Form 1040 Tax Form
Form 1040 is the annual income tax form required by the US treasury. A 1040 must be filled for all US tax payers. The form 1040 has been a requirement for US tax payers since 1916. Every year the form undergoes a series of minor changes. Therefore, tax payers must only use the form designated for the specified tax year.
Today there are 12 different variations of the form 1040. Specialized versions of the form are now available for aliens living in the US and residents of US territories such as the Virgin Islands and Porto Rico. Today, two simplified versions of the 1040 are also available for less complicated tax returns.
