situations may require filing a Form 1040 even if income is below the standard threshold. This can include self-employment income, taxable scholarships, and certain types of income from investments.
Other Income Sources
Other sources of income such as self-employment, rental income, or any investment gains are required to file Form 1040.
