Question

How many pages is the final completed long 1040 form? I'm single, no dependents and I don't have any tax credits or any itemized deductions.

After I completed my 2015 tax return. I only have 2 pages of the 1040 form at the end. I thought it is usually a pretty long form with many pages. I'm not sure if I missed anything since its so short.

For someone in my situation (single, employed (1 job), not retired) and without any item deductions, tax credits, additional taxes, mortgage and investments, is a 2 page long-1040 form normal? 

Do I need to send copies of my 1095-C (employer health plan), W-2 and 1099-B with my tax return after I reported everything on my 1040?

Thanks.

Form 1040 _is_ only two pages long.  The situation you describe would not need any other attachments and you only would attach the W2.  However, you say you received a 1099-B form, which _is_ the result of investments and would have to reported on additional forms.  Did you mean something else, say a 1099-INT or 1099-DIV?  Additional forms aren't needed for them if they total under $400 interest and $400 dividends.
