of items that married, filing separate, taxpayers cannot take. IRC 222(d)(4). I.P.
Action Number 65.00016.

•

Under the “Head of Household” instruction, we added a discussion of the
special rule for a taxpayer married to a nonresident alien. IRC 2(b)(2)(B). These
taxpayers are eligible for head of household filing status for purposes of
computing the tax, but are instructed to enter “NRA spouse” on line 4 because
they are treated as married filing separately for most other items.

Pages 16 - 18
•

Under the instructions for “Line 4,” “Line 5,” and “Line 6c,” we removed the TIPs
that refer to special rules for people who had to temporarily relocate because of

Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. IRC 1400Q(a)(4).

Page 24
•

We added the discussion, “Retired public safety officer” to the “Lines 12a and
12b” instruction. PL 109-280, Sec. 845.

•

We revised Line 6 of the “Simplified Method Worksheet” to make reference to
line 10 of the prior year’s worksheet.

Page 25
•

We removed the paragraph and reference to “Jury duty pay” from the “Line 13”
instruction. Jury duty pay has been replaced on Form 1040A by the tuition and
fees deduction, which was extended through 2007. PL 109-432, Sec. 101. I.P.
Action Number 65.00016.

through 2007. PL 109-432, Sec. 108. I.P. Action Number 65.00114.

Page 26
•

Because the tuition and fees deduction has replaced the deduction for jury duty
pay on Form 1040A, we removed the reference to Form 1040A, line 19, from

“Before you begin:” and in line 6. PL 109-432, Sec. 101. I.P. Action Number
65.00016.

reservist distributions. PL 109-280, Sec. 827.

We added a bullet paragraph under the “Line 17” instructions regarding the
increased IRA contribution limit for 401(k) participants whose employer filed
Chapter 11 bankruptcy in an earlier year. PL 109-280, Sec. 831.

Page 28

pay on Form 1040A, we removed the reference to Form 1040A, line 19, from
“Before you begin:” and in line 4. PL 109-432, Sec. 101. I.P. Action Number
65.00016.

joint and are covered by a retirement plan. Rev. Proc. 2006-53, Sec. 3.21; IRC
219(g)(2)(A)(ii); and IRC 219(g)(7).

returns. IRC 219(g)(2)(A)(ii) and IRC 219(g)(7). I.P. Action Number 65.00705;
I.P. Action Number 65.00040.

Worksheet,” we increased the amounts of modified AGI for figuring the student
loan interest deduction. Rev. Proc. 2006-53, Sec. 3.23. Within the second bullet
in the list of qualifications to take the deduction, we added a sentence to clarify
that the deduction cannot be claimed by a person who is filing head of household
under the rule for being married to a nonresident alien. IRC 221(e)(3). We
increased the exemption amount under “Qualified student loan.” Rev. Proc.
2006-53, Sec. 3.18.

•

Because the tuition and fees deduction has replaced the deduction for jury duty
pay on Form 1040A, we removed the reference to Form 1040A, line 19, from the
“Before you begin:” and in line 3 of the “Student Loan Interest Deduction
Worksheet.” PL 109-432, Sec. 101. I.P. Action Number 65.00016.

Action Number 65.00066.

•

Under “Alternative minimum tax,” we revised the dollar amounts (to determine
whether taxpayers must use the worksheet on page 33) in item 1 as a result of
changes in the exemption amount, standard deduction amounts, AMT exemption
amounts, and the regular tax rates. IRC 56(b)(1)(E). We decreased the AMT
exemption amounts under item 2. IRC 55(d)(1). I.P. Action Number 65.00041.

Use IRS e-file if you don’t qualify for
Free File. There are three ways:
➜ Use a tax professional.

Make Under $54,000? e-file For Free!

Many taxpayers rely on tax professionals to handle
their returns and most tax professionals can e-file your
return & you just have to be sure to ask.
Also, tax professionals can charge a fee for IRS e-file.
Fees can vary depending on the professional and
specific services rendered, so be sure to discuss this
upfront.

If your 2007 adjusted gross income was $54,000 or less,
you’re one of the 95+ million taxpayers who are eligible for
Free File. Free File, a service offered by the IRS in
partnership with the Free File Alliance, a group of tax
preparation software companies, is:
● Fast, easy and safe to use

➜ Use a computer.

● Available in English and Spanish

You can easily electronically prepare and e-file your
own tax return. To do so, you’ll need:
● A computer with Internet access, and
● IRS-approved tax preparation software which is
available via the Internet for online use, for
download from the Internet, and in retail stores for
offline use. Visit www.irs.gov/efile for details.

● Accessible online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
(You will need internet access to Free File. Also,
Free File can only be accessed by going through
the www.irs.gov website — even if you used Free
File in previous years.)
● Absolutely FREE. No hidden fees

➜ Use a volunteer.
The VITA Program offers free tax help for low to
moderate income taxpayers. The Tax Counseling for
the Elderly (TCE) Program provides free tax help to
people age 60 and older.

If you don’t qualify for Free File, then you may want to
check out the Partners Page on www.irs.gov for low-cost
e-file options.

e-file! It’s Never Been Easier.
It’s easy to see why more than 60% of taxpayers e-file their tax returns electronically: it’s faster, easier and more convenient
than paper filing. e-filing also reduces the chance of making mistakes. Plus, if your 2007 adjusted grossincome was $54,000 or
less, you can e-file for FREE by using Free File at www.irs.gov!

e-file and Get the Benefits
●

A faster refund than by paper filingœ in as little as 10 days with Direct Deposit

●

An e-mailed proof of receipt within 48 hours after the IRS receives your return
which you can’t get with paper filing

●

Reduced chance of making mistakes since IRS e-file software checks your
return. In fact, e-filed returns have a 1% or less error rate, compared to 20% with
paper returns. (Please note that e-filing your tax returns does not impact or change
the chance of an audit.)

●

Save time by preparing and e-filing federal and state returns together

●

You can electronically sign your return with a secure, self-selected PIN number

●

If you owe, you can authorize an electronic funds withdrawal or pay by credit
card. You can also file a return early and pay the amount you owe later

●

Help the environment, use less paper and save taxpayer money — it costs less
to process an e-filed return than a paper return

Totally Safe and Secure
More than half a billion federal tax returns have been e-filed! The IRS uses the most
secure technology available to safeguard your personal information. So you can rest
assured that when you e-file, your information will be safe.

Visit: www.irs.gov/efile for the latest information.

You can accomplish many things electronically within www.irs.gov. The Electronic IRS is a gateway to the many IRS
electronic options and its available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Should you choose to file a paper return, you’ll
findinformation, resources and all of the forms ready to download.

Name and Address
Use the Peel-Off Label
Using your peel-off name and address label on the back cover 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 the 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 you file your return. This
prevents delays in processing your return and issuing refunds. It
also safeguards your future social security benefits. See page 56 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 husband’s or wife’s name on line 3 instead of below your
name.

TIP

If you filed a joint return for 2006 and you are filing a
joint return for 2007 with the same spouse, be sure to
enter your names and SSNs in the same order as on your
2006 return.

P.O. box. Enter your box number only if your post office does not

or she must have either an SSN or an ITIN if:
• You file a joint return,
• You file a separate return and claim an exemption for your

• Your spouse is filing a separate return.

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.

Filing Status
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.

Foreign address. Enter the information in the following order:

TIP

City, province or state, and country. Follow the country’s practice
for entering the postal code. Do not abbreviate the country name.

More than one filing status can apply to you. Choose the
one that will give you the lowest tax.

What if a taxpayer died? See Death of a taxpayer on page 57.

Line 1

Social Security Number (SSN)

Single

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 once the SSA has all the evidence and information it needs.
Check that your SSN on your Forms W-2 and 1099 agrees with
your social security card. If not, see page 56 for more details.

You can check the box on line 1 if any of the following was true on
December 31, 2007.
• You were never married.
• You were legally separated, according to your state law, under
a decree of divorce or separate maintenance.
• You were widowed before January 1, 2007, and did not remarry before the end of 2007. But, if you have a dependent child,
you may be able to use the qualifying widow(er) filing status. See
the instructions for line 5 on page 20.

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.

!

CAUTION

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.

Line 2
Married Filing Jointly
You can check the box on line 2 if any of the following apply.
• You were married at the end of 2007, even if you did not live
with your spouse at the end of 2007.
• Your spouse died in 2007 and you did not remarry in 2007.
• You were married at the end of 2007, and your spouse died in
2008 before filing a 2007 return.

16:09 - 26-JUL-2007

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

Form 1040A — Lines 2 Through 4
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 filing jointly report their combined income and deduct their
combined allowable expenses on one return. They 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 56.
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 2007, 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 for which you qualify.
Also, if you file a separate return, you cannot take the student loan
interest deduction, the tuition and fees 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 24.

TIP

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 2007. See Married
persons who live apart on this page.

Line 4
Head of Household
This filing status is for unmarried individuals who provide a home
for certain other persons. (Some married persons who live apart are
considered unmarried. See Married persons who live apart on this
page. If you are married to a nonresident alien, you may also be
considered unmarried. See Nonresident alien spouse on this page.)
You can check the box on line 4 only if you were unmarried or
legally separated (according to your state law) under a decree of
divorce or separate maintenance at the end of 2007 and either Test 1
or Test 2 below applies.
Test 1. You paid over half the cost of keeping up a home that was
the main home for all of 2007 of your parent whom you can claim
as a dependent, except under a multiple support agreement (see
page 23). Your parent did not have to live with you.
Test 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
on this page).
1. Any person whom you can claim as a dependent. But do not
include:
a. Your qualifying child (as defined in Step 1 on page 21) whom
you claim as your dependent based on the rule for Children of
divorced or separated parents beginning on page 22,

Need more information or forms? See page 7.

b. Any person who is your dependent only because he or she
lived with you for all of 2007, or
c. Any person you claimed as a dependent under a multiple
support agreement (see page 23).
2. Your unmarried qualifying child who is not your dependent.
3. Your married qualifying child who is not your dependent only
because you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s 2007
return.
4. Your child who is neither your dependent nor your qualifying
child because of the rule for Children of divorced or separated
parents beginning on page 22.
If the child is not your dependent, enter the child’s name on line
4. If you do not enter the name, it will take us longer to process your
return.
Dependent. To find out if someone is your dependent, see the

instructions for line 6c that begin on page 21.
Exception to time lived with you. Temporary absences for special

circumstances, such as for school, vacation, medical care, military
service, and detention in a juvenile facility, count as time lived in
the home. If the person for whom you kept up a home was born or
died in 2007, 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 23, 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 the
cost.
Married persons who live apart. Even if you were not divorced or

legally separated at the end of 2007, you are considered unmarried
if all of the following apply.
• You lived apart from your spouse for the last 6 months of
2007. 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 2007.
• Your home was the main home of your child, stepchild, or
foster child for more than half of 2007 (if half or less, see Exception
to time lived with you on this page).
• You can claim this child as your dependent or could claim the
child except that the child’s other parent can claim him or her under
the rule for Children of divorced or separated parents beginning on
page 22.
Adopted child. An adopted child is always treated as your own
child. An adopted child includes a child lawfully placed with you
for legal adoption.
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.
Nonresident alien spouse. You are considered unmarried for head
of household purposes if your spouse was a nonresident alien at any
time during the year and you do not choose to treat him or her as a
resident alien. To claim head of household filing status, you must
also meet Test 1 or Test 2 on this page.
If this applies, and you do not meet the requirements listed under
Married persons who live apart on this page, enter “NRA spouse”
on line 4. You are treated as head of household when using:

instructions). See, for example, the instructions for lines 18 and 31.

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 the
cost.

Qualifying Widow(er) With Dependent Child

Exemptions

You can check the box on line 5 and use joint return tax rates for
2007 if all of the following apply.

Check the box on line 6b if either of the following applies.
1. Your filing status is married filing jointly and your spouse
cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person’s return.
2. You were married at the end of 2007, your filing status is
married filing separately or head of household, and both of the
following apply.

person’s return.
If your filing status is head of household and you check the box
on line 6b, enter the name of your spouse on the line next to line 6b.
Also, enter your spouse’s social security number in the space provided at the top of your return. If you were divorced or legally
separated at the end of 2007, you cannot take an exemption for your
former spouse. If, at the end of 2007, your divorce was not final (an
interlocutory decree), you are considered married for the whole
year.
Death of your spouse. If your spouse died in 2007 and you did not
remarry by the end of 2007, check the box on line 6b if you could
have taken an exemption for your spouse on the date of death. For

as being the qualifying child or qualifying relative of his or her
noncustodial parent (the parent with whom the child lived for the
lesser part of 2007) if all of the following conditions apply.
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 2007.
2. The child received over half of his or her support for 2007
from the parents (without regard to the rules on Multiple
support agreements on page 23). Support of a child received
from a parent’s spouse is treated as provided by the parent.
3. The child is in custody of one or both of the parents for more
than half of 2007.
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 2007 and the noncustodial parent attaches the
form or statement to his or her return. If the divorce decree or
separation agreement went into effect after 1984, the noncustodial parent can attach certain pages from the decree or
agreement instead of Form 8332. See Post-1984 decree or
agreement on page 23.
b. A pre-1985 decree of divorce or separate maintenance or
written separation agreement between the parents provides
that the noncustodial parent can claim the child as a dependent, and the noncustodial parent provides at least $600 for
support of the child during 2007.
If conditions (1) through (4) apply, only the noncustodial parent
can claim the child for purposes of the dependency exemption (line

rule does not apply to head of household filing status, the credit for
child and dependent care expenses, the exclusion for dependent
care benefits, or the earned income credit. See Pub. 501 for details.
Post-1984 decree or agreement. The decree or agreement must
state all three of the following.
1. The noncustodial parent can claim the child as a dependent
without regard to any condition, such as payment of support.
2. The other parent will not claim the child as a dependent.
3. The years for which the claim is released.
The noncustodial parent must attach all of the following pages
from the decree or agreement.
• Cover page (include the other parent’s SSN on that page).
• The pages that include all the information identified in (1)
through (3) above.
• 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

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 2007 if the person was born or died in 2007
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 beginning on page 22 or Kidnapped
child below.
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.
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 21 (for a qualifying child) or Step 4, question 4,
on page 22 (for a qualifying relative). If the person does not meet
this exception, go to Step 3 on page 21 (for a qualifying child) or
Form 1040A, line 7 (for a qualifying relative).
Multiple support agreements. If no one person contributed over
half of the support of your relative (including a person who lived
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
2007, cannot engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a

physical or mental condition and a doctor has determined that this
condition has lasted or can be expected to last continuously for at
least a year, or 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,
unless the special rule for Children of divorced or separated parents
beginning on page 22 applies.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Dependency exemption (line 6c).
Child tax credits (lines 33 and 41).
Head of household filing status (line 4).
Credit for child and dependent care expenses (line 29).
Exclusion for dependent care benefits (Schedule 2, Part III).
Earned income credit (lines 40a and 40b).

No other person can take any of the six 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 2007. 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 2007.
• 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 2007.
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 six tax benefits listed above for which you
otherwise qualify. Your mother would not be entitled to take any of
the six tax benefits listed above unless she has a different qualifying
child.

If you will be claiming the child as a qualifying child, go to Step
2 on page 21. Otherwise, stop; you cannot claim any benefits based
on this child. Go to Form 1040A, line 7.
Social security number. You must enter each dependent’s social
security number (SSN). Be sure the name and SSN entered agree
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 18. If your dependent will not
have a number by the date your return is due, see What If You
Cannot File on Time? on page 12.

If your dependent child was born and died in 2007 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 student is a child who during any part of 5 calendar
months of 2007 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 school offering courses only through the Internet.

Form 1040A — Lines 7 Through 8a
Wages received as a household employee. Wages received as a
household employee for which you did not receive a Form W-2
because your employer paid you less than $1,500 in 2007 must be
included in the total on line 7. Also, enter “HSH” and the amount
not reported on a Form W-2 in the space to the left of line 7.

Income
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 amounts.
To round, drop amounts under 50 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.
Example. You received two Forms W-2, one showing wages of
$5,009.55 and one showing wages of $8,760.73. On Form 1040A,
line 7, you would enter $13,770 ($5,009.55 + $8,760.73 =
$13,770.28).

Refunds of State or Local Income Taxes
If you received a refund, credit, or offset of state or local income
taxes in 2007, you may receive a Form 1099-G.
For the year the tax was paid to the state or other taxing authority, did you itemize deductions?

No.
Yes.

None of your refund is taxable.
You may have to report part or all of the refund as
income on Form 1040 for 2007. Use TeleTax topic
405 (see page 8) or see Pub. 525 for details.

Community Property States
Community property states are Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. If
you and your spouse lived in a community property state and you
are filing separate returns, you must usually follow state law to
determine what is community income and what is separate income.
For details, see Pub. 555.
California domestic partners. A registered domestic partner in

California must report all wages, salaries, and other compensation
received for his or her personal services on his or her own return.
Therefore, a registered domestic partner cannot report half the
combined income earned by the individual and his or her domestic
partner as a married person filing separately does in California.

Foreign Retirement Plans
If you were a beneficiary of a foreign retirement plan, you may have
to report the undistributed income earned in your plan. However, if
you were the beneficiary of a Canadian registered retirement plan,
see Form 8891 to find out if you can elect to defer tax on the
undistributed income. If you elect to defer tax, you must use Form
1040.

Tip income. Tip income you did not report to your employer must
be included in the total on line 7. But you must use Form 1040 and
Form 4137 if you received tips of $20 or more in any month and did
not report the full amount to your employer, or your Form(s) W-2
shows allocated tips that you must report as income. You must
report the allocated tips shown on your Form(s) W-2 unless you can
prove that you received less. Allocated tips should be shown in box
8 of your Form(s) W-2. They are not included as income in box 1.
See Pub. 531 for more details.
Dependent care benefits. Dependent care benefits, which should
be shown in box 10 of your Form(s) W-2, must be included in the
total on line 7. But first complete Schedule 2 to see if you may
exclude part or all of the benefits.
Scholarship and fellowship grants. Scholarship and fellowship
grants not reported on Form W-2 must be included in the total on
line 7. Also, enter “SCH” and the amount in the space to the left of
line 7. However, if you were a degree candidate, include on line 7
only the amounts you used for expenses other than tuition and
course-related expenses. For example, amounts used for room,
board, and travel must be reported on line 7.
Disability pensions. Disability pensions shown on Form 1099-R if
you have not reached the minimum retirement age set by your
employer must be included in the total on line 7. Disability pensions
received after you reach that age and other payments shown on
Form 1099-R (other than payments from an IRA*) are reported on
lines 12a and 12b of Form 1040A. Payments from an IRA are
reported on lines 11a and 11b.
* This includes a Roth, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA.
Missing or incorrect Form W-2? Your employer is required to
provide or send Form W-2 to you no later than January 31, 2008. 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 1, Part I, if the total is over $1,500 or any of
the other conditions listed at the beginning of the Schedule 1 instructions apply to you.

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.
You must fill in and attach Schedule 1, Part II, if the total is over
$1,500 or you received, as a nominee, ordinary dividends that
actually belong to someone else.

2008) of the 121-day period. The 121-day period began on October
6, 2007 (60 days before the ex-dividend date) and ended on February 3, 2008. 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 December 4, 2007 (the day before the
ex-dividend date), and you sold the stock on February 5, 2008. You
held the stock for 63 days (from December 5, 2007, through February 5, 2008). The $500 of qualified dividends shown in box 1b of
your Form 1099-DIV are all qualified dividends because you held
the stock for 61 days of the 121-day period (from October 6, 2007,
through February 3, 2008).
Example 3. You bought 10,000 shares of ABC Mutual Fund
common stock on November 30, 2007. ABC Mutual Fund paid a
cash dividend of 10 cents a share. The ex-dividend date was December 5, 2007. The 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 January 3, 2008.
You have no qualified dividends from ABC Mutual Fund because
you held the ABC Mutual Fund stock for less than 61 days.

Line 9b

TIP

Qualified Dividends
Enter your total qualified dividends on line 9b. 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 1.
• 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 November 30, 2007. XYZ Corp. paid a cash dividend of 10
cents per share. The ex-dividend date was December 5, 2007. 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 January 3, 2008. You held your shares of XYZ
Corp. for only 34 days (from December 1, 2007, through January 3,

Be sure you use the Qualified Dividends and Capital
Gain Tax Worksheet on page 36 to figure your tax. Your
tax may be less if you use this worksheet.

Line 10
Capital Gain Distributions
Each payer should send you a Form 1099-DIV. Do any of the
Forms 1099-DIV or substitute statements you, or your spouse if
filing a joint return, received have an amount in box 2b (unrecaptured section 1250 gain), box 2c (section 1202 gain), or box 2d
(collectibles (28%) gain)?
Yes.
No.

You must use Form 1040.
You may use Form 1040A. Enter your capital gain
distributions on line 10. Also, be sure you use the
Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet on
page 36 to figure your tax. Your tax may be less if you
use this worksheet.

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 10 only the amount that belongs to you. Attach a statement
showing the full amount you received and the amount you received
as a nominee. See the Schedule 1 instructions for filing requirements for Forms 1099-DIV and 1096.

Lines 11a and 11b
IRA Distributions
You should receive a Form 1099-R showing the amount of any
distribution from your IRA. Unless otherwise noted in the line 11a
and 11b instructions, an IRA includes a traditional IRA, Roth IRA,
simplified employee pension (SEP) IRA, and a savings incentive
match plan for employees (SIMPLE) IRA. Except as provided
below, leave line 11a blank and enter the total distribution on
line 11b.
Exception 1. Enter the total distribution on line 11a if you rolled
over part or all of the distribution from one:
• IRA to another IRA of the same type (for example, from one
traditional IRA to another traditional IRA), or
• SEP or SIMPLE IRA to a traditional IRA.

was rolled over in a qualified rollover, enter -0- on line 11b. If the
total distribution was not rolled over in a qualified rollover, enter
the part not rolled over on line 11b unless Exception 2 below
applies to the part not rolled over. Generally, a qualified rollover
must be made within 60 days after the day you received the distribution. For more details on rollovers, see Pub. 590.
If you rolled over the distribution into a qualified plan other than
an IRA or you made the rollover in 2008, attach a statement explaining what you did.

You may have to pay an additional tax if (a) you received an early distribution from your IRA and the total
was not rolled over, or (b) you were born before July 1,

tion on line 11a and see Form 8606 and its instructions to figure the
amount to enter on line 11b.
1. You received a distribution from an IRA (other than a Roth
IRA) and you made nondeductible contributions to any of your
traditional or SEP IRAs for 2007 or an earlier year. If you made
nondeductible contributions to these IRAs for 2007, also see
Pub. 590.
2. You received a distribution from a Roth IRA. But if either (a)
or (b) below applies, enter -0- on line 11b; you do not have to see
Form 8606 or its instructions.
a. Distribution code T is shown in box 7 of Form 1099-R, and
you made a contribution (including a conversion) to a Roth IRA for
2002 or an earlier year.
b. Distribution code Q is shown in box 7 of Form 1099-R.
3. You converted part or all of a traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE
IRA to a Roth IRA in 2007.
4. You had a 2006 or 2007 IRA contribution returned to you,
with the related earnings or less any loss, by the due date (including
extensions) of your tax return for that year.
5. You made excess contributions to your IRA for an earlier year
and had them returned to you in 2007.
6. You recharacterized part or all of a contribution to a Roth IRA
as a traditional IRA contribution, or vice versa.
Exception 3. If the distribution is a qualified charitable distribution

(QCD), enter the total distribution on line 11a. If the total amount
distributed is a QCD, enter -0- on line 11b. If only part of the
distribution is a QCD, enter the part that is not a QCD on line 11b
unless Exception 2 applies to that part. Enter “QCD” next to line
11b.
A QCD is a distribution made directly by the trustee of your IRA
(other than a SEP or SIMPLE IRA) to an organization eligible to
receive tax-deductible contributions (with certain exceptions). You
must have been at least age 701⁄2 when the distribution was made.
Your total QCDs for the year cannot be more than $100,000. (On a
joint return, your spouse can also have a QCD of up to $100,000.)
The amount of the QCD is limited to the amount that would otherwise be included in your income. If your IRA includes nondeductible contributions, the distribution is first considered to be paid out
of otherwise taxable income. See Pub. 590 for details.

!

Lines 12a and 12b
You should receive a Form 1099-R showing the amount of your
pension and annuity payments, including distributions from 401(k)
and 403(b) plans. See page 28 for details on rollovers and lump-sum
distributions.
Do not report on lines 12a and 12b disability pensions received
before you reach the minimum retirement age set by your employer.
Instead, report them on line 7.

TIP

Attach Form(s) 1099-R to Form 1040A if any federal
income tax was withheld.

Fully taxable pensions and annuities. If your pension or annuity is

fully taxable, enter it on line 12b; do not make an entry on line 12a.
Your payments are fully taxable if (a) you did not contribute to the
cost (see page 28) of your pension or annuity, or (b) you got back
your entire cost tax free before 2007.
Fully taxable pensions and annuities also include military retirement pay shown on Form 1099-R. For details on military disability
pensions, see Pub. 525. If you received a Form RRB-1099-R, see
Pub. 575 to find out how to report your benefits.
Partially taxable pensions and annuities. Enter the total pension or
annuity payments you received in 2007 on line 12a. If your Form
1099-R does not show the taxable amount, you must use the General Rule explained in Pub. 939 to figure the taxable part to enter on
line 12b. But if your annuity starting date (defined below) was after
July 1, 1986, see below to find out if you must use the Simplified
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 line 12b. But you may be able to report a lower
taxable amount by using the General Rule or the Simplified
Method.
Annuity starting date. Your annuity starting date is the later of the
first day of the first period for which you received a payment or the
date the plan’s obligations became fixed.
Simplified Method. You must use the Simplified Method if either
of the following applies.

You cannot claim a charitable contribution deduction
for any QCD not included in your income.

1. Your annuity starting date (defined above) was after July 1,
1986, and you used this method last year to figure the taxable part.
2. Your annuity starting date was after November 18, 1996, and
both of the following apply.

Exception 4. If the distribution is a qualified health savings account

(HSA) funding distribution (HFD), you must file Form 1040. See
Exception 4 in the instructions for Form 1040, lines 15a and 15b.
An HFD is a one-time distribution made directly by the trustee of
your IRA (other than a SEP or SIMPLE IRA) to your HSA. See
Pub. 590 for details.

a. The payments are from a qualified employee plan, a qualified
employee annuity, or a tax-sheltered annuity.
b. On your annuity starting date, either you were under age 75 or
the number of years of guaranteed payments was fewer than 5. See
Pub. 575 for the definition of guaranteed payments.

Note. If you (or your spouse if filing jointly) received more than
one distribution, figure the taxable amount of each distribution and
enter the total of the taxable amounts on line 11b. Enter the total
amount of those distributions on line 11a.

If you must use the Simplified Method, complete the worksheet
below to figure the taxable part of your pension or annuity. For
more details on the Simplified Method, see Pub. 575 or Pub. 721 for

Form 1040A — Lines 12a Through 17
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 12a and 12b 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 12a 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 12a, 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 12b. Also, enter “Rollover”
next to line 12b.
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 must use
Form 1040 if you owe additional tax because you received an early
distribution from a qualified retirement plan and the total amount
was not rolled over in a qualified rollover. See Pub. 575 to find out
if you owe this tax.
Enter the total distribution on line 12a and the taxable part on
line 12b.

• You made contributions to a traditional IRA for 2007 and you
or your spouse were covered by a retirement plan at work. 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 2007 and your total repayments
(box 4) were more than your total benefits for 2007 (box 3). None of
your benefits are taxable for 2007. 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. But you must use Form 1040 to do so. See Pub. 915.
• You file Form 8815. Instead, use the worksheet in Pub. 915.

Adjusted Gross Income
Line 16
Educator Expenses
If you were an eligible educator in 2007, you can deduct up to $250
of qualified expenses you paid in 2007. If you and your spouse are
filing jointly and both of you were eligible educators, the maximum
deduction is $500. However, neither spouse can deduct more than
$250 of his or her qualified expenses. An eligible educator is a
kindergarten through grade 12 teacher, instructor, counselor, principal, or aide who worked in a school for at least 900 hours during a
school year.

You may be able to pay less tax on the distribution if
you were born before January 2, 1936, or you are the
TIP
beneficiary of a deceased employee who was born
before January 2, 1936. But you must use Form 1040 to
do so. For details, see Form 4972.

Qualified expenses include ordinary and necessary expenses
paid in connection with books, supplies, equipment (including computer equipment, software, and services), and other materials used
in the classroom. An ordinary expense is one that is common and
accepted in your educational field. A necessary expense is one that
is helpful and appropriate for your profession as an educator. An
expense does not have to be required to be considered necessary.

Line 13

Qualified expenses do not include expenses for home schooling
or for nonathletic supplies for courses in health or physical education.

Unemployment Compensation and Alaska
Permanent Fund Dividends
Unemployment compensation. You should receive a Form 1099-G
showing the total unemployment compensation paid to you in 2007.
If you made contributions to a governmental unemployment compensation program, see Pub. 525 to determine the amount to report.
If you received an overpayment of unemployment compensation
in 2007 and you repaid any of it in 2007, subtract the amount you
repaid from the total amount you received. Include the result in the
total on line 13. Also, enter “Repaid” and the amount you repaid in
the space to the left of line 13. If you repaid unemployment compensation in 2007 that you included in gross income in an earlier
year, you can deduct the amount repaid. But you must use Form
1040 to do so. See Pub. 525 for details.
Alaska Permanent Fund dividends. Include the dividends in the

total on line 13.

You must reduce your qualified expenses by the following
amounts.
• Excludable U.S. series EE and I savings bond interest from
Form 8815.
• Nontaxable qualified tuition program earnings or distributions.
• Nontaxable distributions of Coverdell education savings account earnings.
• Any reimbursements you received for these expenses that
were not reported to you in box 1 of your Form W-2.

2007, you must report them on Form 8606.

Lines 14a and 14b
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 2007. If you received railroad retirement
benefits treated as social security, you should receive a Form
RRB-1099.
Use the worksheet on page 29 to see if any of your benefits are

Exception. Do not use the worksheet on page 29 if any of the

following apply.

If you made contributions to a traditional IRA for 2007, 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. If you were a
member of the U.S. Armed Forces, earned income includes any
nontaxable combat pay you received. A statement should be sent to
you by May 31, 2008, that shows all contributions to your traditional IRA for 2007.

• If you were age 701⁄2 or older at the end of 2007, you cannot
deduct any contributions made to your traditional IRA for 2007 or
treat them as nondeductible contributions.
• 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 32 on page 37.
If you made contributions to both a traditional IRA and
a Roth IRA for 2007, do not use the worksheet on page
30. Instead, see Pub. 590 to figure the amount, if any, of
CAUTION
your IRA deduction.
• 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 32 on page 37.
• If you made contributions to your IRA in 2007 that you deducted for 2006, do not include them in the worksheet.
• If you received a distribution from a nonqualified deferred
compensation plan or nongovernmental section 457 plan that is
included in box 1 of your Form W-2, do not include that distribution
on line 8 of the worksheet. The distribution should be shown in box
11 of your Form W-2. If it is not, contact your employer for the
amount of the distribution.
• 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 17.
• Do not include qualified rollover contributions in figuring
your deduction. Instead, see the instructions for lines 11a and 11b
that begin on page 25.
• Do not include trustees’ fees that were billed separately and
paid by you for your IRA. You may be able to deduct those fees as
an itemized deduction. But you must use Form 1040 to do so.
• If the total of your IRA deduction on line 17 plus any nondeductible contribution to your traditional IRAs shown on Form 8606
is less than your total traditional IRA contributions for 2007, see
Pub. 590 for special rules.

chapter 11 bankruptcy in an earlier year. See Pub. 590 for details. If
this applies use the worksheet in Pub. 590.
By April 1 of the year after the year in which you reach
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.
You must use Form 1040 if you owe tax on any excess contributions made to an IRA or any excess accumulations in an IRA. For
details, see Pub. 590.
Were you covered by a retirement plan? If you were covered by a
retirement plan (401(k), SIMPLE, etc.) at work, 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.
If you were covered by a retirement plan and you file Form
8815, 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 2007.

Student Loan Interest Deduction
You can take this deduction only if all of the following apply.
• You paid interest in 2007 on a qualified student loan (see
below).
• Your filing status is any status except married filing separately. However, you cannot take this deduction if your filing status
is head of household and you entered “NRA spouse” on line 4
because your spouse was a nonresident alien.
• Your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) is less than:
$70,000 if single, head of household, or qualifying widow(er);
$140,000 if married filing jointly. Use lines 2 through 4 of the
worksheet below to figure your modified AGI.
• You, or your spouse if filing jointly, are not claimed as a
dependent on someone’s (such as your parent’s) 2007 tax return.

expenses generally include tuition, fees, room and board, and related expenses such as books and supplies. The expenses must be
for education in a degree, certificate, or similar program at an
eligible educational institution. An eligible educational institution
includes most colleges, universities, and certain vocational schools.
You must reduce the expenses by the following benefits.
• Employer-provided educational assistance benefits that are
not included in box 1 of Form(s) W-2.
• Excludable U.S. series EE and I savings bond interest from
Form 8815.
• Nontaxable distributions of qualified tuition program earnings.
• Nontaxable distributions of Coverdell education savings account earnings.
• Any scholarship, educational assistance allowance, or other
payment (but not gifts, inheritances, etc.) excluded from income.

Use the worksheet below to figure your student loan interest
deduction.
Qualified student loan. A qualified student loan is any loan you
took out to pay the qualified higher education expenses for:
1. Yourself or your spouse.
2. Any person who was your dependent when the loan was taken
out.
3. Any person you could have claimed as a dependent for the
year the loan was taken out except that:
a. The person filed a joint return,
b. The person had gross income that was equal to or more than
the exemption amount for that year ($3,400 for 2007), or
c. You, or your spouse if filing jointly, could be claimed as a
dependent on someone else’s return.

The person for whom the expenses were paid must have been an
eligible student (defined below). However, a loan is not a qualified
student loan if (a) any of the proceeds were used for other purposes,
or (b) the loan was from either a related person or a person who
borrowed the proceeds under a qualified employer plan or a contract purchased under such a plan. To find out who is a related
person, see Pub. 970.

For more details on these expenses, see Pub. 970.
Eligible student. An eligible student is a person who:

• Was enrolled in a degree, certificate, or other program (including a program of study abroad that was approved for credit by the
institution at which the student was enrolled) leading to a recognized educational credential at an eligible educational institution,
and
• Carried at least half the normal full-time workload for the
course of study he or she was pursuing.

Line 19
Tuition and Fees Deduction
If you paid qualified tuition and fees for yourself, your spouse, or
your dependent(s), you may be able to take this deduction. See
Form 8917.

You may be able to take a credit for your educational
expenses instead of a deduction. See the instructions for
line 31 on page 36 for details.

Tax, Credits, and Payments

Tax

Line 23a

Do you want the IRS to figure your tax for you?

If you were born before January 2, 1943, or were blind at the end of
2007, check the appropriate boxes on line 23a. If you were married
and checked the box on Form 1040A, line 6b, and your spouse was
born before January 2, 1943, or was blind at the end of 2007, also
check the appropriate boxes for your spouse. Be sure to enter the
total number of boxes checked in the box provided on line 23a.
Blindness. If you were partially blind as of December 31, 2007,

you must get a statement certified by your eye doctor or registered
optometrist that:
• You cannot see better than 20/200 in your better eye with
glasses or contact lenses, or
• Your field of vision is 20 degrees or less.
If your eye condition is not likely to improve beyond the conditions listed above, you can get a statement certified by your eye
doctor or registered optometrist to this effect instead.
You must keep the statement for your records.

Yes. See Pub. 967 for details, including who is eligible
and what to do. If you have paid too much, we will send you
a refund. If you did not pay enough, we will send you a bill.
No. Use the Tax Table on pages 62 –73 to figure your tax
unless you are required to use Form 8615 (see below) or the
Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet (see
page 36). Also include in the total on line 28 any of the
following taxes.
Tax from recapture of education credits. You may owe this tax if

(a) you claimed an education credit in an earlier year, and (b) either
tax-free educational assistance or a refund of qualified expenses
was received in 2007 for the student. See Form 8863 for more
details. If you owe this tax, enter the amount and “ECR” to the left
of the entry space for line 28.
Alternative minimum tax. If both 1 and 2 next apply to you, use the

worksheet on page 35 to see if you owe this tax and, if you do, the
amount to include on line 28.

Line 23b
If you are married filing a separate return and your spouse itemizes
deductions on Form 1040, check the box on line 23b. You cannot
take the standard deduction even if you were born before January 2,
1943, or were blind (that is, you completed line 23a). Enter -0- on
line 24 and go to line 25.

TIP

In most cases, your federal income tax will be less if you
take any itemized deductions that you may have, such as
state and local income taxes, but you must use Form
1040 to do so.

1. The amount on Form 1040A, line 26, is: $10,200 or more if
single; $0 or more if married filing jointly or qualifying widow(er);
$3,400 or more if head of household; $0 or more if married filing
separately.
2. The amount on Form 1040A, line 22, is more than: $33,750 if
single or head of household; $45,000 if married filing jointly or
qualifying widow(er); $22,500 if married filing separately.

If filing for a child who was under age 18 at the end of
2007, and the amount on Form 1040A, line 22, is more
than the total of $6,300 plus the amount on Form
CAUTION
1040A, line 7, do not file this form. Instead, file Form
1040 for the child. Use Form 6251 to see if the child owes this tax.

!

Line 24
Standard Deduction
Most people can find their standard deduction by looking at the
amounts listed under “All others” to the left of Form 1040A, line
24. But if you, or your spouse if filing jointly, can be claimed as a
dependent on someone’s 2007 return or you checked any box on
line 23a, use the chart or worksheet on page 33 that applies to you to
figure your standard deduction. Also, if you checked the box on line
23b, you cannot take the standard deduction even if you were born
before January 2, 1943, or were blind.
Nonresident alien spouse. If your filing status is head of household
and you entered “NRA spouse” on line 4 because your spouse was a
nonresident alien at any time during the year, see Pub. 501 for your
standard deduction.

Need more information or forms? See page 7.

Form 8615
Form 8615 must generally be used to figure the tax if this return is
for a child who was under age 18 at the end of 2007, and who had
more than $1,700 of investment income, such as taxable interest,
ordinary dividends, or capital gain distributions. But if neither of
the child’s parents was alive at the end of 2007, do not use Form
8615 to figure the child’s tax.
A child born on January 1, 1990, is considered to be age 18 at the
end of 2007. Do not use Form 8615 for such a child.

Retirement Savings Contributions Credit

2007 Estimated Tax Payments

You may be able to take this credit if you, or your spouse if filing
jointly, made (a) contributions to a traditional or Roth IRA; (b)
elective deferrals to a 401(k) or 403(b) plan (including designated
Roth contributions), or to a governmental 457, SEP, or SIMPLE
plan; (c) voluntary employee contributions to a qualified retirement
plan (including the federal Thrift Savings Plan); or (d) contributions
to a 501(c)(18)(D) plan.
However, you cannot take the credit if either of the following
applies.

Enter any estimated federal income tax payments you made for
2007. Include any overpayment from your 2006 return that you
applied to your 2007 estimated tax.
If you and your spouse paid joint estimated tax but are now filing
separate income tax returns, you can divide the amount paid in any
way you choose as long as you both agree. If you cannot agree, you
must divide the payments in proportion to each spouse’s individual
tax as shown on your separate returns for 2007. For an example of
how to do this, see Pub. 505. Be sure to show both social security
numbers (SSNs) in the space provided on the separate returns. If
you or your spouse paid separate estimated tax but you are now
filing a joint return, add the amounts you each paid. Follow these
instructions even if your spouse died in 2007 or in 2008 before
filing a 2007 return. Also, see Pub. 505 if either of the following
apply.
• You got divorced in 2007 and you made joint estimated tax
payments with your former spouse.
• You changed your name and you made estimated tax payments using your former name.

1. The amount on Form 1040A, line 22, is more than $26,000
($39,000 if head of household; $52,000 if married filing jointly).
2. The person(s) who made the qualified contribution or elective
deferral (a) was born after January 1, 1990, (b) is claimed as a
dependent on someone else’s 2007 tax return, or (c) was a student
(defined below).
You were a student if during any part of 5 calendar months of
2007 you:
• Were 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 school offering courses only through the Internet.
For more details, use TeleTax topic 610 (see page 8) or see
Form 8880.

No. Go to the worksheet
on page 44.

Definitions and Special Rules
(listed in alphabetical order)
Adopted child. An adopted child is always treated as your own

child. An adopted child includes a child lawfully placed with you
for legal adoption.
Combat pay, nontaxable. If you were a member of the U.S. Armed

+

Forces who served in a combat zone, certain pay is excluded from
your income. See Combat Zone Exclusion in Pub. 3. You can elect
to include this pay in your earned income when figuring the EIC.
The amount of your nontaxable combat pay should be shown in box
12 of Form(s) W-2 with code Q. If you are filing a joint return and
both you and your spouse received nontaxable combat pay, you can
each make your own election.
Credit figured by the IRS. To have the IRS figure the credit for

you:
1. Enter “EIC” to the left of the entry space for Form 1040A,
line 40a.
2. Be sure you enter the nontaxable combat pay you elect to
include in earned income on Form 1040A, line 40b. See
Combat pay, nontaxable above.
3. If you have a qualifying child, complete and attach Schedule
EIC. If your EIC for a year after 1996 was reduced or disallowed, see Form 8862, who must file on page 43.

!

Electing to include nontaxable
combat pay may increase or decrease
your EIC. Figure the credit with and
without your nontaxable combat pay
before making the election.

5. Exclusion for dependent care benefits (Schedule 2, Part III).

Form 8862, who must file. You must file Form 8862 if your EIC for

a year after 1996 was reduced or disallowed for any reason other
than a math or clerical error. But do not file Form 8862 if either of
the following applies.
• You filed Form 8862 for another year, the EIC was allowed for
that year, and your EIC has not been reduced or disallowed
again for any reason other than a math or clerical error.
• You are taking the EIC without a qualifying child and the only
reason your EIC was reduced or disallowed in the other year
was because it was determined that a child listed on Schedule
EIC was not your qualifying child.
Also, do not file Form 8862 or take the credit for the:
• 2 years after the most recent tax year for which there was a
final determination that your EIC was reduced or disallowed
due to reckless or intentional disregard of the EIC rules, or
• 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.
Married child. A child who was married at the end of 2007 is a

qualifying child only if (a) you can claim him or her as your
dependent on Form 1040A, line 6c, or (b) you could have claimed
him or her as your dependent except for the special rule under
Children of divorced or separated parents beginning on page 22.
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 serve fewer
than 90 days.
Nonresident aliens. If your filing status is married filing jointly, go

to Step 2 on page 40. Otherwise, stop; you cannot take the EIC.
Permanently and totally disabled. A person is permanently and

totally disabled if, at any time in 2007, 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 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 special rule for Children of divorced or separated parents
beginning on page 22 applies.
1. Dependency exemption (line 6c).
2. Child tax credits (lines 32 and 41).
3. Head of household filing status (line 4).

No other person can take any of the six 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 during 2007. 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 2007.
• 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 2007.
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 six tax benefits listed above for which you
otherwise qualify. Your mother would not be entitled to take any of
the six tax benefits listed above unless she has a different qualifying
child.
If you will not be taking the EIC with a qualifying child, enter
“No” to the left of the entry space for line 40a. Otherwise, go to
Step 3, question 1, on page 41.
Social security number (SSN). For the EIC, a valid SSN is a num-

ber 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 18. If you will not have
an SSN by the date your return is due, see What If You Cannot File
on Time? on page 12.
Student. A student is a child who during any part of 5 calendar
months of 2007 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 school offering courses only through the Internet.
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.

Form 1040A — Lines 41 Through 44

Line 41

Refund

Additional Child Tax Credit

Line 43

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 21. 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 Form
1040A, line 32, that begin on page 37.
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.

Amount Overpaid
If line 43 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 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.

TIP

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 2008 on

page 56.

Line 42
Include in the total on line 42 any amount paid with an extension of
time to file. If you filed Form 4868 include 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 42 the convenience
fee you were charged. To the left of the entry space for line 42, enter
“Form 4868” and show the amount paid.
Excess social security and tier 1 railroad retirement (RRTA) tax
withheld. If you, or your spouse if filing a joint return, had more

than one employer for 2007 and total wages of more than $97,500,
too much social security or tier 1 RRTA tax may have been withheld. For more details, including how to figure the amount to
include on line 42, see Pub. 505. Include the excess in the total on
line 42. Write “Excess SST” and show the excess amount to the left
of the line.

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 43 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 a question about it, contact the agency
to which you owe the debt.
Injured spouse claim. 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 43 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.

different from the routing number on your check.

!

If you file a joint return and check the box on line 44a and attach
Form 8888 or fill in lines 44b through 44d, your spouse may get at
least a part of the refund.
If the direct deposit to your account(s) is different from the
amount you expected, you will receive an explanation in the mail
about 2 weeks after your refund is deposited.
Line 44a. You cannot file Form 8888 and split your refund among
two or three accounts if Form 8379 is filed with your return.
Line 44b. 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 on this page, the routing number is 250250025. Rufus and
Mary Maple would use that routing number unless their financial
institution instructed them to use a different routing number for
direct deposits.

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

Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA)
You can have your refund directly deposited to a traditional IRA,
Roth IRA, or SEP-IRA, but not a SIMPLE IRA. You must establish
the IRA at a bank or other financial institution before you request
direct deposit. Make sure your direct deposit will be accepted. You
must also notify the trustee of your account of the year to which the
deposit is to be applied. If you do not, the trustee can assume the
deposit is for the year during which you are filing the return. For
example, if you file your 2007 return during 2008 and do not notify
the trustee in advance, the trustee can assume the deposit to your
IRA is for 2008. If you designate your deposit to be for 2007, you
must verify that the deposit was actually made to the account by the
due date of the return (without regard to extensions). If the deposit
is not made to your account by the due date of the return (without
regard to extensions), the deposit is not an IRA contribution for
2007. You must file an amended 2007 return and reduce any IRA
deduction and any retirement savings contributions credit you
claimed.

You and your spouse, if filing jointly, each may be able
to contribute up to $4,000 ($5,000 if age 50 or older at
the end of 2007) to a traditional IRA or Roth IRA for
CAUTION
2007. The limit for 2008 is $5,000 ($6,000 if age 50 or
older at the end of 2008). You may owe a penalty if your contributions exceed these limits.

check more than one box. If the deposit is to an IRA, ask your

• You get your refund faster by direct deposit than you do by
check.
• Payment is more secure. There is no check that can get lost or
stolen.
• It is more convenient. You do not have to make a trip to the
bank to deposit your check.
• It saves tax dollars. It costs the government less to refund by

If you want us to directly deposit the amount shown on line 44a to
your checking or savings account, including an IRA, at a bank or
other financial institution (such as a mutual fund, brokerage firm, or

Amount You Owe

TIP

IRS e-file offers you the electronic payment option of electronic funds withdrawal (EFW). EFW can be used to pay
your current year balance due and can be used to make up to four
estimated tax payments. If you are filing early, you can schedule
your payment for withdrawal from your account on a future date up
to and including April 15, 2008. If you file your return after April
15, 2008, you can now include interest and penalty in your payment. Visit www.irs.gov and enter “e-pay” in the Search box for
details.
You can also pay using EFTPS, a free tax payment system that
allows you to make payments online or by phone. For more information or details on enrolling, visit www.eftps.gov or call Customer Service at 1-800-316-6541. TTY/TDD help is available by
calling 1-800-733-4829.

Line 46
Amount You Owe
To save interest and penalties, pay your taxes in full by
April 15, 2008. You do not have to pay if line 46 is
TIP
under $1.
Include any estimated tax penalty from line 47 in the amount
you enter on line 46.
You can pay by check, money order, or credit card. Do not
include any estimated tax payment for 2008 in your check, money
order, or amount you charge. Instead, make the estimated tax payment separately.
To pay by check or money order. Enclose in the envelope with
your return a check or money order payable to the “United States
Treasury” for the full amount due. Do not send cash. Do not attach
the payment to your return. Write “2007 Form 1040A” and your
name, address, daytime phone number, and social security number
(SSN) on your payment. If you are filing a joint return, enter the
SSN shown first on your tax return.
To help process your payment, enter the amount on the right side
of the check like this: $XXX.XX. Do not use dashes or lines (for
XX
example, do not enter “$XXX — ” or “$XXX 100”).
To pay by credit card. You can use your American Express®

Card, Discover® Card, MasterCard® card, or Visa® card. To pay
by credit card, call toll-free or visit the website of either service
provider listed below and follow the instructions. A convenience
fee will be charged by the service provider based on the amount you
are paying. Fees may vary between the providers. You will be told
what the fee is during the transaction and you will have the option to
either continue or cancel the transaction. You can also find out what
the fee will be by calling the provider’s toll-free automated cus-

You may need to (a) increase the amount of income tax
withheld from your pay by filing a new Form W-4, or
(b) make estimated tax payments for 2008. See Income
tax withholding and estimated tax payments for 2008 on

page 56.

What If You Cannot Pay?
If you cannot pay the full amount shown on line 46 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,
even if your request to pay in installments is granted, you will be
charged interest and may be charged a late payment penalty on the
tax not paid by April 15, 2008. 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, you can apply online or use
Form 9465. To apply online, go to www.irs.gov, use the pull-down
menu under “I need to...” and select “Set Up a Payment Plan.” If
you 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 47
Estimated Tax Penalty
You may owe this penalty if:
• Line 46 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.
The “tax shown on your return” is the amount on line 37 minus
the total of any amounts shown on lines 40a and 41.
Exception. You will not owe the penalty if your 2006 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 2006 return and you were a
U.S. citizen or resident for all of 2006, or
2. The total of lines 38 and 39 on your 2007 return is at least
100% of the tax liability shown on your 2006 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 2007, more than $75,000). Your estimated tax
payments for 2007 must have been made on time and for the
required amount.
Figuring the penalty. If the Exception above does not apply and

you choose to figure the penalty yourself, see Form 2210 to find out
if you owe the penalty. If you do, you can use the form to figure the

amount. Enter the penalty on Form 1040A, line 47. Add the penalty
to any tax due and enter the total on line 46. If you are due a refund,
subtract the penalty from the overpayment you show on line 43. 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, if you want to, you
can leave line 47 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 lower 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.

Third Party Designee
If you want to allow a friend, family member, or any other person
you choose to discuss your 2007 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 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 2008 tax return.
This is April 15, 2009, for most people. If you wish to revoke the
authorization before it ends, see Pub. 947.

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. For more details, visit
www.irs.gov/efile and click on “e-file for Individual Taxpayers.”
To verify your identity, you will be prompted to enter your
adjusted gross income (AGI) from your originally filed 2006 federal income tax return, if applicable. Do not use your AGI from an
amended return (Form 1040X), math error notice, or an IRS examination report. AGI is the amount shown on your 2006 Form 1040,
line 38; Form 1040A, line 22; or Form 1040EZ, line 4. If you do not
have your 2006 income tax return, call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040
to get a free transcript of your return. (If you filed electronically last
year, you may use your prior year PIN to verify your identity
instead of your prior year AGI. The prior year PIN is the five digit
PIN you used to electronically sign your 2006 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.

!

CAUTION

Sign electronically and file a completely paperless return. If you
use a paid preparer, ask to sign your return electronically!
Forms 8453 and 8453-OL. Your return is not complete without
your signature. If you are not eligible or choose not to sign your
return electronically, you must complete, sign, and file Form 8453
or Form 8453-OL, whichever applies.

Attach Required Forms and
Schedules

Sign Your Return
Form 1040A 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 are filing a joint return as
a surviving spouse, see Death of a taxpayer on page 57.
Child’s return. If your child cannot sign the return, either parent

Attach Form(s) W-2 to the front of Form 1040A. If you received a
Form W-2c (a corrected Form W-2), attach a copy of your original
Form(s) W-2 and any Form(s) W-2c. Attach all other schedules and
forms behind Form 1040A in order by number. If you are filing
Schedule EIC, put it last. Do not attach items unless required to do
so.

can sign the child’s name in the space provided. Then, add “By

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. By answering our

Need more information or forms? See page 7.

You cannot sign your return electronically if you are a
first-time filer under age 16 at the end of 2007 or if you
are filing Form 8332.

If you received a 2007 Form 1099-R showing federal
income tax withheld, also attach the form to the front of
Form 1040A.

If you owe tax and are sending in your payment, do not attach it
to Form 1040A. Instead, place it loose inside the envelope.

Example. Mr. and Mrs. Green are filing a joint return.
Their taxable income on Form 1040A, line 27, is
$23,300. First, they find the $23,300 – 23,350 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 $2,716. This is the tax amount they
should enter on Form 1040A, line 28.

General Information
How to avoid common mistakes. Mistakes may delay your refund

or result in notices being sent to you.
• Be sure to enter your social security number (SSN) in the
space provided on page 1 of Form 1040A. 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 you entered the correct name and SSN for each
person you claim as a dependent 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 earned income credit
(EIC), child tax credit, taxable social security benefits, deduction
for exemptions, taxable income, federal income tax withheld, total
payments, and refund or amount you owe.
• If you think you can take the earned income credit, read the
instructions for lines 40a and 40b that begin on page 40 to make
sure you qualify. If you do, make sure you enter on Schedule EIC
the correct SSN for each person you claim as a qualifying child.
Also, 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 1040A and enter your
occupation(s).
• Be sure you use the correct method to figure your tax. See the
instructions for line 28 that begin on page 32. Also, enter your total
tax on line 37.
• Make sure you use the correct filing status. If you think you
can file as head of household, read the instructions for line 4 that
begin on page 19 to make sure you qualify.
• Make sure your name and address are correct on the peel-off
label. If not, enter the correct information.
• If you are married filing jointly and did not get a peel-off label,
enter your and your spouse’s name in the same order as shown on
your last return.
• Enter your standard deduction on line 24. Also, if you check
any box on line 23a or you (or your spouse if filing jointly) can be
claimed as a dependent on someone else’s 2007 return, see page 33
to find the amount to enter on line 24.
• Attach your Form(s) W-2 and any other required forms and
schedules.
• 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 46 on page 54 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.
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 divorced, 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 or you can call the
Innocent Spouse office toll-free at 1 – 866 – 897 – 4270.
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 as long as they are needed to figure the basis of the original
or replacement property. For more details, see Pub. 552.
Income tax withholding and estimated tax payments for 2008. 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 2008 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 2008
tax return will show a tax refund or a tax balance due of less than
$1,000. If your total estimated tax (including any alternative minimum tax) for 2008 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. See Pub. 505 for more details.
How do you amend your tax 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.
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 54 for details on how to pay
any tax you owe.

TIP

If you itemize your deductions for 2008, you may be
able to deduct this gift.

Do both the name and social security number (SSN) on your tax
forms agree with your social security card? If not, certain deduc-

tions 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 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 send it to Internal
Revenue Service, Fresno, CA 93888. Victims of identity theft who
are suffering economic harm, experiencing a systemic problem, or
seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved
through normal channels may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate
Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling toll-free
1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059. 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.”

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. Send a copy of the fraudulent email to phishing@irs.gov.
For more information on how to forward one of these emails, go to
www.irs.gov and enter keyword “phishing.” Once there, see the
article titled “How To Protect Yourself From Suspicious E-Mails or
Phishing Schemes.”
Need a copy of your tax return? If you do, 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

2007, 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 2007 and you did not remarry in 2007, or
if your spouse died in 2008 before filing a return for 2007, you can
file a joint return. A joint return should show your spouse’s 2007
income before death and your income for all of 2007. 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.
Past due returns. The integrity of our tax system and well-being of

our country depend, to a large degree, on the timely filing and
payment of taxes by each individual, family, and business in this
country. Those choosing not to file and pay their fair share increase
the burden on the rest of us to support our schools, maintain and
repair roadways, and the many other ways our tax dollars help to
make life easier for all citizens.
Some people don’t know they should file a tax return; some
don’t file because they expect a refund; and some don’t file because
they owe taxes. Encourage your family, neighbors, friends, and
coworkers to do their fair share by filing their federal tax returns
and paying any tax due on time.
If you or someone you know needs to file past due tax returns,
use TeleTax topic 153 (see page 71) or visit www.irs.gov and click
on “Individuals” for help in filing those returns.

Other Ways To Get Help
Send your written tax questions to the IRS. You should get an

answer in about 30 days. If you do not have the mailing address, call

us. See page 10 for the number. Do not send questions with your
return.
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 poses questions
you can answer by selecting “Yes” or “No.”
• Tax topics. This section provides a broad picture of tax topics
under 17 main categories. Each main category topic is followed by
specific topics related to that category that provide a discussion of
the specific topic.
Free help with your return. Free help in preparing your return is

available nationwide from IRS-sponsored volunteers. These volunteers are trained and certified to prepare federal income tax returns
by passing an IRS test. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance
(VITA) program is designed to help low-income taxpayers. The
Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) program is designed to assist
taxpayers age 60 or older with their tax return preparation. VITA/
TCE tax preparation sites must adhere to strict quality standards
necessary to prepare accurate returns. Free electronic filing is offered by IRS authorized e-file providers at many of the VITA/TCE
locations nationwide. Volunteers will help you with claiming the
credits and deductions you may be entitled to. If you are a member
of the military, you can also get assistance on military tax benefits,
such as combat zone benefits, at an office within your installation.

Interest and Penalties
What if you file or pay late? The IRS can charge you interest and
penalties on the amount you owe.
If you file late, 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 (15% per month up to
a maximum of 75% if the failure to file is fraudulent). We will
charge you interest on the penalty from the due date of the return
(including extensions). 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.

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.
Are there other penalties? Yes. Other penalties can be imposed for

negligence, substantial understatement of tax, reportable transaction understatements, filing an erroneous refund claim, and fraud.
We will charge you interest on these penalties from the due date of
the return (including extensions). Criminal penalties may be imposed for willful failure to file, tax evasion, or making a false
statement. See Pub. 17 for details.

In addition to any other penalties, the law imposes a penalty of
$5,000 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. For a list of positions identified as frivolous,
see Notice 2007-30, 2007-14 I.R.B. 883, available at www.irs.gov/

Help With Unresolved Tax Issues
Taxpayer Advocate Service

The Taxpayer Advocate Service is an independent
organization within the IRS whose employees assist
taxpayers who are experiencing economic harm, who are
seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been
resolved through normal channels, or who believe that an
IRS system or procedure is not working as it should. You
may be eligible for assistance if:
● You are experiencing economic harm or significant cost
(including fees for professional representation),
● You have experienced a delay of more than 30 days to
resolve your tax issue, or
● You have not received a response or resolution to the
problem by the date promised by the IRS.
The service is free, confidential, tailored to meet your
needs, and available for businesses as well as individuals.
There is at least one local taxpayer advocate in each state,
the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Because
advocates are part of the IRS, they know the tax system
and how to navigate it. If you qualify for assistance, you
will receive personalized service from a knowledgeable
advocate who will:
● Listen to your problem,
● Help you understand what needs to be done to resolve
it, and
● Stay with you every step of the way until your problem
is resolved.

You can contact the Taxpayer Advocate Service by:
● Calling their toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778
or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059,
● Writing or calling your local taxpayer advocate, whose
address and phone number are listed in the government
listings in your local telephone directory and in
Pub. 1546, The Taxpayer Advocate Service of the
IRS—How to Get Help With Unresolved Tax Problems,
● Filing Form 911, Application for Taxpayer Assistance
Order, with the Taxpayer Advocate Service, or
● Asking an IRS employee to complete Form 911 on your
behalf.
To get a copy of Form 911 or learn more about the
Taxpayer Advocate Service, go to www.irs.gov/advocate.

Low Income Tax Clinics (LITCs)
LITCs are independent organizations that provide low
income taxpayers with representation in federal tax
controversies with the IRS for free or for a nominal charge.
The clinics also provide tax education and outreach for
taxpayers with limited English proficiency or who speak
English as a second language. Pub. 4134, Low Income
Taxpayer Clinic List, provides information on clinics in
your area. It is available at www.irs.gov or your local IRS
office.

TIP

If you want to check the status of your 2007 refund, see Refund Information on
page 8.

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.
• 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.
• 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.

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.
However, 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 give the information asked 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 your 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 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 any questions about the
rules for filing and giving information, please call or visit any
Internal Revenue Service office.
We welcome comments on forms. If you have suggestions for making this form 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.) Enter “Forms Comment” on the subject line. Or you
can write to the 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 table below shows burden estimates by form type and type of
taxpayer. Time burden is further broken out by taxpayer activity.
The largest component of time burden for all taxpayers is recordkeeping, as opposed to form completion and submission. In addition, the time burden associated with form completion and
submission activities is closely tied to preparation method (self-prepared without software, self-prepared with software, and prepared
by paid preparer).
Time spent and out-of-pocket costs are estimated separately.
Out-of-pocket costs include any expenses incurred by taxpayers to
prepare and submit their tax returns. Examples of out-of-pocket
costs include tax return preparation and submission fees, postage,
tax preparation software costs, photocopying costs, and phone calls
(if not toll-free).
Both time and cost burdens are national averages and do not
necessarily reflect a “typical” case. For instance, the average time
burden for all taxpayers filing a 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ was 24.2
hours, with an average cost of $207 per return. This average includes all associated forms and schedules, across all preparation

methods and all taxpayer activities. Taxpayers filing Form 1040
had an average burden of about 30 hours, and taxpayers filing Form
1040A and Form 1040EZ averaged about 11 hours. However,
within each of these estimates, there is significant variation in
taxpayer activity. Similarly, tax preparation fees vary extensively
depending on the taxpayer’s tax situation and issues, the type of
professional preparer, and the geographic area.
The data shown are the best estimates available as of September
20, 2006, from tax returns filed for 2006. The method used to
estimate taxpayer burden incorporates results from a taxpayer burden survey conducted in 2000 and 2001. The estimates are subject
to change as new forms and data become available. The estimates
do not include burden associated with post-filing activities. However, operational IRS data indicate that electronically prepared and
e-filed returns have fewer errors, implying a lower overall post-filing burden.
If you have comments concerning the time and cost estimates
below, you can contact us at either one of the addresses shown
under We welcome comments on forms on page 58.

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 surplus or deficit. Next, individual spending
and revenue bills that are consistent with the goals of the budget
resolution are enacted.
In fiscal year 2006 (which began on October 1, 2005, and ended
on September 30, 2006), federal income was $2.407 trillion and
outlays were $2.655 trillion, leaving a deficit of $0.248 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.

Physical, human,
and community
development 3
12%

Net interest on
the debt
8%

National defense,
veterans, and foreign
affairs 2
23%

2. National defense, veterans, and foreign affairs. About 19%
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.
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 13% 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 $68 billion in fiscal year 2006. 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.
