If you owe tax for self employment income, you are required to complete the 1040 form. The 1040A form is for more basic tax returns, and in this case, would not work for you.

Is Form 1040A or Form 1040EZ easier?
Form 1040Ez is Income Tax Return for Single and Joint Filers with No Dependents. It's the easiest of the 1040 series. It's only one page. Form 1040A and Form 1040 are both two pages. But Form 1040A is easier than Form 1040.
What federal tax forms need to be sent to the IRS?
If you're filing paper copies of your tax return, you need to attach all W-2 forms in the designated areas of the 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ. The 1040 series also indicates the Schedules and Forms which need to be attached. For example, Form 1040 line 12 (business income) states "Attach Schedule C or C-EZ." To claim credit for child and dependent care expenses, both 1040 and 1040A state "Attach Form 2441" at line 48 and line 29, respectively.
When filing the state income tax form which form do you file is it the 1040 a or 1040 schedule a or both?
You file whatever the state tax instructions tell you to file, which may be neither of those things. ("Both" is clearly wrong, for reasons that will be explained later.)The IRS has three main income tax forms. The instructions for each form contain a short worksheet telling you whether you can use it or not.1040 is the "standard" income tax form. Nearly anyone can use this form (along with various schedules) to file their return. It's the most complicated of the three.1040A is a shorter, simplified form. Most people who do not itemize deductions can use this form.1040EZ is a very short and greatly simplified form for people with no dependents (other than, possibly, a spouse) whose income is almost entirely from wages, salaries, or tips, with less than $1500 of taxable interest income. Like the 1040A, the 1040EZ does not allow itemized deductions (and simplifies things further by combining personal exemptions with the standard deduction).In addition, there's also a Form 1040 Schedule A, which is used to list itemized deductions. It can only be used with Form 1040, because neither Form 1040A nor Form 1040EZ allow itemized deductions.Most states require that you file a copy of your federal return along with your state return. Filing a copy of both Form 1040A and Form 1040 Schedule A would be incorrect, as this is not a valid combination ... you need either 1040 plus 1040 Schedule A (and any other schedules you sent to the feds), or 1040A pretty much by itself or 1040EZ also pretty much by itself. Along with your state return, which generally has to "match" the federal return ... if you used federal 1040, in California you have to file state form 540, if you used federal 1040A you have to file state form 540A, and if you filed federal 1040EZ then you need to use state form 540EZ.

How do you get short term disability social security tax forms plus tax table?
Form SSA-1099 is Social Security Benefit Statement. Short-term social security disability and regular social security benefits are reported to you on Form SSA-1099. If you have taxable social security benefits, file Form 1040 tax return or Form 1040A. You can't file Form 1040-EZ. A quick way to find if your social security benefits are taxable is to total half of your benefit amount with all your other taxable income. That total is taxable if it's more than $25,000 for Single ($32,000 for Married Filing Jointly). The tax table is included in the form/instruction booklet for both Form 1040 and Form 1040A. The Social Security Administration is required to provide/send Form SSA-1099 to benefit recipients by January 31st. If January 31st falls on a weekend, the deadline is extended to the next business day. The deadline for 2009 SSA-1099 forms is Monday, February 1, 2010.
