What are you trying to do?
A 1040 is a tax return. A 1095 is reporting health care insurance issued by a health insurance company.
The prisoner uses form 1040 like everyone else. Note that you cannot claim a prisoner as a dependent. The prisoner has to sign their own tax return.
The 1040 is the tax return you file.
A 1095 is a form you receive for your health ins. You enter a 1095A into your 1040 tax return.
Provide some details----who is the return for? A spouse, your child, someone else?
I am the POA for my nephew who is in a correctional institution and I'd like to file a 1040 for him.
I am the POA for my nephew who is incarcerated. Can I file a 1040 for him?
Yes. As long as you are the Power of Attorney for your nephew and a current Form 2848 is filed, you are able to file his taxes without his review and signature. Please keep in mind that the POA must include the tax year 2020 if you are filing for him this year.
