what is the difference between the IRS 1040 and the IRS 1040EZ forms?
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.
Form 1040 is a an annual tax form for the residents of the United States. It is also referred to as the "long form". Other 1040 forms available are 1040A (the short form) and 1040EZ.
Exemptions are listed on the 1040 series. On Form 1040 and Form 1040A, the Exemptions Section is the third section on the first page and covers lines 6a through 6d. On Form 1040EZ exemptions are in the Income Section. You don't identify your exemptions by name. Instead, because you can only file Single or Married Filing Jointly on Form 1040EZ, you enter on line 5 either $9,350 for Single or $18,700 for Married Filing Jointly or a reduced amount according to the 1040EZ worksheet if your parents are claiming you as a dependent.
For federal income tax returns, you have three related forms: Form 1040EZ, Form 1040A, and Form 1040. Start by checking if you can meet all requirements stated regarding the use of 1040EZ and if you are okay with its limitations. If not, check the requirements and limitations of Form 1040A.
