No, only certain taxpayers are eligible to use this tax form. It can be used by people who file single or jointly, have interest less than $1500, have taxable income below $100,000, are under 65, not blind, no dependents, no adjustments, apply for no credits except EITC, and don't have tips or allocated tips unless they are included in Box 5 or 7 on their W-2 form. Anyone with other tips must file a 1040 form along with other forms showing the tip income.

Only certain qualified taxpayers can use the 1040EZ FORM and the form has only one page with fewer lines so it would be a shorter form to use if you qualify to use it. The 1040 tax form has 2 pages with lines available for all of the different income, adjustments to income tax credits, other taxes, payments, additional tax credit amounts, etc so it would be a 2 page form plus all of the necessary attachments that could be necessary for some of the needed information that would be included on the 1040 LONG form.

What all do you need to send into the IRS for taxes. I have my W2's for both jobs and my fully filled out 1040ez. Is that all I need to send and how do I know which IRS branch to send it to as well?

If that is the only tax forms you received then that is all that you will need to send in attached to your 1040EZ form. The best place to look for the address is on the instructions for the tax form that you are using. The best place to get this is to go to the IRS website at irs.gov. You go to the forms and publication section and put in 1040EZ and it will pull up the tax form and the instructions for the tax form. It is best that you print this out and go over the section on what form to use if your not sure and also there is a section on where to file. The addresses will be listed depending on which state you live in.
