    The federal Form 1040 Schedule 1 is only included if any type of Additional Income or Adjustment to Income was reported on the federal tax return.

    IRS Form 1040 Schedule 1 - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040s1.pdf

     

    If you are e-filing the Georgia state income tax return, these federal forms will be included in the state e-file.
