The 1040 tax form is used to determine the income tax return. The form may be filed for individuals who are single, or it can be filled out for a married couple as a joint tax return. Depending on whether you are single or married, what your level of income is, and the number of dependents that you have, you can either file a 1040EZ or a 1040A. There are several different locations in which you can obtain a 1040 tax form. It can be obtained from the Post Office, or you can ask for one from your local state tax office or IRS office. It can also be downloaded from the IRS website and printed out. Before you can fill out the 1040 tax form, you will need to gather up a great deal of other documents as well. These include the 1099MISC, the W2, and the W4. A W4 is an Employees' Withholding Allowance Certificate. The W4 is used by your employer in order to withhold taxes from your paycheck and pay them directly to the IRS. The W2 form is statement of your wages and taxes. This particular form is not available for download because it is not legal to scan this document. This particular form can only be obtained from your employer or the IRS office. The 1099MISC is used in order to report any additional sources of income that you have earned if you are at least partially self employed. When you start filling out the 1040, the first thing that you will do is list your basic information. This includes your name, social security, address, marital status, and whether or not this is a joint filing. It is absolutely vital that you use the correct social security number. If you do not, the return will be filed for somebody else. After entering this basic information, you will enter information about your income during the year. You will need to have documented evidence of all of the income. Once you have determined your total income, you will determine your deductions, which might include payments to your mortgage, charitable donations, and so forth. What is left over is your taxable income.

Most of the time, no. But there are some exceptions so you deserve a more complete answer. For example, when you say you didn't make any money, do you mean that you got paid a little but spent more than you were paid? If that was the case, you might receive a 1099misc form, showing that you did earn money. That form is also reported to the IRS so if you don't file a schedule C, the IRS will send you a letter asking you to pay tax on that money. Generally, if you had no income at all from a business, you're better off not filing a schedule C. The IRS doesn't like to see zero income schedule C forms. But, if you have an ongoing business that had expenses and you just had a bad year, it might make sense to file that form to claim your losses. If you're starting a brand new business and you've had no income for the first year, you should probably not file the schedule C and put those expenses on your next year's return as start-up costs.
