Form 1040A, also known as the short form, is one of three forms (1040, 1040A, 1040EZ) available to US taxpayers for filing US individual federal income tax returns.

As the most detailed version, Form 1040 is known popularly as the long form. As the version that is more simplified than the long form (Form 1040), Form 1040A is known popularly as the short form. As the most abbreviated version, Form 1040EZ is known popularly as the easy form.

Form 1040A eligibility and filing

Form 1040A is simple and easy to use.

Various criteria determine use of the short form. Taxable income of less than $100,000 may be reported via Form 1040A.

Income only comes from such compensation as salaries, tips and wages. Other income sources that may be reported via Form 1040A include: certain capital gain distributions (except for unrecaptured section 1250 gain, section 1202 gain or collectibles gain), ordinary dividends and IRA distributions.

Other income sources reportable via Form 1040A include pensions and annuities, taxable social security and railroad retirement benefits, and taxable scholarships and fellowship grants. Unemployment compensation may also be reported via Form 1040A.

Adjustments to income reportable via Form 1040A are restricted to IRA deduction and student loan interest deduction.

Taxpayers who file Form 1040A are required to claim the standard deduction.

Taxpayers who are eligible for 1040A returns may file in either of two formats: paper form or paperless return via electronic filing (e-file).
