If in doubt, use Form 1040, it works for everyone.

Some people can use the shorter forms 1040A or 1040EZ.

Here are tips on how to choose the right form from the IRS:

The only real difference between the forms is that the short forms leave out a lot of the lines that don't apply to most people with simple taxes. Some people get confused by the fact that there are a lot of lines they will be skipping on the long Form 1040 because they don't apply to them.

To determine the amount of tax, multiply $1349.99 by the tax in decimal form.$1349.99 x 0.0625 = $84.37To determine $1349.99 plus tax, add the tax to $1349.99.$1349.99 + $84.37 = $1434.36You can do this all in one step.1349.99 + (1349.99 x 0.0625) = $1434.36Now you answer the question by substituting the amount of tax you were given for the question.
