A Message From
the Commissioner

Dear Taxpayer,
American taxpayers made history in 2005. For the first time, over half of all
individuals filed their tax returns electronically. More than 68 million people
“e-filed.” E-file is fast, secure, and accurate. The software catches errors that
may otherwise hold up the processing of a paper return. Refunds come a lot
sooner. I encourage you to consider this option. Taxpayers who file
electronically prefer it.
IRS.gov (www.irs.gov) was visited over 137 million times during last year’s
filing season, making it one of the most used websites in America. IRS.gov
provides ready access to all IRS forms and publications, answers to frequently
asked questions, and interactive features, such as Where’s My Refund, the
Withholding Calculator, and the EITC Assistant eligibility tool. In addition,
Free File, also available through IRS.gov, provides free and convenient access
to e-file. This free service was used by five million taxpayers last year.
The IRS also answered over 33 million toll-free calls from taxpayers last
year. We achieved an all-time high for the accuracy of our answers.
IRS-sponsored volunteer return preparation has almost doubled since 1999,
helping more than two million people file returns.
As we improve services to taxpayers, the IRS continues to emphasize fair and
balanced enforcement of the law. Americans have every right to be confident
that when they pay their taxes, neighbors and competitors are doing the same.
I hope this tax booklet is useful to you. For further information, you may
contact us online at www.irs.gov or call our toll-free numbers 1-800-829-1040
for individuals and 1-800-829-4933 for businesses.
Sincerely,

Mark W. Everson

The IRS Mission
Provide America’s taxpayers top quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax
responsibilities and by applying the tax law with integrity and fairness to all.

What is IRS e-file?
It’s the fastest, easiest, and most convenient way to file your income tax return electronically. So easy, over XX
million taxpayers preferred e-file over filing a paper income tax return last year. Visit the IRS website at
www.irs.gov/efile for all the details and latest information.

What are the benefits?
Millions Eligible for Free File!
● Free File allows qualified taxpayers to prepare and e-file their own tax returns for free using commercially
available online tax preparation software.
● Review online tax software provider offerings and determine if you are eligible by visiting the Free File page at
www.irs.gov.

Fast! Easy! Convenient!
● Get your refund in half the time as paper filers do, even faster and safer with direct deposit. See page 59.
● Sign electronically and file a completely paperless return. See page 61.
● Receive an electronic proof of receipt within 48 hours after the IRS received your return.
● If you owe, you can e-file and authorize an electronic funds withdrawal or pay by credit card. If you e-file before
April 16, 2007, you can schedule an electronic funds withdrawal from your checking or savings account as late as
April 16, 2007. See page 60.
● Prepare and file your federal and state returns together and save time.

Accurate! Secure!
● IRS computers quickly and automatically check for errors or other missing information.
● The chance of being audited does not differ whether you e-file or file a paper income tax return.
● Your bank account information is safeguarded along with other tax return information. The IRS does not have
access to credit card numbers.
Visit the IRS website at www.irs.gov/efile for details.

How to e-file?
Use an Authorized IRS e-file
Provider

Use a Personal Computer

Many tax professionals electronically file tax returns
for their clients. As a taxpayer, you have two options:
● You can prepare your return, take it to an
Authorized IRS e-file Provider, and have the provider
transmit it electronically to the IRS, or
● You can have a tax professional prepare your return
and transmit it for you electronically.
Tax professionals can charge a fee for IRS e-file.
Fees can vary depending on the professional and the
specific services rendered.

You can file your income tax return in a fast, easy,
convenient way using your personal computer. A
computer with a modem or Internet access and tax
preparation software are all you need. Best of all, you
can e-file from the comfort of your home 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week. Visit www.irs.gov for details.
IRS approved tax preparation software is available
for online use on the Internet, for download from the
Internet, and in retail stores. Visit www.irs.gov/efile for
details.
If you do not qualify for the Free File options, visit
our Partners Page at www.irs.gov/efile for partners that
offer low-cost filing options.

Calling the IRS

If you cannot find the answer to your question using one of the methods listed on page 7,
please call us for assistance at 1-800-829-1040. You will not be charged for the call unless
your phone company charges you for toll-free calls. Our normal hours of operation are
Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time. Assistance provided to
callers from Alaska and Hawaii will be based on the hours of operation in the Pacific time
zone. These hours are subject to change. If you call when assistance is not available, you will
receive a message giving the updated hours of operation.

TIP

Before You Call
IRS representatives care about the quality
of the service provided to you, our customer. You can help us provide accurate,
complete answers to your questions by having the following information available.
• The tax form, schedule, or notice to
which your question relates.
• The facts about your particular situation. The answer to the same question often
varies from one taxpayer to another because of differences in their age, income,
whether they can be claimed as a dependent, etc.
• The name of any IRS publication or
other source of information that you used to
look for the answer.
To maintain your account security, you
may be asked for the following information, which you should also have available.
• Your social security number.
• The amount of refund and filing status
shown on your tax return.
• The “Caller ID Number” shown at the
top of any notice you received.
• Your personal identification number
(PIN) if you have one.
• Your date of birth.
• The numbers in your street address.

If you want to check the status of your 2006 refund, see Refund Information on
page 8.

• Your ZIP code.
If you are asking for an installment
agreement to pay your tax, you will be
asked for the highest amount you can pay
each month and the date on which you can
pay it.
Evaluation of services provided. The IRS
uses several methods to evaluate our telephone service. One method is to record
telephone calls for quality purposes only. A
random sample of recorded calls is selected
for review through the quality assurance
process. Other methods include listening to
live calls in progress and random selection
of customers for participation in a customer
satisfaction survey.

Making the Call
Call 1-800-829-1040 (deaf customers with
access to TTY/TDD equipment may call
1-800-829-4059). Our menu allows you to
speak your responses or use your keypad to
select a menu option. After receiving your
menu selection, the system will direct your
call to the appropriate assistance. You can
do the following within the system.

• Order tax forms and publications.

- 10 -

• Find out what you owe.
• Determine if we have adjusted your
account or received payments you made.
• Request a transcript of your tax return
or account.
• Find out where to send your tax return
or payment.
• Request more time to pay or set up a
monthly installment agreement.
• Find out if you qualify for innocent
spouse relief.

Before You Hang Up
If you do not fully understand the answer
you receive, or you feel our representative
may not fully understand your question,
our representative needs to know this. He
or she will be happy to take additional time
to be sure your question is answered fully.
By law, you are responsible for paying
your share of federal income tax. If we
should make an error in answering your
question, you are still responsible for the
payment of the correct tax. Should this occur, however, you will not be charged any
penalty.

Filing
Requirements
Do You Have To File?
Use Chart A, B, or C to see if you must file
a return. U.S. citizens who lived in or had
income from a U.S. possession should see
Pub. 570. Residents of Puerto Rico can use
TeleTax topic 901 (see page 8) to see if
they must file.

Even if you do not otherwise
have to file a return, you should
TIP
file one to get a refund of any
federal income tax withheld.
You should also file if you are eligible for
the earned income credit, additional child
tax credit, health coverage tax credit, or
credit for federal telephone excise tax paid.
Exception for children under age 18. If
you are planning to file a tax return for your
child who was under age 18 at the end of
2006 and certain other conditions apply,
you can elect to include your child’s income on your return. But you must use
Form 8814 to do so. If you make this election, your child does not have to file a return. For details, use TeleTax topic 553
(see page 8) or see Form 8814.

A child born on January 1, 1989, is considered to be age 18 at the end of 2006. Do
not use Form 8814 for such a child.
Resident aliens. These rules also apply if
you were a resident alien. Also, you may
qualify for certain tax treaty benefits. See
Pub. 519 for details.

These rules apply to all U.S. citizens, regardless of where they live, and resident aliens.
Have you tried IRS e-file? It’s the fastest way to get your refund and it’s free
if you are eligible. Visit www.irs.gov for details.

Nonresident aliens and dual-status aliens.

These rules also apply if you were a nonresident alien or a dual-status alien and both of
the following apply.
• You were married to a U.S. citizen or
resident at the end of 2006.
• You elected to be taxed as a resident
alien.
See Pub. 519 for details.

Specific rules apply to determine if you are a resident alien,
nonresident alien, or dual-status
CAUTION
alien. Most nonresident aliens
and dual-status aliens have different filing
requirements and may have to file Form
1040NR or Form 1040NR-EZ. Pub. 519
discusses these requirements and other information to help aliens comply with U.S.
tax law, including tax treaty benefits and
special rules for students and scholars.

!

When and Where
Should You File?
Not later than April 16, 2007. If you live in
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New York, Vermont, or the
District of Columbia you have until April
17, 2007. If you file after this date, you may
have to pay interest and penalties. See page
64.
See the back cover for filing instructions
and addresses. For details on using a private delivery service, see page 15.

What if You Cannot File on
Time?
You can get an automatic 6-month extension if, no later than April 16, 2007, you
file Form 4868. For details, see Form 4868.

An automatic 6-month extension to file does not extend the
time to pay your tax. See Form
CAUTION
4868.
If you are a U.S. citizen or resident, you
may qualify for an automatic extension of
time to file without filing Form 4868. You
qualify if, on the due date of your return,
you meet one of the following conditions.
• You live outside the United States and
Puerto Rico and your main place of business or post of duty is outside the United
States and Puerto Rico.
• You are in military or naval service on
duty outside the United States and Puerto
Rico.
This extension gives you an extra 2
months to file and pay the tax, but interest
will be charged from the original due date
of the return on any unpaid tax. You must
attach a statement to your return showing
that you meet the requirements. If you are
still unable to file your return by the end of
the 2-month period, you can get an additional 4 months if, no later than June 15,
2007, you file Form 4868. This 4-month
extension of time to file does not extend the
time to pay your tax. See Form 4868.

Form 1040 — Line 1

Line
Instructions for
Form 1040
Name and Address
Use the Peel-Off Label
Using your peel-off name and address label
on the back of this booklet will speed the
processing of your return. It also prevents
common errors that can delay refunds or
result in unnecessary notices. Put the label
on your return after you have finished it.
Cross out any incorrect information and
print the correct information. Add any
missing items, such as your apartment
number.

Address Change
If the address on your peel-off label is not
your current address, cross out your old
address and print your new address. If you
plan to move after filing your return, use
Form 8822 to notify the IRS of your new
address.

Name Change
If you changed your name because of marriage, divorce, etc., be sure to report the
change to your local Social Security Administration office before filing your return. This prevents delays in processing
your return and issuing refunds. It also
safeguards your future social security benefits. See page 64 for more details. If you
received a peel-off label, cross out your
former name and print your new name.

What if You Do Not Have a
Label?
Print or type the information in the spaces
provided. If you are married filing a separate return, enter your spouse’s name on
line 3 instead of below your name.

If you filed a joint return for
2005 and you are filing a joint
return for 2006 with the same
spouse, be sure to enter your
names and SSNs in the same order as on
your 2005 return.

TIP

P.O. Box
Enter your box number only if your post
office does not deliver mail to your home.

IRS e-file takes the guesswork out of preparing your return. You may also
be eligible to use free online commercial tax preparation software to file
your federal income tax return. Visit www.irs.gov/efile for details.

Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code.

Foreign Address
Enter the information in the following order: City, province or state, and country.
Follow the country’s practice for entering
the postal code. Do not abbreviate the
country name.

Death of a Taxpayer
See page 64.

Social Security
Number (SSN)
An incorrect or missing SSN can increase
your tax or reduce your refund. To apply
for an SSN, fill in Form SS-5 and return it,
along with the appropriate evidence documents, to the Social Security Administration (SSA). You can get Form SS-5 online
at www.socialsecurity.gov, from your local
SSA office, or by calling the SSA at
1-800-772-1213. It usually takes about 2
weeks to get an SSN.
Check that your SSN on your Forms
W-2 and 1099 agrees with your social security card. If not, see page 64 for more
details.

IRS Individual Taxpayer
Identification Numbers
(ITINs) for Aliens
If you are a nonresident or resident alien
and you do not have and are not eligible to
get an SSN, you must apply for an ITIN.
For details on how to do so, see Form W-7
and its instructions. It usually takes about
4-6 weeks to get an ITIN.
If you already have an ITIN, enter it
wherever your SSN is requested on your
tax return.
Note. An ITIN is for tax use only. It does

not entitle you to social security benefits or
change your employment or immigration
status under U.S. law.

Nonresident Alien Spouse
If your spouse is a nonresident alien and
you file a joint or separate return, your
spouse must have either an SSN or an ITIN.

Need more information or forms? See page 7.

Presidential Election
Campaign Fund
This fund helps pay for Presidential election campaigns. The fund reduces candidates’ dependence on large contributions
from individuals and groups and places
candidates on an equal financial footing in
the general election. If you want $3 to go to
this fund, check the box. If you are filing a
joint return, your spouse can also have $3
go to the fund. If you check a box, your tax
or refund will not change.

Check only the filing status that applies to
you. The ones that will usually give you the
lowest tax are listed last.
• Married filing separately.
• Single.
• Head of household.
• Married filing jointly or qualifying
widow(er) with dependent child.

Form 1040 — Lines 2 Through 5

Line 2

Line 4

Married Filing Jointly

Head of Household

You can check the box on line 2 if any of
the following apply.
• You were married at the end of 2006,
even if you did not live with your spouse at
the end of 2006.
• Your spouse died in 2006 and you did
not remarry in 2006.
• You were married at the end of 2006,
and your spouse died in 2007 before filing a
2006 return.
For federal tax purposes, a marriage
means only a legal union between a man
and a woman as husband and wife. A husband and wife can file a joint return even if
only one had income or if they did not live
together all year. However, both persons
must sign the return. Once you file a joint
return, you cannot choose to file separate
returns for that year after the due date of the
return.
Joint and several tax liability. If you file a

joint return, both you and your spouse are
generally responsible for the tax and any
interest or penalties due on the return. This
means that if one spouse does not pay the
tax due, the other may have to. However,
see Innocent Spouse Relief on page 63.
Nonresident aliens and dual-status aliens.

Generally a husband and wife cannot file a
joint return if either spouse is a nonresident
alien at any time during the year. However,
if you were a nonresident alien or a
dual-status alien and were married to a U.S.
citizen or resident alien at the end of 2006,
you may elect to be treated as a resident
alien and file a joint return. See Pub. 519
for details.

Line 3
Married Filing Separately
If you are married and file a separate return,
you will usually pay more tax than if you
use another filing status that you qualify
for. Also, if you file a separate return, you
cannot take the student loan interest deduction, the education credits, or the earned
income credit. You also cannot take the
standard deduction if your spouse itemizes
deductions.
Generally, you report only your own
income, exemptions, deductions, and credits. Different rules apply to people in community property states. See page 22.

You may be able to file as head
of household if you had a child

living with you and you lived
apart from your spouse during
the last 6 months of 2006. See Married
persons who live apart on this page.

Special rules may apply for
people who had to relocate because of Hurricane Katrina,
Rita, or Wilma. For details, see

if you were unmarried or legally separated
(according to your state law) under a decree
of divorce or separate maintenance at the
end of 2006 and either 1 or 2 below applies.
1. You paid over half the cost of keeping
up a home that was the main home for all of
2006 of your parent whom you can claim as
a dependent, except under a multiple support agreement (see page 21). Your parent
did not have to live with you.
2. You paid over half the cost of keeping
up a home in which you lived and in which
one of the following also lived for more
than half of the year (if half or less, see
Exception to time lived with you below).

ii. Any person who is your dependent
only because he or she lived with you for
all of 2006, or
iii. Any person you claimed as a dependent under a multiple support agreement. See page 21.
b. Your unmarried qualifying child who
is not your dependent.
c. Your married qualifying child who is
not your dependent only because you can
be claimed as a dependent on someone
else’s 2006 return.
d. Your child who is neither your dependent nor your qualifying child because of
the rules for Children of divorced or separated parents on page 20.
If the child is not your dependent, enter

the person for whom you kept up a home
was born or died in 2006, you can still file
as head of household as long as the home
was that person’s main home for the part of
the year he or she was alive. Also see Kidnapped child on page 21, if applicable.
Keeping up a home. To find out what is

included in the cost of keeping up a home,
see Pub. 501.
If you used payments you received
under Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) or other public assistance
programs to pay part of the cost of keeping
up your home, you cannot count them as
money you paid. However, you must include them in the total cost of keeping up
your home to figure if you paid over half of
the cost.
Married persons who live apart. Even if

you were not divorced or legally separated
at the end of 2006, you are considered unmarried if all of the following apply.
• You lived apart from your spouse for
the last 6 months of 2006. Temporary absences for special circumstances, such as
for business, medical care, school, or military service, count as time lived in the
home.
• You file a separate return from your
spouse.
• You paid over half the cost of keeping
up your home for 2006.
• Your home was the main home of
your child, stepchild, or foster child for

Exception to time lived with you on this
page).
• You claim this child as your dependent or the child’s other parent claims him
or her under the rules for Children of divorced or separated parents on page 20.

1. The parents are divorced, legally separated, separated under a
written separation agreement, or lived apart at all times during
the last 6 months of 2006.
2. The child received over half of his or her support for 2006
from the parents (without regard to the rules on Multiple

3. The child is in custody of one or both of the parents for more
than half of 2006.
4. Either of the following applies.
a. The custodial parent signs Form 8332 or a substantially similar statement that he or she will not claim the child as a
dependent for 2006 and the noncustodial parent attaches the
form or statement to his or her return.
b. A decree of divorce or separate maintenance or written separation agreement between the parents that applies to 2006
provides that the noncustodial parent can claim the child as a
dependent. If the decree or agreement went into effect before
1985, the noncustodial parent must provide at least $600 for
support of the child during 2006.

• Signature page with the other parent’s signature and date of
agreement.

!

You must attach the required information even if you
filed it with your return in an earlier year.

CAUTION

If the rules above apply and this child would otherwise be the
qualifying child of more than one person:
• Only the noncustodial parent can claim the child for purposes
of the dependency exemption (line 6c) and the child tax credits
(lines 53 and 68).
• For head of household filing status (line 4), the credit for child
and dependent care expenses (line 48), and the earned income
credit (EIC) (lines 66a and 66b), only one person can claim
these three benefits. No other person can claim any of these
three benefits unless he or she has a different qualifying child.
If you and any other person claim the child as a qualifying
child, the IRS will apply the rules shown under Qualifying
child of more than one person on this page. If you will not be
taking the EIC with a qualifying child because of these rules,
put “No” on the dotted line next to line 66a.
See Pub. 501 for more details.
Exception to citizen test. If you are a U.S. citizen or U.S. national
and your adopted child lived with you all year as a member of your
household, that child meets the citizen test.
Exception to gross income test. If your relative (including a person

who lived with you all year as a member of your household) is
permanently and totally disabled (defined on this page), certain
income for services performed at a sheltered workshop may be
excluded for this test. For details, see Pub. 501.
Exception to time lived with you. A person is considered to have

lived with you for all of 2006 if the person was born or died in 2006
and your home was this person’s home for the entire time he or she
was alive. Temporary absences for special circumstances, such as
for school, vacation, medical care, military service, or detention in a
juvenile facility, count as time lived with you. Also see Children of
divorced or separated parents on page 20 or Kidnapped child below.

with you all year as a member of your household) but you and
another person(s) provided more than half of your relative’s support, special rules may apply that would treat you as having provided over half of the support. For details, see Pub. 501.
Permanently and totally disabled. A person who, at any time in

2006, cannot engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a
physical or mental condition and a doctor has determined that this
condition (a) has lasted or can be expected to last continuously for
at least a year, or (b) can be expected to lead to death.
Qualifying child of more than one person. If the child is the quali-

fying child of more than one person, only one person can claim the
child as a qualifying child for all of the following tax benefits,
unless the rules for Children of divorced or separated parents on
page 20 apply.
1. Dependency exemption (line 6c).
2. Child tax credits (lines 53 and 68).
3. Head of household filing status (line 4).
4. Credit for child and dependent care expenses (line 48).
5. Earned income credit (lines 66a and 66b).
No other person can take any of the five tax benefits listed above
unless he or she has a different qualifying child. If you and any
other person claim the child as a qualifying child, the IRS will apply
the following rules.
• If only one of the persons is the child’s parent, the child will be
treated as the qualifying child of the parent.
• If two of the persons are the child’s parents, the child will be
treated as the qualifying child of the parent with whom the
child lived for the longer period of time in 2006. If the child
lived with each parent for the same amount of time, the child
will be treated as the qualifying child of the parent who had the
higher adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2006.
• If none of the persons are the child’s parent, the child will be
treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the
highest AGI for 2006.
Example. Your daughter meets the conditions to be a qualifying
child for both you and your mother. If you and your mother both
claim tax benefits based on the child, the rules above apply. Under
these rules, you are entitled to treat your daughter as a qualifying
child for any of the five tax benefits listed above for which you
otherwise qualify. Your mother would not be entitled to take any of
the five tax benefits listed above unless she has a different qualifying child.

Foster child. A foster child is any child placed with you by an

Kidnapped child. If your child is presumed by law enforcement

authorities to have been kidnapped by someone who is not a family
member, you may be able to take the child into account in determining your eligibility for head of household or qualifying widow(er)
filing status, the deduction for dependents, child tax credit, and the
earned income credit (EIC). For details, use TeleTax topic 357 (see
page 8) or see Pub. 501 (Pub. 596 for the EIC).
Married person. If the person is married, you cannot claim that

person as your dependent if he or she files a joint return. But this
rule does not apply if the return is filed only as a claim for refund
and no tax liability would exist for either spouse if they had filed
separate returns. If the person meets this exception, go to Step 2,
question 3, on page 19 (for a qualifying child) or Step 4, question 4,
on page 20 (for a qualifying relative). If the person does not meet
this exception, go to Step 3 on page 19 (for a qualifying child) or

with the dependent’s social security card. Otherwise, at the time we
process your return, we may disallow the exemption claimed for the
dependent and reduce or disallow any other tax benefits (such as the
child tax credit) based on that dependent. If the name or SSN on the
dependent’s social security card is not correct, call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213. For details on how your
dependent can get an SSN, see page 16. If your dependent will not
have a number by April 16, 2007, see What if You Cannot File on
Time? on page 12.
If your dependent child was born and died in 2006 and you do
not have an SSN for the child, you can attach a copy of the child’s
birth certificate instead and enter “Died” in column (2).
Student. A child who during any part of 5 calendar months of 2006
was enrolled as a full-time student at a school, or took a full-time,
on-farm training course given by a school or a state, county, or local
government agency. A school includes a technical, trade, or
mechanical school. It does not include an on-the-job training
course, correspondence school, or Internet school.

sources outside the United States unless exempt by law or a tax treaty. You must also
report earned income, such as wages and
tips, from sources outside the United
States.
If you worked abroad, you may be able
to exclude part or all of your earned income. For details, see Pub. 54 and Form
2555 or 2555-EZ.
Foreign retirement plans. If you were a

beneficiary of a foreign retirement plan,

follow state law to determine what is community income and what is separate income. For details, see Pub. 555.

Rounding Off to Whole
Dollars
You can round off cents to whole dollars on
your return and schedules. If you do round
to whole dollars, you must round all

cents and increase amounts from 50 to 99
cents to the next dollar. For example, $1.39
becomes $1 and $2.50 becomes $3.
If you have to add two or more amounts
to figure the amount to enter on a line,
include cents when adding the amounts and
round off only the total.

deferred should be shown in box 12 of your
Form W-2, and the “Retirement plan” box
in box 13 should be checked. If the total
amount you (or your spouse if filing
jointly) deferred for 2006 under all plans
was more than $15,000 (excluding
catch-up contributions as explained below), include the excess on line 7. This
limit is (a) $10,000 if you only have
SIMPLE plans, or (b) $18,000 for section
403(b) plans if you qualify for the 15-year
rule in Pub. 571.
A higher limit may apply to participants
in section 457(b) deferred compensation
plans for the 3 years before retirement age.

*This includes a Roth, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA.

Were You a Statutory Employee?
If you were, the “Statutory employee” box
in box 13 of your form W-2 should be
checked. Statutory employees include
full-time life insurance salespeople, certain
agent or commission drivers and traveling
salespeople, and certain homeworkers. If
you have related business expenses to deduct, report the amount shown in box 1 of
your Form W-2 on Schedule C or C-EZ
along with your expenses.

Missing or Incorrect Form W-2?
Your employer is required to provide or
send Form W-2 to you no later than
January 31, 2007. If you do not receive it
by early February, use TeleTax topic 154
(see page 8) to find out what to do. Even if
you do not get a Form W-2, you must still
report your earnings on line 7. If you lose
your Form W-2 or it is incorrect, ask your
employer for a new one.

Line 8a
Taxable Interest
Each payer should send you a Form
1099-INT or Form 1099-OID. Enter your
total taxable interest income on line 8a. But
you must fill in and attach Schedule B if the

Form 1040 — Lines 8b Through 10

Line 8b
Tax-Exempt Interest
If you received any tax-exempt interest,
such as from municipal bonds, report it on
line 8b. Include any exempt-interest dividends from a mutual fund or other regulated investment company. Do not include
interest earned on your IRA or Coverdell
education savings account.

Line 9a
Ordinary Dividends
Each payer should send you a Form
1099-DIV. Enter your total ordinary dividends on line 9a. This amount should be
shown in box 1a of Form(s) 1099-DIV. The
amount you enter on line 9a must include
any qualified dividends entered on line 9b.
You must fill in and attach Schedule B if
the total is over $1,500 or you received, as a
nominee, ordinary dividends that actually
belong to someone else.

Nondividend Distributions
Some distributions are a return of your cost
(or other basis). They will not be taxed until
you recover your cost (or other basis). You
must reduce your cost (or other basis) by
these distributions. After you get back all of
your cost (or other basis), you must report
these distributions as capital gains on
Schedule D. For details, see Pub. 550.

Dividends on insurance policies
are a partial return of the premiums you paid. Do not report
them as dividends. Include
them in income on line 21 only if they
exceed the total of all net premiums you
paid for the contract.

TIP

Line 9b
Qualified Dividends
Enter your total qualified dividends on
line 9b. These dividends also must be included on line 9a. Qualified dividends are
eligible for a lower tax rate than other ordinary income. Generally, these dividends
are shown in box 1b of Form(s) 1099-DIV.
See Pub. 550 for the definition of qualified
dividends if you received dividends not reported on Form 1099-DIV.
Exception. Some dividends may be reported as qualified dividends in box 1b of
Form 1099-DIV but are not qualified dividends. These include:
• Dividends you received as a nominee.
See the Instructions for Schedule B.
• Dividends you received on any share
of stock that you held for less than 61 days
during the 121-day period that began 60

days before the ex-dividend date. The
ex-dividend date is the first date following
the declaration of a dividend on which the
purchaser of a stock is not entitled to receive the next dividend payment. When
counting the number of days you held the
stock, include the day you disposed of the
stock but not the day you acquired it. See
the examples below. Also, when counting
the number of days you held the stock, you
cannot count certain days during which
your risk of loss was diminished. See
Pub. 550 for more details.
• Dividends attributable to periods totaling more than 366 days that you received
on any share of preferred stock held for less
than 91 days during the 181-day period that
began 90 days before the ex-dividend date.
When counting the number of days you
held the stock, you cannot count certain
days during which your risk of loss was
diminished. See Pub. 550 for more details.
Preferred dividends attributable to periods
totaling less than 367 days are subject to the
61-day holding period rule above.
• Dividends on any share of stock to the
extent that you are under an obligation (including a short sale) to make related payments with respect to positions in
substantially similar or related property.
• Payments in lieu of dividends, but
only if you know or have reason to know
that the payments are not qualified dividends.
Example 1. You bought 5,000 shares of
XYZ Corp. common stock on June 29,
2006. XYZ Corp. paid a cash dividend of
10 cents per share. The ex-dividend date
was July 7, 2006. Your Form 1099-DIV
from XYZ Corp. shows $500 in box 1a
(ordinary dividends) and in box 1b (qualified dividends). However, you sold the
5,000 shares on August 2, 2006. You held
your shares of XYZ Corp. for only 34 days
of the 121-day period (from June 30, 2006,
through August 2, 2006). The 121-day period began on May 8, 2006 (60 days before
the ex-dividend date), and ended on September 5, 2006. You have no qualified dividends from XYZ Corp. because you held
the XYZ stock for less than 61 days.
Example 2. Assume the same facts as in
Example 1 except that you bought the stock
on July 6, 2006 (the day before the ex-dividend date), and you sold the stock on September 7, 2006. You held the stock for 63
days (from July 7, 2006, through September 7, 2006). The $500 of qualified dividends shown in box 1b of Form 1099-DIV
are all qualified dividends because you held
the stock for 61 days of the 121-day period
(from July 7, 2006, through September 5,
2006).
Example 3. You bought 10,000 shares
of ABC Mutual Fund common stock on
June 29, 2006. ABC Mutual Fund paid a
cash dividend of 10 cents a share. The
ex-dividend date was July 7, 2006. The

- 23 -

ABC Mutual Fund advises you that the portion of the dividend eligible to be treated as
qualified dividends equals 2 cents per
share. Your Form 1099-DIV from ABC
Mutual Fund shows total ordinary dividends of $1,000 and qualified dividends of
$200. However, you sold the 10,000 shares
on August 2, 2006. You have no qualified
dividends from ABC Mutual Fund because
you held the ABC Mutual Fund stock for
less than 61 days.

Be sure you use the Qualified
Dividends and Capital Gain
Tax Worksheet or the
Schedule D Tax Worksheet,
whichever applies, to figure your tax. Your
tax may be less if you use the worksheet
that applies. See the instructions for line 44
that begin on page 38 for details.

TIP

Line 10
Taxable Refunds, Credits, or
Offsets of State and Local
Income Taxes
None of your refund is taxable
if, in the year you paid the tax,
you either (a) did not itemize
deductions, or (b) elected to deduct state and local general sales taxes instead of state and local income taxes.

TIP

If you received a refund, credit, or offset
of state or local income taxes in 2006, you
may receive a Form 1099-G. If you chose
to apply part or all of the refund to your
2006 estimated state or local income tax,
the amount applied is treated as received in
2006. If the refund was for a tax you paid in
2005 and you deducted state and local income taxes on line 5 of your 2005 Schedule
A, use the worksheet on page 24 to see if
any of your refund is taxable.
Exception. See Itemized Deduction Re-

coveries in Pub. 525 instead of using the
worksheet on page 24 if any of the following applies.
1. You received a refund in 2006 that is
for a tax year other than 2005.
2. You received a refund other than an
income tax refund, such as a general sales
tax or real property tax refund, in 2006 of
an amount deducted or credit claimed in an
earlier year.
3. The amount on your 2005 Form 1040,
line 42, was more than the amount on your
2005 Form 1040, line 41.
4. Your 2005 state and local income tax
refund is more than your 2005 state and
local income tax deduction minus the
amount you could have deducted as your
2005 state and local general sales taxes.
5. You made your last payment of 2005
estimated state or local income tax in 2006.
6. You owed alternative minimum tax in
2005.

7. You could not deduct the full amount
of credits you were entitled to in 2005 because the total credits exceeded the amount
shown on your 2005 Form 1040, line 46.
8. You could be claimed as a dependent
by someone else in 2005.
9. You had to use the Itemized Deductions Worksheet in the 2005 Instructions
for Schedules A & B because your 2005
adjusted gross income was over $145,950
($72,975 if married filing separately) and
both of the following apply.
a. You could not deduct all of the
amount on the 2005 Itemized Deductions

b. The amount on line 8 of that 2005
worksheet would be more than the amount
on line 4 of that worksheet if the amount on
line 4 were reduced by 80% of the refund
you received in 2006.

Line 11
Alimony Received
Enter amounts received as alimony or separate maintenance. You must let the person

who made the payments know your social
security number. If you do not, you may
have to pay a $50 penalty. For more details,
use TeleTax topic 406 (see page 8) or see
Pub. 504.

Line 12
Business Income or (Loss)
If you operated a business or practiced your
profession as a sole proprietor, report your
income and expenses on Schedule C or
C-EZ.

Line 13
Capital Gain or (Loss)
If you had a capital gain or loss, including
any capital gain distributions or a capital
loss carryover from 2005, you must complete and attach Schedule D.

TIP

Did you know e-file partners
offer Schedule D software that
can import trades from many
brokerage firms and accounting

software and export it to leading tax
software for easy online filing? To find out
more, go to www.irs.gov/efile/lists/
0,,id=101223,00.html.
Exception. You do not have to file Sched-

ule D if both of the following apply.
• The only amounts you have to report
on Schedule D are capital gain distributions
from Form(s) 1099-DIV, box 2a, or substitute statements.
• None of the Form(s) 1099-DIV or
substitute statements have an amount in
box 2b (unrecaptured section 1250 gain),
box 2c (section 1202 gain), or box 2d (collectibles (28%) gain).
If both of the above apply, enter your
total capital gain distributions (from box 2a
of Form(s) 1099-DIV) on line 13 and check
the box on that line. If you received capital
gain distributions as a nominee (that is,
they were paid to you but actually belong to
someone else), report on line 13 only the
amount that belongs to you. Attach a statement showing the full amount you received
and the amount you received as a nominee.

part to enter on line 16b. But if your annuity starting date (defined below) was after
July 1, 1986, see Simplified Method on
page 26 to find out if you must use that
method to figure the taxable part.
You can ask the IRS to figure the taxable part for you for a $380 fee. For details,
see Pub. 939.
If your Form 1099-R shows a taxable
amount, you can report that amount on

of a retiree, use the retiree’s age on his or
her annuity starting date. But if your annuity starting date was after 1997 and the
payments are for your life and that of your
beneficiary, use your combined ages on the
annuity starting date.
If you are the beneficiary of an employee who died, see Pub. 575. If there is
more than one beneficiary, see Pub. 575 or
Pub. 721 to figure each beneficiary’s taxable amount.

Cost
Your cost is generally your net investment
in the plan as of the annuity starting date. It
does not include pre-tax contributions.
Your net investment should be shown in
box 9b of Form 1099-R for the first year
you received payments from the plan.

Rollovers
Generally, a qualified rollover is a tax-free
distribution of cash or other assets from one
retirement plan that is contributed to another plan within 60 days of receiving the
distribution. Use lines 16a and 16b to report
a qualified rollover, including a direct rollover, from one qualified employer’s plan to
another or to an IRA or SEP.
Enter on line 16a the total distribution
before income tax or other deductions were
withheld. This amount should be shown in
box 1 of Form 1099-R. From the total on
line 16a, subtract any contributions (usually shown in box 5) that were taxable to
you when made. From that result, subtract
the amount of the qualified rollover. Enter
the remaining amount, even if zero, on
line 16b. Also, enter ‘‘Rollover’’ next to
line 16b.
Special rules apply to partial rollovers
of property. For more details on rollovers,
including distributions under qualified domestic relations orders, see Pub. 575.

Lump-Sum Distributions
If you received a lump-sum distribution
from a profit-sharing or retirement plan,
your Form 1099-R should have the ‘‘Total
distribution’’ box in box 2b checked. You
may owe an additional tax if you received
an early distribution from a qualified retirement plan and the total amount was not
rolled over in a qualified rollover. For details, see the instructions for line 60 on
page 44.
Enter the total distribution on line 16a
and the taxable part on line 16b.

You may be able to pay less tax
on the distribution if you were
born before January 2, 1936, or
you are the beneficiary of a deceased employee who was born before January 2, 1936. For details, see Form 4972.

TIP

Line 19
Unemployment
Compensation
You should receive a Form 1099-G showing the total unemployment compensation
paid to you in 2006.
If you received an overpayment of unemployment compensation in 2006 and
you repaid any of it in 2006, subtract the
amount you repaid from the total amount
you received. Enter the result on line 19.
Also, enter “Repaid” and the amount you
repaid on the dotted line next to line 19. If,
in 2006, you repaid unemployment compensation that you included in gross income in an earlier year, you can deduct the
amount repaid on Schedule A, line 22. But
if you repaid more than $3,000, see Repay-

- 27 -

ments in Pub. 525 for details on how to
report the repayment.

Lines 20a and 20b
Social Security Benefits
You should receive a Form SSA-1099
showing in box 3 the total social security
benefits paid to you. Box 4 will show the
amount of any benefits you repaid in 2006.
If you received railroad retirement benefits
treated as social security, you should receive a Form RRB-1099.
Use the worksheet on page 28 to see if
any of your benefits are taxable.
Exception. Do not use the worksheet on

page 28 if any of the following applies.
• You made contributions to a traditional IRA for 2006 and you or your spouse
were covered by a retirement plan at work
or through self-employment. Instead, use
the worksheets in Pub. 590 to see if any of
your social security benefits are taxable and
to figure your IRA deduction.
• You repaid any benefits in 2006 and
your total repayments (box 4) were more
than your total benefits for 2006 (box 3).
None of your benefits are taxable for 2006.
Also, you may be able to take an itemized
deduction or a credit for part of the excess
repayments if they were for benefits you
included in gross income in an earlier year.
For more details, see Pub. 915.
• You file Form 2555, 2555-EZ, 4563,
or 8815, or you exclude employer-provided
adoption benefits or income from sources
within Puerto Rico. Instead, use the worksheet in Pub. 915.

Line 32
IRA Deduction
If you made any nondeductible
contributions to a traditional individual retirement arrangement (IRA) for 2006, you must
report them on Form 8606.
If you made contributions to a traditional IRA for 2006, you may be able to
take an IRA deduction. But you, or your
spouse if filing a joint return, must have
had earned income to do so. For IRA purposes, earned income includes alimony and
separate maintenance payments reported
on line 11. If you were a member of the
U.S. Armed Forces, earned income includes any nontaxable combat pay you received. If you were self-employed, earned
income is generally your net earnings from
self-employment if your personal services
are a material income-producing factor. For
more details, see Pub. 590. A statement
should be sent to you by May 31, 2007, that
shows all contributions to your traditional
IRA for 2006.
Use the worksheet on page 32 to figure
the amount, if any, of your IRA deduction.
But read the following list before you fill in
the worksheet.

TIP

1. If you were age 701⁄2 or older at the
end of 2006, you cannot deduct any contributions made to your traditional IRA for
2006 or treat them as nondeductible contributions.
2. You cannot deduct contributions to a
Roth IRA. But you may be able to take the
retirement savings contributions credit. See
the instructions for line 51 on page 41.

CAUTION

If you made contributions to
both a traditional IRA and a
Roth IRA for 2006, do not use
the worksheet on page 32. In-

stead, see Pub. 590 to figure the amount, if
any, of your IRA deduction.
3. You cannot deduct elective deferrals
to a 401(k) plan, section 457 plan, SIMPLE
plan, or the federal Thrift Savings Plan.
These amounts are not included as income
in box 1 of your Form W-2. But you may be
able to take the retirement savings contributions credit. See the instructions for line
51 on page 41.
4. If you made contributions to your
IRA in 2006 that you deducted for 2005, do
not include them in the worksheet.
5. If you received income from a nonqualified deferred compensation plan or
nongovernmental section 457 plan that is
included in box 1 of your Form W-2, or in
box 7 of Form 1099-MISC, do not include
that income on line 8 of the worksheet. The
income should be shown in (a) box 11 of
your Form W-2, (b) box 12 of your Form
W-2, with code Z, or (c) box 15b of Form
1099-MISC. If it is not, contact your employer or the payer for the amount of the
income.
6. You must file a joint return to deduct
contributions to your spouse’s IRA. Enter
the total IRA deduction for you and your
spouse on line 32.
7. Do not include qualified rollover contributions in figuring your deduction. Instead, see the instructions for lines 15a and
15b on page 25.
8. Do not include trustees’ fees that
were billed separately and paid by you for
your IRA. These fees can be deducted only
as an itemized deduction on Schedule A.
9. If the total of your IRA deduction on
line 32 plus any nondeductible contribution
to your traditional IRAs shown on Form
8606 is less than your total traditional IRA
contributions for 2006, see Pub. 590 for
special rules.

- 31 -

By April 1 of the year after the
year in which you turn age 701⁄2,
you must start taking minimum
required distributions from
your traditional IRA. If you do not, you
may have to pay a 50% additional tax on
the amount that should have been distributed. For details, including how to figure
the minimum required distribution, see
Pub. 590.

(qualified pension, profit-sharing (including 401(k)), annuity, SEP, SIMPLE, etc.) at
work or through self-employment, your
IRA deduction may be reduced or eliminated. But you can still make contributions
to an IRA even if you cannot deduct them.
In any case, the income earned on your IRA
contributions is not taxed until it is paid to
you.
The “Retirement plan” box in box 13 of
your Form W-2 should be checked if you
were covered by a plan at work even if you
were not vested in the plan. You are also
covered by a plan if you were self-employed and had a SEP, SIMPLE, or qualified retirement plan.
If you were covered by a retirement plan
and you file Form 2555, 2555-EZ, or 8815,
or you exclude employer-provided adoption benefits, see Pub. 590 to figure the
amount, if any, of your IRA deduction.
Married persons filing separately. If you

were not covered by a retirement plan but
your spouse was, you are considered covered by a plan unless you lived apart from
your spouse for all of 2006.

• 10 years after the most recent tax year for which there was a
final determination that your EIC was reduced or disallowed
due to fraud.
Foster child. A foster child is any child placed with you by an
authorized placement agency or by judgment, decree, or other order
of any court of competent jurisdiction. For more details on authorized placement agencies, see Pub. 596.

No other person can take any of the five tax benefits listed above
unless he or she has a different qualifying child. If you and any
other person claim the child as a qualifying child, the IRS will apply
the following rules.
• If only one of the persons is the child’s parent, the child will be
treated as the qualifying child of the parent.
• If two of the persons are the child’s parents, the child will be
treated as the qualifying child of the parent with whom the
child lived for the longer period of time in 2006. If the child
lived with each parent for the same amount of time, the child
will be treated as the qualifying child of the parent who had the
higher adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2006.
• If none of the persons is the child’s parent, the child will be
treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the
highest AGI for 2006.
Example. Your daughter meets the conditions to be a qualifying
child for both you and your mother. If you and your mother both
claim tax benefits based on the child, the rules above apply. Under
these rules, you are entitled to treat your daughter as a qualifying
child for any of the five tax benefits listed above for which you
otherwise qualify. Your mother would not be entitled to take any of
the five tax benefits listed above unless she has a different qualifying child.
If you will not be taking the EIC with a qualifying child, put
“No” on the dotted line next to line 66a. Otherwise, go to Step 3,
question 1, on page 47.

Married child. A child who was married at the end of 2006 is a

Social security number (SSN). For the EIC, a valid SSN is a number issued by the Social Security Administration unless “Not Valid
for Employment” is printed on the social security card and the
number was issued solely to apply for or receive a federally funded
benefit.
To find out how to get an SSN, see page 16. If you will not have
an SSN by April 16, 2007, see What if You Cannot File on Time?
on page 12.
Student. A child who during any part of 5 calendar months of 2006
was enrolled as a full-time student at a school, or took a full-time,
on-farm training course given by a school or a state, county, or local
government agency. A school includes a technical, trade, or
mechanical school. It does not include an on-the-job training
course, correspondence school, or Internet school.

qualifying child only if (a) you can claim him or her as your
dependent on Form 1040, line 6c, or (b) you could have claimed
him or her as your dependent except for the rules for Children of
divorced or separated parents on page 20.
Members of the military. If you were on extended active duty
outside the United States, your home is considered to be in the
United States during that duty period. Extended active duty is
military duty ordered for an indefinite period or for a period of more
than 90 days. Once you begin serving extended active duty, you are
considered to be on extended active duty even if you do not serve
more than 90 days.
Nonresident aliens. If your filing status is married filing jointly, go

to Step 2 on page 46. Otherwise, stop; you cannot take the EIC.
Permanently and totally disabled. A person is permanently and

totally disabled if, at any time in 2006, the person cannot engage in
any substantial gainful activity because of a physical or mental
condition and a doctor has determined that this condition (a) has
lasted or can be expected to last continuously for at least a year, or
(b) can be expected to lead to death.
Qualifying child of more than one person. If the child is the qualifying child of more than one person, only one person can claim the
child as a qualifying child for all of the following tax benefits,

Welfare benefits, effect of credit on. Any refund you receive as a
result of taking the EIC will not be used to determine if you are
eligible for the following programs or how much you can receive
from them. But if the refund you receive because of the EIC is not
spent within a certain period of time, it can count as an asset (or
resource) and affect your eligibility.
• Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
• Medicaid and supplemental security income (SSI).
• Food stamps and low-income housing.

11:06 - 24-JUL-2006

The type and rule above prints on all proofs including departmental reproduction proofs. MUST be removed before printing.

Form 1040 — Lines 67 Through 74d

Injured Spouse

Line 67

Line 70

Excess Social Security and
Tier 1 RRTA Tax Withheld

Check the box(es) on line 70 to report any
credit from Form 2439, 4136, or 8885.

If you, or your spouse if filing a joint return, had more than one employer for 2006
and total wages of more than $94,200, too
much social security or tier 1 railroad retirement (RRTA) tax may have been withheld. You can take a credit on this line for
the amount withheld in excess of
$5,840.40. But if any one employer withheld more than $5,840.40, you cannot
claim the excess on your return. The employer should adjust the tax for you. If the
employer does not adjust the overcollection, you can file a claim for refund using
Form 843. Figure this amount separately
for you and your spouse.
You cannot claim a refund for excess
tier 2 RRTA tax on Form 1040. Instead, use
Form 843.

Line 71
Credit for Federal Telephone
Excise Tax Paid
If you paid the federal telephone excise tax
on long distance service, you can claim a
credit for the tax. You cannot claim a refund for the tax on local service unless you
paid a flat charge for combined local and
long distance service.
The amount of the credit you can claim
is a safe harbor amount or you can choose
to claim the actual amount you paid. If you
choose to claim the actual amount paid, you
must attach Form 8913 showing the
amount paid.

If you file a joint return and your spouse
has not paid past-due federal tax, state income tax, child support, spousal support, or
a federal nontax debt, such as a student
loan, part or all of the overpayment on line
73 may be used (offset) to pay the past-due
amount. But your part of the overpayment
may be refunded to you if certain conditions apply and you complete Form 8379.
For details, use TeleTax topic 203 (see
page 8) or see Form 8379.

Lines 74a Through 74d
DIRECT DEPOSIT
Simple. Safe. Secure.

Fast Refunds! Choose direct deposit –a
fast, simple, safe, secure way to have
your refund deposited automatically
into your checking or savings account.

For more details, see Pub. 505.

Why Use Direct Deposit?

Refund
Line 68
Additional Child Tax Credit
What Is the Additional Child Tax
Credit?
This credit is for certain people who have at
least one qualifying child as defined in the
instructions for line 6c on page 19. The
additional child tax credit may give you a
refund even if you do not owe any tax.

Two Steps To Take the Additional
Child Tax Credit!
Step 1. Be sure you figured the amount, if
any, of your child tax credit. See the instructions for line 53 that begin on page 42.
Step 2. Read the TIP at the end of your
Child Tax Credit Worksheet. Use Form
8812 to see if you can take the additional
child tax credit, but only if you meet the
condition given in that TIP.

Line 69
Amount Paid With Request
for Extension To File
If you filed Form 4868 to get an automatic
extension of time to file Form 1040, enter
any amount you paid with that form or by
electronic funds withdrawal or credit card.
If you paid by credit card, do not include on
line 69 the convenience fee you were
charged. Also, include any amounts paid
with Form 2350.

Line 73
Amount Overpaid
If line 73 is under $1, we will send a refund
only on written request.
If you want to check the status of your
refund, please wait at least 6 weeks (3
weeks if you filed electronically) from the
date you filed your return to do so. But if
you filed Form 8379 with your return, allow 14 weeks (11 weeks if you filed electronically). See page 8 for details.

If the amount you overpaid is
large, you may want to decrease
the amount of income tax withheld from your pay by filing a
new Form W-4. See Income Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax Payments for 2007
on page 64.

TIP

Refund Offset
If you owe past-due federal tax, state income tax, child support, spousal support, or
certain federal nontax debts, such as student loans, all or part of the overpayment
on line 73 may be used (offset) to pay the
past-due amount. Offsets for federal taxes
are made by the IRS. All other offsets are
made by the Treasury Department’s Financial Management Service (FMS). For federal tax offsets, you will receive a notice
from the IRS. For all other offsets, you will
receive a notice from FMS. To find out if
you may have an offset or if you have any
questions about it, contact the agency to
which you owe the debt.

Need more information or forms? See page 7.

• You get your refund fast — in half the
time as paper filers if you e-file.
• Payment is more secure — there is no
check to get lost.
• More convenient. No trip to the bank
to deposit your check.
• Saves tax dollars. A refund by direct
deposit costs less than a check.
If you want us to directly deposit the
amount shown on line 74a into your checking or savings account at a bank or other
financial institution (such as a mutual fund,
brokerage firm, or credit union) in the
United States:
• Check the box on line 74a and attach
Form 8888, or
• Complete lines 74b through 74d.
Otherwise, we will send you a check.
Note. If you do not want your refund directly deposited into your account, do not
check the box on line 74a. Draw a line
through the boxes on lines 74b and 74d.

The IRS is not responsible for a
lost refund if you enter the
wrong account information.

If you file a joint return and check the
box on line 74a and attach Form 8888 or fill

Line 74a
If you want to split the direct deposit of
your refund among two or three accounts,
check the box on line 74a and attach Form
8888. You cannot split your refund if Form
8379 is filed with your return. If you want
your refund deposited into only one account, do not check the box on line 74a, but
instead complete lines 74b through 74d.

Line 74b
The routing number must be nine digits.
The first two digits must be 01 through 12
or 21 through 32. Otherwise, the direct deposit will be rejected and a check sent instead. On the sample check below, the
routing number is 250250025.
Your check may state that it is payable
through a financial institution different
from the one at which you have your checking account. If so, do not use the routing
number on that check. Instead, contact your
financial institution for the correct routing
number to enter on line 74b.

Line 74d
The account number can be up to 17 characters (both numbers and letters). Include
hyphens but omit spaces and special symbols. Enter the number from left to right

Form 1040 — Lines 74b Through 76

What If You Cannot Pay?
If you cannot pay the full amount shown on
line 76 when you file, you can ask to make
monthly installment payments for the full
or a partial amount. You may have up to 60
months to pay. However, you will be
charged interest and may be charged a late
payment penalty on the tax not paid by
April 16, 2007, even if your request to pay
in installments is granted. You must also
pay a fee. To limit the interest and penalty
charges, pay as much of the tax as possible
when you file. But before requesting an
installment agreement, you should consider
other less costly alternatives, such as a bank
loan or credit card payment.
To ask for an installment agreement, use
Form 9465. You should receive a response
to your request to make installment payments within 30 days. But if you file your
return after March 31, it may take us longer
to reply.

Line 77
Estimated Tax Penalty
You may owe this penalty if:
• Line 76 is at least $1,000 and it is
more than 10% of the tax shown on your
return, or
• You did not pay enough estimated tax
by any of the due dates. This is true even if
you are due a refund.
For most people, the “tax shown on your
return” is the amount on your 2006 Form
1040, line 63, minus the total of any
amounts shown on lines 66a and 68 and
Forms 8828, 4137, 4136, 5329 (Parts III
through VIII only), and 8885. Also subtract
from line 63 any tax on an excess parachute
payment and any excise tax on insider
stock compensation of an expatriated corporation. When figuring the amount on line
63, include the amount on line 62 only if
line 64 is more than zero or you would owe
the penalty even if you did not include
those taxes. But if you entered an amount
on Schedule H, line 7, include the total of
that amount plus the amount on Form 1040,
line 62.

ments for 2006 must have been made on
time and for the required amount.
For most people, the “tax shown on your
2005 return” is the amount on your 2005
Form 1040, line 63, minus the total of any
amounts shown on lines 66a and 68 and
Forms 8828, 4137, 4136, 5329 (Parts III
through VIII only), and 8885. Also subtract
from line 63 any tax on an excess parachute
payment and any excise tax on insider
stock compensation of an expatriated corporation. When figuring the amount on line
63, include the amount on line 62 only if
line 64 is more than zero or you would have
owed the estimated tax penalty for 2005
even if you did not include those taxes. But
if you entered an amount on your 2005
Schedule H, line 7, include the total of that
amount plus the amount on your 2005
Form 1040, line 62.

Figuring the Penalty
If the Exception above does not apply and
you choose to figure the penalty yourself,
see Form 2210 (or 2210-F for farmers and
fishermen) to find out if you owe the penalty. If you do, you can use the form to
figure the amount.
Enter the penalty on line 77. Add the
penalty to any tax due and enter the total on
line 76. If you are due a refund, subtract the
penalty from the overpayment you show on
line 73. Do not file Form 2210 with your
return unless Form 2210 indicates that you
must do so. Instead, keep it for your records.

Because Form 2210 is complicated, you can leave line 77
TIP
blank and the IRS will figure
the penalty and send you a bill.
We will not charge you interest on the penalty if you pay by the date specified on the
bill. If your income varied during the year,
the annualized income installment method
may reduce the amount of your penalty.
But you must file Form 2210 because the
IRS cannot figure your penalty under this
method. See the Instructions for Form 2210
for other situations in which you may be
able to lower your penalty by filing Form
2210.

Exception. You will not owe the penalty if

your 2005 tax return was for a tax year of
12 full months and either of the following
applies.
1. You had no tax shown on your 2005
return and you were a U.S. citizen or resident for all of 2005, or
2. The total of lines 64, 65, and 67 on
your 2006 return is at least 100% of the tax
shown on your 2005 return (110% of that
amount if you are not a farmer or fisherman
and your adjusted gross income shown on
that return is more than $150,000, or if
married filing separately for 2006, more
than $75,000). Your estimated tax pay-

Third Party Designee
If you want to allow a friend, family member, or any other person you choose to discuss your 2006 tax return with the IRS,
check the “Yes” box in the “Third Party
Designee” area of your return. Also, enter
the designee’s name, phone number, and
any five digits the designee chooses as his
or her personal identification number
(PIN). But if you want to allow the paid
preparer who signed your return to discuss
it with the IRS, just enter “Preparer” in the
space for the designee’s name. You do not

Need more information or forms? See page 7.

have to provide the other information requested.
If you check the “Yes” box, you, and
your spouse if filing a joint return, are authorizing the IRS to call the designee to
answer any questions that may arise during
the processing of your return. You are also
authorizing the designee to:
• Give the IRS any information that is
missing from your return,
• Call the IRS for information about the
processing of your return or the status of
your refund or payment(s),
• Receive copies of notices or transcripts related to your return, upon request,
and
• Respond to certain IRS notices about
math errors, offsets, and return preparation.
You are not authorizing the designee to
receive any refund check, bind you to anything (including any additional tax liability), or otherwise represent you before the
IRS. If you want to expand the designee’s
authorization, see Pub. 947.
The authorization will automatically
end no later than the due date (without regard to extensions) for filing your 2007 tax
return. This is April 15, 2008, for most
people. If you wish to revoke the authorization before it ends, see Pub. 947.

Sign Your Return
Form 1040 is not considered a valid return
unless you sign it. If you are filing a joint
return, your spouse must also sign. If your
spouse cannot sign the return, see Pub. 501.
Be sure to date your return and enter your
occupation(s). If you have someone prepare your return, you are still responsible
for the correctness of the return. If your
return is signed by a representative for you,
you must have a power of attorney attached
that specifically authorizes the representative to sign your return. To do this, you can
use Form 2848. If you are filing a joint
return as a surviving spouse, see Death of a
Taxpayer on page 64.

Child’s Return
If your child cannot sign the return, either
parent can sign the child’s name in the
space provided. Then, enter “By (your signature), parent for minor child.”

Daytime Phone Number
Providing your daytime phone number may
help speed the processing of your return.
We may have questions about items on
your return, such as the earned income
credit, credit for child and dependent care
expenses, etc. If you answer our questions
over the phone, we may be able to continue
processing your return without mailing you
a letter. If you are filing a joint return, you

can enter either your or your spouse’s daytime phone number.

Paid Preparer Must Sign
Your Return
Generally, anyone you pay to prepare your
return must sign it in the space provided.
The preparer must give you a copy of the
return for your records. Someone who
prepares your return but does not charge
you should not sign your return.

Electronic Return
Signatures!
Create your own personal identification
number (PIN) and file a paperless return
electronically or use a tax professional. If
you are married filing jointly, you and your
spouse will each need to create a PIN and
enter these PINs as your electronic signatures.
A PIN is any combination of five digits
you choose except five zeros. If you use a
PIN, there is nothing to sign and nothing to
mail — not even your Forms W-2.
To verify your identity, you will be
prompted to enter your adjusted gross in-

come (AGI) from your originally filed
2005 federal income tax return, if applicable. Do not use your AGI from an amended
return (Form 1040X), a math error notice,
or an IRS examination report. AGI is the
amount shown on your 2005 Form 1040,
line 38; Form 1040A, line 21; or Form
1040EZ, line 4. If you do not have your
2005 income tax return, call the IRS at
1-800-829-1040 to get a free transcript of
your return. You will also be prompted to
enter your date of birth (DOB). Make sure
your DOB is accurate and matches the information on record with the Social Security Administration by checking your annual
social security statement.

General Information
How To Avoid Common
Mistakes
Mistakes can delay your refund or result in
notices being sent to you.
• Make sure you entered the correct
name and social security number (SSN) for
each dependent you claim on line 6c.
Check that each dependent’s name and
SSN agrees with his or her social security
card. For each child under age 17 who is a
qualifying child for the child tax credit,
make sure you either checked the box in
line 6c, column (4), or completed Form
8901.
• Check your math, especially for the
child tax credit, earned income credit
(EIC), taxable social security benefits, total
income, itemized deductions or standard
deduction, deduction for exemptions, taxable income, total tax, federal income tax
withheld, and refund or amount you owe.
• Be sure you use the correct method to
figure your tax. See the instructions for line
44 that begin on page 36.
• Be sure to enter your SSN in the space
provided on page 1 of Form 1040. If you
are married filing a joint or separate return,
also enter your spouse’s SSN. Be sure to
enter your SSN in the space next to your
name. Check that your name and SSN
agree with your social security card.

• Make sure your name and address are
correct on the peel-off label. If not, enter
the correct information. If you did not get a
peel-off label, enter your (and your
spouse’s) name in the same order as shown
on your last return. Check that your name
agrees with your social security card.
• If you are taking the standard deduction and you checked any box on line 39a
or 39b or you (or your spouse if filing
jointly) can be claimed as a dependent on
someone else’s 2006 return, see page 35 to
be sure you entered the correct amount on
line 40.
• If you received capital gain distributions but were not required to file Schedule
D, make sure you checked the box on line
13.
• If you are taking the EIC, be sure you
used the correct column of the EIC Table
for your filing status and the number of
children you have.
• Remember to sign and date Form
1040 and enter your occupation(s).
• Attach your Form(s) W-2 and other
required forms and schedules. Put all forms
and schedules in the proper order. See Assemble Your Return above.
• If you owe tax and are paying by
check or money order, be sure to include all
the required information on your payment.
See the instructions for line 76 on page 61
for details.

What Are Your Rights
as a Taxpayer?
You have the right to be treated fairly, professionally, promptly, and courteously by
IRS employees. Our goal at the IRS is to
protect your rights so that you will have the
highest confidence in the integrity, efficiency, and fairness of our tax system. To
ensure that you always receive such treatment, you should know about the many
rights you have at each step of the tax process. For details, see Pub. 1.
It is the policy of the IRS to treat all
taxpayers fairly without regard to race,
color, national origin, age, sex, or disability. If you believe that the IRS has violated
one of your civil rights, contact the IRS
External Civil Rights office at
202-927-6410 (TDD:202-622-3452) (not
toll-free numbers).

Innocent Spouse Relief
Generally, both you and your spouse are
each responsible for paying the full amount
of tax, interest, and penalties on your joint
return. However, you may qualify for relief
from liability for tax on a joint return if (a)
there is an understatement of tax because
your spouse omitted income or claimed
false deductions or credits, (b) you are di-

Page 64 of 86 of Instructions 1040

11:06 - 24-JUL-2006

The type and rule above prints on all proofs including departmental reproduction proofs. MUST be removed before printing.

vorced, separated, or no longer living with
your spouse, or (c) given all the facts and
circumstances, it would not be fair to hold
you liable for the tax. To request relief, you
must file Form 8857 no later than 2 years
after the date on which the IRS first attempted to collect the tax from you. For
more information, see Pub. 971 and Form
8857.

Income Tax
Withholding and
Estimated Tax
Payments for 2007
If the amount you owe or the amount you
overpaid is large, you may want to file a
new Form W-4 with your employer to
change the amount of income tax withheld
from your 2007 pay. For details on how to
complete Form W-4, see Pub. 919.
In general, you do not have to make
estimated tax payments if you expect that
your 2007 Form 1040 will show a tax refund or a tax balance due of less than
$1,000. If your total estimated tax (including any household employment taxes and
alternative minimum tax) for 2007 is
$1,000 or more, see Form 1040-ES. It has a
worksheet you can use to see if you have to
make estimated tax payments. For more details, see Pub. 505.

Do Both the Name and
SSN on Your Tax
Forms Agree With Your
Social Security Card?
If not, certain deductions and credits may
be reduced or disallowed, your refund may
be delayed, and you may not receive credit
for your social security earnings. If your
Form W-2, Form 1099, or other tax document shows an incorrect SSN or name, notify your employer or the form-issuing
agent as soon as possible to make sure your
earnings are credited to your social security
record. If the name or SSN on your social
security card is incorrect, call the Social
Security Administration at
1-800-772-1213.

Identity Theft
If you believe someone has assumed your
identity to file federal income tax returns,
or to commit other tax fraud, complete
Form 3949-A, Information Referral, and
mail it to Internal Revenue Service, Fresno,
CA 93888. Victims of identity theft who
are having trouble filing their returns
should call the Taxpayer Advocate at
1-877-777-4778.

The IRS does not send out unsolicited
emails requesting personal taxpayer information. If you receive this type of request,
it may be an attempt by identity thieves to
get your private tax information. Please
send a copy of the fraudulent email to
phishing@irs.gov. For instructions on how
to properly submit one of these communications to the IRS, go to www.irs.gov and
enter keyword “phishing.” Further instructions are listed in the article titled “How To
Protect Yourself From Suspicious E-Mails
or Phishing Schemes.” For additional information about identity theft prevention and
victim assistance, you can access the IRS
Identity Theft page at www.irs.gov by entering keyword “identity theft.”

How Do You Make a
Gift To Reduce Debt
Held By the Public?
If you wish to do so, make a check payable
to “Bureau of the Public Debt.” You can
send it to: Bureau of the Public Debt, Department G, P.O. Box 2188, Parkersburg,
WV 26106-2188. Or you can enclose the
check with your income tax return when
you file. Do not add your gift to any tax you
may owe. See page 61 for details on how to
pay any tax you owe.

TIP

You may be able to deduct this
gift on your 2007 tax return.

How Long Should
Records Be Kept?
Keep a copy of your tax return, worksheets
you used, and records of all items appearing on it (such as Forms W-2 and 1099)
until the statute of limitations runs out for
that return. Usually, this is 3 years from the
date the return was due or filed, or 2 years
from the date the tax was paid, whichever is
later. You should keep some records
longer. For example, keep property records
(including those on your home) as long as
they are needed to figure the basis of the
original or replacement property. For more
details, see Pub. 552.

Amended Return
File Form 1040X to change a return you
already filed. Generally, Form 1040X must
be filed within 3 years after the date the
original return was filed, or within 2 years
after the date the tax was paid, whichever is
later. But you may have more time to file
Form 1040X if you live in a Presidentially
declared disaster area or you are physically
or mentally unable to manage your financial affairs. See Pub. 556 for details.

- 64 -

Need a Copy of Your
Tax Return?
If you need a copy of your tax return, use
Form 4506. There is a $39 fee for each
return requested. If your main home, principal place of business, or tax records are
located in a Presidentially declared disaster
area, this fee will be waived. If you want a
free transcript of your tax return or account,
use Form 4506-T or call us. See page 10 for
the number.

Death of a Taxpayer
If a taxpayer died before filing a return for
2006, the taxpayer’s spouse or personal
representative may have to file and sign a
return for that taxpayer. A personal representative can be an executor, administrator,
or anyone who is in charge of the deceased
taxpayer’s property. If the deceased taxpayer did not have to file a return but had
tax withheld, a return must be filed to get a
refund. The person who files the return
must enter “Deceased,” the deceased
taxpayer’s name, and the date of death
across the top of the return. If this information is not provided, it may delay the
processing of the return.
If your spouse died in 2006 and you did
not remarry in 2006, or if your spouse died
in 2007 before filing a return for 2006, you
can file a joint return. A joint return should
show your spouse’s 2006 income before
death and your income for all of 2006.
Enter “Filing as surviving spouse” in the
area where you sign the return. If someone
else is the personal representative, he or she
must also sign.
The surviving spouse or personal representative should promptly notify all payers
of income, including financial institutions,
of the taxpayer’s death. This will ensure the
proper reporting of income earned by the
taxpayer’s estate or heirs. A deceased
taxpayer’s social security number should
not be used for tax years after the year of
death, except for estate tax return purposes.

Claiming a Refund for a
Deceased Taxpayer
If you are filing a joint return as a surviving
spouse, you only need to file the tax return
to claim the refund. If you are a court-appointed representative, file the return and
attach a copy of the certificate that shows
your appointment. All other filers requesting the deceased taxpayer’s refund must
file the return and attach Form 1310.
For more details, use TeleTax topic 356
(see page 8) or see Pub. 559.

Research Your Tax
Questions Online
You can find answers to many of your tax
questions online in several ways by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/help
and then clicking on “Help With Tax Questions.” Here are some of the methods you
may want to try.
• Frequently asked questions. This section contains an extensive list of questions
and answers. You can select your question
by category or keyword.
• Tax trails. This is an interactive section which asks questions you can answer
by selecting “Yes” or “No.”
• Tax topics. This section provides a
broad picture of tax topics beginning with
17 main categories. Each topic link leads to
further categories and then to a discussion
of the topic.

Free Help With Your Return
Free help in preparing your return is available nationwide from IRS-sponsored volunteers. The Volunteer Income Tax
Assistance (VITA) program is designed to
help low-income taxpayers and the Tax
Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) program
is designed to assist taxpayers age 60 or
older with their tax returns. Many VITA
sites offer free electronic filing and all volunteers will let you know about the credits
and deductions you may be entitled to
claim. If you are a member of the military,
you can also get assistance on military tax
benefits, such as combat zone tax benefits,
at an office within your installation. For
more information on these programs, go to
www.irs.gov and enter keyword “VITA” in
the upper right corner. Or, call us. See page
10 for the number. To find the nearest
AARP Tax-Aide site, visit AARP’s website at www.aarp.org/taxaide or call
1-888-227-7669.

When you go for help, take your photo
ID and social security numbers (or individual taxpayer identification numbers) for
your spouse, your dependents, and yourself. Also take a copy of your 2005 tax
return (if available), all your Forms W-2,
1099, and 1098 for 2006, and any other
information about your 2006 income and
expenses.

Everyday Tax Solutions
You can get face-to-face help solving tax
problems every business day in IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers. An employee
can explain IRS letters, request adjustments
to your account, or help you set up a payment plan. Call your local Taxpayer Assistance Center for an appointment. To find
the number, go to www.irs.gov/localcontacts or look in the phone book under
“United States Government, Internal Revenue Service.”

Online Services
If you subscribe to an online service, ask
about online filing or tax information.

Help for People With
Disabilities
Telephone help is available using TTY/
TDD equipment by calling
1-800-829-4059. Braille materials are
available at libraries that have special services for people with disabilities.

Interest and Penalties
You do not have to figure the amount of
any interest or penalties you may owe. Because figuring these amounts can be complicated, we will do it for you if you want.
We will send you a bill for any amount due.
If you include interest or penalties
(other than the estimated tax penalty) with
your payment, identify and enter the
amount in the bottom margin of Form
1040, page 2. Do not include interest or
penalties (other than the estimated tax penalty) in the amount you owe on line 76.

Interest
We will charge you interest on taxes not
paid by their due date, even if an extension

- 65 -

of time to file is granted. We will also
charge you interest on penalties imposed
for failure to file, negligence, fraud, substantial valuation misstatements, substantial understatements of tax, and reportable
transaction understatements. Interest is
charged on the penalty from the due date of
the return (including extensions).

Penalties
Late filing. If you do not file your return
by the due date (including extensions), the
penalty is usually 5% of the amount due for
each month or part of a month your return
is late, unless you have a reasonable explanation. If you do, attach it to your return.
The penalty can be as much as 25% of the
tax due. The penalty is 15% per month, up
to a maximum of 75%, if the failure to file
is fraudulent. If your return is more than 60
days late, the minimum penalty will be
$100 or the amount of any tax you owe,
whichever is smaller.
Late payment of tax. If you pay your taxes
late, the penalty is usually 1⁄2 of 1% of the
unpaid amount for each month or part of a
month the tax is not paid. The penalty can
be as much as 25% of the unpaid amount. It
applies to any unpaid tax on the return. This
penalty is in addition to interest charges on
late payments.
Frivolous return. In addition to any other
penalties, the law imposes a penalty of
$500 for filing a frivolous return. A frivolous return is one that does not contain information needed to figure the correct tax
or shows a substantially incorrect tax because you take a frivolous position or desire to delay or interfere with the tax laws.
This includes altering or striking out the
preprinted language above the space where
you sign.
Other. Other penalties can be imposed for
negligence, substantial understatement of
tax, reportable transaction understatements,
and fraud. Criminal penalties may be imposed for willful failure to file, tax evasion,
or making a false statement. See Pub. 17 for
details on some of these penalties.

Example. Mr. and Mrs. Brown are filing a joint return. Their
taxable income on Form 1040, line 43, is $25,300. First,
they find the $25,300–25,350 taxable income line. Next, they
find the column for married filing jointly and read down the
column. The amount shown where the taxable income line
and filing status column meet is $3,069. This is the tax
amount they should enter on Form 1040, line 44.

Disclosure, Privacy Act, and Paperwork Reduction Act Notice
The IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998,
the Privacy Act of 1974, and the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1980 require that when we ask
you for information we must first tell you our
legal right to ask for the information, why we are
asking for it, and how it will be used. We must
also tell you what could happen if we do not
receive it and whether your response is voluntary, required to obtain a benefit, or mandatory
under the law.
This notice applies to all papers you file with
us, including this tax return. It also applies to
any questions we need to ask you so we can
complete, correct, or process your return; figure
your tax; and collect tax, interest, or penalties.
Our legal right to ask for information is Internal Revenue Code sections 6001, 6011, and
6012(a), and their regulations. They say that you
must file a return or statement with us for any tax
you are liable for. Your response is mandatory
under these sections. Code section 6109 requires
that you provide your social security number or
individual taxpayer identification number on
what you file. This is so we know who you are,
and can process your return and other papers.
You must fill in all parts of the tax form that
apply to you. But you do not have to check the
boxes for the Presidential Election Campaign
Fund or for the third-party designee. You also do
not have to provide your daytime phone number.
You are not required to provide the information requested on a form that is subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act unless the form displays a valid OMB control number. Books or
records relating to a form or its instructions must
be retained as long as their contents may become

material in the administration of any Internal
Revenue law.
We ask for tax return information to carry
out the tax laws of the United States. We need it
to figure and collect the right amount of tax.
If you do not file a return, do not provide the
information we ask for, or provide fraudulent
information, you may be charged penalties and
be subject to criminal prosecution. We may also
have to disallow the exemptions, exclusions,
credits, deductions, or adjustments shown on the
tax return. This could make the tax higher or
delay any refund. Interest may also be charged.
Generally, tax returns and return information
are confidential, as stated in Code section 6103.
However, Code section 6103 allows or requires
the Internal Revenue Service to disclose or give
the information shown on your tax return to
others as described in the Code. For example, we
may disclose your tax information to the Department of Justice to enforce the tax laws, both civil
and criminal, and to cities, states, the District of
Columbia, U.S. commonwealths or possessions,
and certain foreign governments to carry out
their tax laws. We may disclose your tax information to the Department of Treasury and contractors for tax administration purposes; and to
other persons as necessary to obtain information
which we cannot get in any other way in order to
determine the amount of or to collect the tax you
owe. We may disclose your tax information to
the Comptroller General of the United States to
permit the Comptroller General to review the
Internal Revenue Service. We may disclose your
tax information to committees of Congress; federal, state, and local child support agencies; and

- 79 -

to other federal agencies for the purposes of
determining entitlement for benefits or the eligibility for and the repayment of loans. We may
also disclose this information to other countries
under a tax treaty, to federal and state agencies
to enforce federal nontax criminal laws, or to
federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism.
Please keep this notice with your records. It
may help you if we ask you for other information. If you have questions about the rules for
filing and giving information, please call or visit
any Internal Revenue Service office.

We Welcome Comments on
Forms
We try to create forms and instructions that can
be easily understood. Often this is difficult to do
because our tax laws are very complex. For
some people with income mostly from wages,
filling in the forms is easy. For others who have
businesses, pensions, stocks, rental income, or
other investments, it is more difficult.
If you have suggestions for making these
forms simpler, we would be happy to hear from
you. You can email us at *taxforms@irs.gov.
(The asterisk must be included in the address.)
Please put “Forms Comment” on the subject
line. Or you can write to Internal Revenue Service, Tax Products Coordinating Committee,
SE:W:CAR:MP:T:T:SP, 1111 Constitution
Ave. NW, IR-6406, Washington, DC 20224. Do
not send your return to this address. Instead, see
the back cover.

Estimates of Taxpayer Burden
The new estimates of taxpayer burden shown
below were developed by the IRS to better measure and understand the burden taxpayers experience when preparing their taxes. These
estimates of average preparation times and
out-of-pocket expenses are based on a new survey of taxpayers and a more accurate method of
estimating taxpayer burden. They focus on taxpayer characteristics and activities, rather than
forms, and replace the burden estimates shown
in prior year tax form instructions. The informa-

tion collected to figure the new estimates includes type of taxpayer, preparation method,
filing method, and taxpayer activities. The new
estimates shown below are grouped by principal
combinations of forms submitted and are not
available separately for each form.
These changes create a one-time shift in estimates of burden levels. Comparisons should not
be made between these and earlier published
estimates.
To determine the average burden of taxpayers like you, select the row in the table below

that applies to you. You are a “business” filer if
you file one or more of the following with your
Form 1040: Schedule C, C-EZ, E, or F or Form
2106 or 2106-EZ. You are a “nonbusiness” filer
if you did not file any of those schedules or
forms with your Form 1040.
If you have comments concerning the time
and expense estimates below, you can contact us
at either one of the addresses shown under We
Welcome Comments on Forms on page 79.

Estimated Average Preparation Times and Out-of-Pocket Expenses by Return Preparation Method
The average time and expenses required to complete and file Form 1040, its schedules, and accompanying forms will vary depending on

On or before the first Monday in February
of each year, the President is required by
law to submit to the Congress a budget
proposal for the fiscal year that begins the
following October. The budget plan sets
forth the President’s proposed receipts,
spending, and the surplus or deficit for the
Federal Government. The plan includes
recommendations for new legislation as
well as recommendations to change, eliminate, and add programs. After receiving the
President’s proposal, the Congress reviews
it and makes changes. It first passes a
budget resolution setting its own targets for
receipts, outlays, and the surplus or deficit.
Next, individual spending and revenue bills
that are consistent with the goals of the
budget resolution are enacted.
In fiscal year 2005 (which began on October 1, 2004, and ended on September 30,
2005), federal income was $2.2 trillion and

gift, and miscellaneous
taxes

outlays were $2.5 trillion, leaving a deficit
of $0.3 trillion.

Footnotes for Certain Federal
Outlays
1. Social security, Medicare, and
other retirement: These programs provide
income support for the retired and disabled
and medical care for the elderly.
2. National defense, veterans, and foreign affairs: About 20% of outlays were to
equip, modernize, and pay our armed
forces and to fund the Global War on Terrorism and other national defense activities; about 3% were for veterans benefits
and services; and about 1% were for international activities, including military and
economic assistance to foreign countries
and the maintenance of U.S. embassies
abroad.

Net interest on
the debt
7%

24%

3. Physical, human, and community
development: These outlays were for agriculture; natural resources; environment;
transportation; aid for elementary and secondary education and direct assistance to
college students; job training; deposit insurance, commerce and housing credit, and
community development; and space, energy, and general science programs.
4. Social programs: About 14% of total
outlays were for Medicaid, food stamps,
temporary assistance for needy families,
supplemental security income, and related
programs; and the remaining outlays were
for health research and public health programs, unemployment compensation, assisted housing, and social services.

Note. The percentages on this page exclude undistributed offsetting receipts, which were $65 billion in fiscal year 2005. In the budget, these receipts are offset against
spending in figuring the outlay totals shown above. These receipts are for the U.S. Government’s share of its employee retirement programs, rents and royalties on the
Outer Continental Shelf, and proceeds from the sale of assets.
