IRS is asking for 1040A/EZ/SR Where do I find this

There has not been a Form 1040EZ  or 1040A since 2017.    Everyone uses a Form 1040 or a 1040SR---if you or your spouse are 65 or older, the return prints out on Form 1040SR---which is identical to Form 1040 but with larger print.

 

If you prepared a tax return, it is on a Form 1040 or a 1040SR.    When you enter information into this software, you are preparing a Form 1040.  Please look at it so you know what your tax form looks like:

Is the IRS asking for another copy of your tax return?

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

Start a 2024 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

Or did you use the desktop version of TurboTax?  If so, the files are on your own hard drive or any backup device you used like a flash drive.

You can get a free transcript from the IRS or for a fee of $30, an actual copy of your tax return.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURNS !

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records.  That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.

IRS is asking for 1040A/EZ/SR Where do I find this

How and why is the IRS asking? Are you sure it's really the IRS? It seems unlikely that the IRS would be asking for a 1040-A or 1040-EZ seven years after those forms were eliminated. The IRS normally will only contact you by a letter in the regular mail. If you got an email, a text, or a phone call it's a scam.


In another post you said that the IRS is asking for a Schedule B. Is that request in the same letter as the request for "1040A/EZ/SR"? What else are they asking for, and why? It's not clear what's going on. Is this all about your 2014 tax return or an earlier year? Did you file a tax return for the year in question, or are they asking because you did not file? If you did get a letter in the mail from the IRS, what is the notice number or letter number at the top right, starting with CP or LTR?
