You can only file Form 1040EZ if the following are true:

"Single or Married Filing Joint

Under age 65

No dependents

Interest income is below $400

Income or combined incomes (Form W-2) below $50,000"

If you don't fall within those guidelines you will have to file either Form 1040A or Form 1040.
 
Form 1040A:

"Income or combined incomes below $50,000

Capital gain distributions, but no other capital gains or losses

Only IRA or student loan adjustments to your income

You do NOT itemize deductions"

If you can't file either of these Forms, you must file Form 1040.
