No. Form 1040A no longer exists. For Tax year 2018 and later, you will no longer use Form 1040-A, but instead use the Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR.

 

To use the TurboTax Free Edition, which is an online-only product that supports simple tax returns that can be filed on Form 1040 without any attached schedules.

  • Unemployment income
  • Limited interest and dividend income reported on a 1099-INT or 1099-DIV

  • Child tax credits
