Can we file a 1040A?

Can I use 1040A if I have a right off from a bank?  and can we file if we are on SS only and a small (Under $1000 a year) pension he receives?

The income section of the 1040A form only allows you to report limited types of income. Specific items include wages, salaries and tips, interest and dividend income, capital gains, IRA, pension and annuity distributions, unemployment compensation, Alaska permanent fund dividends and Social Security benefits.

If you have other types of income, such as from a business you operate as a sole proprietorship, you still must report the income since it is taxable, but you must file the full-length Form 1040.

Rest assured when you use TurboTax to prepare and file your taxes, you don’t need to know anything about tax forms or tax tables. We’ll just ask you simple questions, fill in all the right forms, and do all the calculations for you.
