A Message From
the Commissioner
Dear Taxpayer,
As we enter the 2012 tax filing season, the IRS is always looking to find new
and innovative ways to help you get your tax questions answered. The newest is
our smartphone application, IRS2Go, which can be downloaded for free. You
can do a number of things with this app, such as checking the status of your tax
refund or subscribing to tax tips.
We also continue to enhance our website, IRS.gov, which is the most
convenient way to get tax information. We also post videos on YouTube to help
taxpayers understand their tax obligations. Check these out at www.youtube.
com/irsvideos. Our news feed on Twitter, @IRSnews, is another excellent
source of tax information.
Keep in mind that a number of federal tax incentives that were enacted in
2009 as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act are still in effect
for 2011. These include the American opportunity credit and the expanded
earned income credit. Make sure to check to see if you qualify for these and
other important deductions and credits.
Remember that the fastest, safest and easiest way to get your refund is to
e-file and use direct deposit. E-file has become so popular that nearly eight out
of 10 individual taxpayers now e-file their return. It’s now the first choice for
about 112 million taxpayers.
Taxpayers below a certain income level can qualify to use free tax
preparation software through the Free File program. Plus, everyone can e-file
for free using a fillable form available at IRS.gov.
We know that it takes time to prepare and file a tax return, but the IRS wants
to help you fulfill your tax obligations and will continue to go the extra mile to
provide assistance.
Sincerely,
Douglas H. Shulman
The IRS Mission
Provide America’s taxpayers top quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax
responsibilities and by applying the tax law with integrity and fairness to all.

The Taxpayer Advocate Service Is Here To Help
Taxpayer Advocate Service
The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is your voice at the
IRS. Our job is to ensure that every taxpayer is treated fairly,
and that you know and understand your rights. We offer free
help to guide you through the often-confusing process of
resolving tax problems that you haven’t been able to solve on
your own. Remember, the worst thing you can do is nothing at
all!
TAS can help if you can’t resolve your problem with the IRS
and:
• Your problem is causing financial difficulties for you,
your family, or your business.
• You face (or your business is facing) an immediate threat
of adverse action.
• You’ve tried repeatedly to contact the IRS but no one has
responded to you, or the IRS hasn’t responded by the date
promised.
If you qualify for our help, we’ll do everything we can to get
your problem resolved. You’ll be assigned to one advocate
who will be with you at every turn. We have offices in every
state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Although
TAS is independent within the IRS, our advocates know how
to work with the IRS to get your problems resolved. And our
services are always free.
If you think TAS might be able to help you, call your local
advocate, whose number is in your phone book and on our
website at www.irs.gov/advocate. You can also call our
toll-free number at 1-877-777-4778.
TAS also handles large-scale or systemic problems that affect
many taxpayers. If you know of one of these broad issues,
please report it to us through our Systemic Advocacy
Management System at www.irs.gov/advocate.
Low Income Taxpayer Clinics
Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs) are independent from
the IRS. Some clinics serve individuals whose income is below
a certain level and who need to resolve a tax problem. These
clinics provide professional representation before the IRS or in
court on audits, appeals, tax collection disputes, and other
issues for free or for a small fee. Some clinics can provide
information about taxpayer rights and responsibilities in many
different languages for individuals who speak English as a
second language. For more information and to find a clinic
near you, see the LITC page on www.irs.gov/advocate or IRS
Publication 4134, Low Income Taxpayer Clinic List. This
publication is also available by calling 1-800-829-3676 or at
your local IRS office.
As a taxpayer, you have rights that the IRS must abide by in its
dealings with you. Our online tax toolkit at www.
TaxpayerAdvocate.irs.gov can help you understand these
rights.
Suggestions for Improving the IRS
Taxpayer Advocacy Panel
Have a suggestion for improving the IRS and do not know who to contact? The Taxpayer Advocacy Panel (TAP) is a diverse
group of citizen volunteers who listen to taxpayers, identify taxpayers’ issues, and make suggestions for improving IRS service
and customer satisfaction. The panel is demographically and geographically diverse, with at least one member from each state,
the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Contact TAP at www.improveirs.org or 1-888-912-1227 (toll-free).

Options for e-filing your returns—safely, quickly, and easily.
Why do 80% of Americans file their taxes electronically?
• Security—The IRS uses the latest encryption technology to safeguard your information.
• Flexible Payments—File early; pay by April 17.
• Greater Accuracy—Fewer errors mean faster processing.
• Quick Receipt—Receive an acknowledgment that your return was
accepted.
Go Green—Reduce the amount of paper used.
•
• It’s Free—through Free File.
• Faster Refunds—Get your refund faster by e-filing
using direct deposit.
IRS e-file: It’s Safe. It’s Easy. It’s
Time.
Joining the 110 million Americans who already are
using e-file is easy. Just ask your paid or volunteer tax
preparer, use commercial software, or use Free File.
IRS e-file is the safest, most secure way to transmit
your tax return to the IRS. Since 1990, the IRS has
processed more than 1 billion e-filed tax returns safely
and securely. There’s no paper return to be lost or
stolen.
Starting January 1, 2012, many tax return preparers will
be required to use IRS e-file. If you are asked if you want
to e-file, just give it a try. IRS e-file is now the norm, not
the exception. Most states also use electronic filing.
Free e-file Help Available Nationwide
Volunteers are available in communities nationwide
providing free tax assistance to low to moderate income
(generally under $50,000 in adjusted gross income) and
elderly taxpayers (age 60 and older). At selected sites,
taxpayers can input and electronically file their own tax
return with the assistance from an IRS-certified volunteer.
See Free Tax Return Assistance near the end of these
instructions for additional information or visit IRS.gov
(Keyword: VITA) for a VITA/TCE site near you!
Everyone Can Free File
If your adjusted gross income was $57,000 or less in
2011, you can use free tax software to prepare and e-file
your tax return. Earned more? Use Free File Fillable
Forms.
Free File. This public-private partnership, between the
IRS and tax software providers, makes approximately 20
popular commercial software products and e-file available
for free. Seventy percent of the nation’s taxpayers are
eligible.
Just visit www.irs.gov/freefile for details. Free File
combines all the benefits of e-file and easy-to-use
software at no cost. Guided questions will help ensure
you get all the tax credits and deductions you are due.
It’s fast, safe, and free.
You can review each provider’s eligibility rules or use an
online tool to find those software products that match
your situation. Some providers offer state tax return
preparation either for a fee or for free. Free File also is
available in English and Spanish.
Free File Fillable Forms. The IRS offers electronic
versions of IRS paper forms that also can be e-filed for
free. Free File Fillable Forms is best for people
experienced in preparing their own tax returns. There are
no income limitations. Free File Fillable Forms does
basic math calculations. It supports only federal tax
forms.
IRS.gov is the gateway to all electronic services offered by the IRS, as well as the spot to download forms if you should
choose to file a paper return.

Capital gains and losses. In most cases,

losses on new Form 8949 and report the
totals on Schedule D. If you sold a covered
security in 2011, your broker will send you
a Form 1099-B (or substitute statement)
that shows your basis. This will help you
complete Form 8949. Generally, a covered
security is a security acquired after 2010.
See the instructions for line 13.
Self-employed health insurance deduction.
This deduction is no longer allowed on
Schedule SE. However, you can still take it
on Form 1040, line 29. See the instructions
for line 29 for more information about this
deduction.

Standard mileage rates. The 2011 rate for
business use of your vehicle is increased to
51 cents a mile (551⁄2 cents a mile after June
30, 2011). The 2011 rate for use of your
vehicle to get medical care or to move is
increased to 19 cents a mile (231⁄2 cents a
mile after June 30, 2011). In addition, beginning in 2011, you may use the business
standard mileage rate for a vehicle used for
hire, such as a taxicab.
Roth IRAs. If you converted or rolled over
an amount to a Roth IRA in 2010 and did
not elect to report the taxable amount on
your 2010 return, you generally must report
half of it on your 2011 return and the rest
on your 2012 return. Report the amount
that is taxable on your 2011 return on line
15b (for conversions from IRAs) or 16b
(for rollovers from qualified retirement
plans, other than from a designated Roth
account). See the instructions for lines 15a
and 15b and lines 16a and 16b.
Designated Roth accounts. If you rolled

You do not need it to figure your 2011 standard deduction. Instead, see the instructions for line 40.
Expired tax benefits. The making work
pay credit has expired. You cannot claim it
on your 2011 return. Schedule M is no
longer in use.
You cannot claim the alternative motor
vehicle credit for a vehicle you bought after
2010, unless the vehicle is a new fuel cell
motor vehicle. See Form 8910 and its instructions.
Mailing your return. If you are filing a pa-
per return, you may be mailing it to a different address this year because the IRS has
changed the filing location for several areas. See Where Do You File? at the end of
these instructions.

your return the income of a child who was
under age 19 at the end of 2011 or was a
full-time student under age 24 at the end of
2011. To do so, use Form 8814. If you
make this election, your child does not have
to file a return. For details, use TeleTax

!
When and Where
Should You File?
File Form 1040 by April 17, 2012. (The
due date is April 17, instead of April 15,

is the Emancipation Day holiday in the District of Columbia). If you file after this date,
you may have to pay interest and penalties.
See Interest and Penalties, later.
If you were serving in, or in support of,
the U.S. Armed Forces in a designated
combat zone or contingency operation, you
may be able to file later. See Pub. 3 for
details.
Filing instructions and addresses are at
the end of these instructions.
What if You Cannot File on
Time?
You can get an automatic 6-month extension (to October 15, 2012) if, no later than
the date your return is due, you file Form
4868. For details, see Form 4868.
An automatic 6-month extension to file does not extend the
time to pay your tax. If you do
CAUTION
not pay your tax by the original
due date of your return, you will owe interest on the unpaid tax and may owe penalties. See Form 4868.
!
- 7 -
If you are a U.S. citizen or resident
alien, you may qualify for an automatic
extension of time to file without filing
Form 4868. You qualify if, on the due date

• You live outside the United States and
Puerto Rico and your main place of business or post of duty is outside the United
States and Puerto Rico.
• You are in military or naval service on
duty outside the United States and Puerto
Rico.
This extension gives you an extra 2
months to file and pay the tax, but interest
will be charged from the original due date
of the return on any unpaid tax. You must
include a statement showing that you meet
the requirements. If you are still unable to
file your return by the end of the 2-month
period, you can get an additional 4 months
if, no later than June 15, 2012, you file
Form 4868. This 4-month extension of time
to file does not extend the time to pay your
tax. See Form 4868.

‘‘timely mailing as timely filing/paying’’

*If you were born on January 1, 1947, you are considered to be age 65 at the end of 2011.
**Gross income means all income you received in the form of money, goods, property, and services that is not exempt from tax,
including any income from sources outside the United States or from the sale of your main home (even if you can exclude part or all of
it). Do not include any social security benefits unless (a) you are married filing a separate return and you lived with your spouse at any
time in 2011 or (b) one-half of your social security benefits plus your other gross income and any tax-exempt interest is more than
$25,000 ($32,000 if married filing jointly). If (a) or (b) applies, see the instructions for lines 20a and 20b to figure the taxable part of
social security benefits you must include in gross income. Gross income includes gains, but not losses, reported on Form 8949. Gross
income from a business means, for example, the amount on Schedule C, line 7, or Schedule F, line 9. But, in figuring gross income, do
not reduce your income by any losses, including any loss on Schedule C, line 7, or Schedule F, line 9.

Instructions for
Form 1040
Name and Address
Print or type the information in the spaces
provided. If you are married filing a separate return, enter your spouse’s name on
line 3 instead of below your name.
If you filed a joint return for
2010 and you are filing a joint
TIP
return for 2011 with the same
spouse, be sure to enter your
names and SSNs in the same order as on
your 2010 return.
Name Change
If you changed your name because of marriage, divorce, etc., be sure to report the
change to the Social Security Administration (SSA) before filing your return. This
prevents delays in processing your return
and issuing refunds. It also safeguards your
future social security benefits.
Address Change
If you plan to move after filing your return,
use Form 8822 to notify the IRS of your
new address.
P.O. Box
Enter your box number only if your post
office does not deliver mail to your home.
Foreign Address
If you have a foreign address, enter the city
name on the appropriate line. Do not enter
any other information on that line, but also
complete the spaces below that line. Do not
abbreviate the country name. Follow the
country’s practice for entering the postal
code and the name of the province, county,
or state.

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 both the name and SSN on
your Forms 1040, W-2, and 1099 agree
with your social security card. If they do
not, certain deductions and credits on your
Form 1040 may be reduced or disallowed
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 SSA.
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 takes 6 to 10 weeks
to get an ITIN.
If you already have an ITIN, enter it
wherever your SSN is requested on your
tax return.
Note. An ITIN is for tax use only. It does
not entitle you to social security benefits or
change your employment or immigration
status under U.S. law.
Nonresident Alien Spouse
If your spouse is a nonresident alien, he 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 spouse, or
• Your spouse is filing a separate return.

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.
TIP
More than one filing status can
apply to you. Choose the one
that will give you the lowest
tax.
Line 1
Single
You can check the box on line 1 if any of
the following was true on December 31,
2011.
• You were never married.
• You were legally separated according
to your state law under a decree of divorce
or separate maintenance. But if, at the end
of 2011, your divorce was not final (an
interlocutory decree), you are considered
married and cannot check the box on line 1.
• You were widowed before
January 1, 2011, and did not remarry before
the end of 2011. 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.
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 2011,
even if you did not live with your spouse at
the end of 2011.
• Your spouse died in 2011 and you did
not remarry in 2011.
2011 Form 1040 — Lines 2 Through 4
• You were married at the end of 2011,
and your spouse died in 2012 before filing a
2011 return.
For federal tax purposes, a marriage
means only a legal union between a man
and a woman as husband and wife, and the
word “spouse” means a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a 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 interest or penalties due on the return. This
means that if one spouse does not pay the
tax due, the other may have to. Or, if one
spouse does not report the correct tax, both
spouses may be responsible for any additional taxes assessed by the IRS. You may
want to file separately if:
• You believe your spouse is not reporting all of his or her income, or
• You do not want to be responsible for
any taxes due if your spouse does not have
enough tax withheld or does not pay
enough estimated tax.
See the instructions for line 3. Also see
Innocent Spouse Relief under General Information, later.
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 2011,
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 generally report only your own income, exemptions, deductions, and credits.
Generally, you are responsible only for the
tax on your own income. Different rules
apply to people in community property
states; see Pub. 555.
However, 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.
Be sure to enter your spouse’s SSN or
ITIN on Form 1040. If your spouse does
not have and is not required to have an SSN
or ITIN, enter “NRA.”
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 2011. See Married
persons who live apart.

Head of Household
This filing status is for unmarried individuals who provide a home for certain other
persons. You are considered unmarried for
this purpose if any of the following applies.
• You were legally separated according
to your state law under a decree of divorce
or separate maintenance at the end of 2011.
But if, at the end of 2011, your divorce was
not final (an interlocutory decree), you are
considered married.
• You are married but lived apart from
your spouse for the last 6 months of 2011
and you meet the other rules under Married
persons who live apart, below.
• You are married to a nonresident alien
at any time during the year and you do not
choose to treat him or her as a resident
alien.
Check the box on line 4 only if you are
unmarried (or considered unmarried) and
either Test 1 or Test 2 applies.

Who was not a qualifying child (see Step 1) of any taxpayer
for 2011. For this purpose, a person is not a taxpayer if he or
she is not required to file a U.S. income tax return and either
does not file such a return or files only to get a refund of
withheld income tax or estimated tax paid
Definitions and Special Rules
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.
Adoption taxpayer identification numbers (ATINs). If you have a
AND
dependent who was placed with you for legal adoption and you do
not know his or her SSN, you must get an ATIN for the dependent
from the IRS. See Form W-7A for details. If the dependent is not a
U.S. citizen or resident alien, apply for an ITIN instead, using Form
W-7.
Who had gross income of less than $3,700 in 2011. If the
person was permanently and totally disabled, see Exception to

as the qualifying child or qualifying relative of his or her noncustodial parent (defined later) 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 2011 (whether or not they are or were
married).
2. The child received over half of his or her support for 2011
from the parents (and the rules on Multiple support agreements, later, do not apply). 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 2011.
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 2011, and the noncustodial parent includes a
copy of the form or statement with his or her return. If the
divorce decree or separation agreement went into effect after
1984 and before 2009, the noncustodial parent may be able to
include certain pages from the decree or agreement instead of
Form 8332. See Post-1984 and pre-2009 decree or agreement
and Post-2008 decree or agreement.
- 16 -
2011 Form 1040 — Line 6c
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 2011.
If conditions (1) through (4) apply, only the noncustodial parent
can claim the child for purposes of the dependency exemption (line
6c) and the child tax credits (lines 51 and 65). However, this special
rule does not apply to head of household filing status, the credit for
child and dependent care expenses, the exclusion for dependent
care benefits, the earned income credit, or the health coverage tax
credit. See Pub. 501 for details.
Custodial and noncustodial parents. The custodial parent is the
parent with whom the child lived for the greater number of nights in
2011. The noncustodial parent is the other parent. If the child was
with each parent for an equal number of nights, the custodial parent
is the parent with the higher adjusted gross income. See Pub. 501
for an exception for a parent who works at night, rules for a child
who is emancipated under state law, and other details.
Post-1984 and pre-2009 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 include 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 include the required information even if you
filed it with your return in an earlier year.
CAUTION
Post-2008 decree or agreement. If the divorce decree or separation agreement went into effect after 2008, the noncustodial parent
cannot include pages from the decree or agreement instead of Form
8332. The custodial parent must sign either Form 8332 or a substantially similar statement the only purpose of which is to release the
custodial parent’s claim to an exemption for a child, and the noncustodial parent must include a copy with his or her return. The
form or statement must release the custodial parent’s claim to the
child without any conditions. For example, the release must not
depend on the noncustodial parent paying support.
Release of exemption revoked. A custodial parent who has revoked his or her previous release of a claim to exemption for a child
must include a copy of the revocation with his or her return. For
details, see Form 8332.
Claim for refund. A claim for refund is a return filed only to get a
refund of withheld income tax or estimated tax paid. A return is not
a claim for refund if the earned income credit or any other similar
refundable credit is claimed on it.
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 requirement to be a U.S. citizen in
Step 2, question 1; Step 3, question 2; and Step 4, question 2.
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 later), 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. Temporary absences by you or
the other person for special circumstances, such as school, vacation,
business, medical care, military service, or detention in a juvenile
facility, count as time the person lived with you. Also see Children
of divorced or separated parents, earlier, or Kidnapped child, later.
A person is considered to have lived with you for all of 2011 if
the person was born or died in 2011 and your home was this
person’s home for the entire time he or she was alive in 2011.
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 dependency exemption, the child tax credit, and the
earned income credit (EIC). For details, see Pub. 501 (Pub. 596 for
the EIC).
Married person. If the person is married and files a joint return,
you cannot claim that person as your dependent. Go to Form 1040,
line 7. However, if the person is married but does not file a joint
return or files a joint return only as a Claim for refund (defined
earlier) and no tax liability would exist for either spouse if they filed
separate returns, you may be able to claim him or her as a dependent. Go to Step 2, question 3 (for a qualifying child) or Step 4,
question 4 (for a qualifying relative).
Multiple support agreements. If no one person contributed over
half of the support of your relative (or 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 is permanently and
totally disabled if, at any time in 2011, the person 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. Even if a child meets the
conditions to be 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, described earlier, applies.
1. Dependency exemption (line 6c).
2. Child tax credits (lines 51 and 65).
3. Head of household filing status (line 4).
4. Credit for child and dependent care expenses (line 48).
5. Exclusion for dependent care benefits (Form 2441, Part III).
6. Earned income credit (lines 64a and 64b).
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 can claim the child as a qualifying child, the following
rules apply.
• If only one of the persons is the child’s parent, the child is
treated as the qualifying child of the parent.
• If the parents do not file a joint return together but both parents
claim the child as a qualifying child, the IRS will treat the
child as the qualifying child of the parent with whom the child
lived for the longer period of time in 2011. If the child lived
with each parent for the same amount of time, the IRS will
treat the child as the qualifying child of the parent who had the
higher adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2011.
• If no parent can claim the child as a qualifying child, the child
is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the
highest AGI for 2011.
• If a parent can claim the child as a qualifying child but no
parent does so claim the child, the child is treated as the
qualifying child of the person who had the highest AGI for
2011, but only if that person’s AGI is higher than the highest
AGI of any parent of the child who can claim the child.
Example. Your daughter meets the conditions to be a qualifying
child for both you and your mother. Your daughter does not meet
the conditions to be a qualifying child of any other person, including her other parent. Under the rules just described, you can claim

your daughter as a qualifying child for all of the six tax benefits just
listed for which you otherwise qualify. Your mother cannot claim
any of those six tax benefits unless she has a different qualifying
child. However, if your mother’s AGI is higher than yours and you
do not claim your daughter as a qualifying child, your daughter is
the qualifying child of your mother.
For more details and examples, see Pub. 501.

Income
Generally, you must report all income except income that is exempt from tax by law.
For details, see the following instructions,
especially the instructions for lines 7
through 21. Also see Pub. 525.
Foreign-Source Income
You must report unearned income, such as
interest, dividends, and pensions, from
sources outside the United States unless exempt by law or a tax treaty. You must also
report earned income, such as wages and
tips, from sources outside the United
States.
If you worked abroad, you may be able
to exclude part or all of your foreign earned
income. For details, see Pub. 54 and Form
2555 or 2555-EZ.
Foreign retirement plans. If you were a
beneficiary of a foreign retirement plan,
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.
Report distributions from foreign pension plans on lines 16a and 16b.
Foreign accounts and trusts. You must
complete Part III of Schedule B if you:
• Had a foreign account, or
• Received a distribution from, or were
a grantor of, or a transferor to, a foreign
trust.
If you had foreign financial assets in
2011, you may have to file new Form 8938.
Check www.irs.gov/form8938 for details.
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Cases
If you are a debtor in a chapter 11 bankruptcy case, income taxable to the bankruptcy estate and reported on the estate’s
income tax return includes:
• Earnings from services you performed
after the beginning of the case (both wages
and self-employment income), and
• Income from property described in
section 541 of title 11 of the U.S. Code that
you either owned when the case began or
that you acquired after the case began and
before the case was closed, dismissed, or
converted to a case under a different chapter.
Because this income is taxable to the
estate, do not include this income on your
own individual income tax return. The only
exception is for purposes of figuring your
self-employment tax. For that purpose, you
must take into account all your self-employment income for the year from services
performed both before and after the begin-
ning of the case. Also, you (or the trustee, if
one is appointed) must allocate between
you and the bankruptcy estate the wages,
salary, or other compensation and withheld
income tax reported to you on Form W-2.
A similar allocation is required for income
and withheld income tax reported to you on
Forms 1099. You must also include a statement that indicates you filed a chapter 11
case and that explains how income and
withheld income tax reported to you on
Forms W-2 and 1099 are allocated between
you and the estate. For more details, including acceptable allocation methods, see Notice 2006-83, 2006-40 I.R.B. 596, available
at
www.irs.gov/irb/2006-40_IRB/ar12.html.
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, you must usually
follow state law to determine what is community income and what is separate income. For details, see Pub. 555.
Nevada, Washington, and California
domestic partners. A registered domestic
partner in Nevada, Washington, or California (or a person in California who is married to a person of the same sex) generally
must report half the combined community
income of the individual and his or her
domestic partner (or California same-sex
spouse). See Pub. 555 and the recent developments at www.irs.gov/pub555.
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.

the following types of income must also be
included in the total on line 7.

• Dependent care benefits, which
should be shown in box 10 of your Form(s)
W-2. But first complete Form 2441 to see if
you can exclude part or all of the benefits.
• Employer-provided adoption benefits,
which should be shown in box 12 of your
Form(s) W-2 with code T. But see the Instructions for Form 8839 to find out if you
can exclude part or all of the benefits. You
may also be able to exclude amounts if you
adopted a child with special needs and the
adoption became final in 2011.
• Scholarship and fellowship grants not
reported on Form W-2. Also, enter “SCH”
and the amount on the dotted line next to
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.
• Excess salary deferrals. The amount
deferred should be shown in box 12 of your
Form W-2, and the “Retirement plan” box
in box 13 should be checked. If the total
amount you (or your spouse if filing
jointly) deferred for 2011 under all plans
was more than $16,500 (excluding
catch-up contributions as explained below), include the excess on line 7. This
limit is (a) $11,500 if you only have
SIMPLE plans, or (b) $19,500 for section
403(b) plans if you qualify for the 15-year
rule in Pub. 571. Although designated Roth
contributions are subject to this limit, do
not include the excess attributable to such
contributions on line 7. They are already
included as income in box 1 of your Form
W-2.

Were You a Statutory Employee?
Ordinary Dividends
If you were, the “Statutory employee” box
in box 13 of your Form W-2 should be
checked. Statutory employees include
full-time life insurance salespeople, certain
agent or commission drivers and traveling
salespeople, and certain homeworkers. If
you have related business expenses to deduct, report the amount shown in box 1 of
your Form W-2 on Schedule C or C-EZ
along with your expenses.
Each payer should send you a Form
1099-DIV. Enter your total ordinary dividends on line 9a. This amount should be

Your employer is required to provide or
send Form W-2 to you no later than
January 31, 2012. If you do not receive it
by early February, use TeleTax topic 154 to
find out what to do. Even if you do not get a
Form W-2, you must still report your earnings on line 7. If you lose your Form W-2
or it is incorrect, ask your employer for a
new one.
Line 8a
Taxable Interest
Each payer should send you a Form
1099-INT or Form 1099-OID. Enter your
total taxable interest income on line 8a. But
you must fill in and attach Schedule B if the
total is over $1,500 or any of the other
conditions listed at the beginning of the

Nondividend Distributions
Some distributions are a return of your cost
(or other basis). They will not be taxed until
you recover your cost (or other basis). You
must reduce your cost (or other basis) by
these distributions. After you get back all of
your cost (or other basis), you must report
these distributions as capital gains on
Schedule D. For details, see Pub. 550.
Dividends on insurance policies
are a partial return of the premiums you paid. Do not report
them as dividends. Include
them in income on line 21 only if they

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 re-
ported 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 Schedule B instructions.
• 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 that follow. 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 just described.
• 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 July 8, 2011.
XYZ Corp. paid a cash dividend of 10 cents
per share. The ex-dividend date was July
15, 2011. Your Form 1099-DIV from XYZ
Corp. shows $500 in box 1a (ordinary dividends) and in box 1b (qualified dividends).
However, you sold the 5,000 shares on August 11, 2011. You held your shares of
XYZ Corp. for only 34 days of the 121-day
period (from July 9, 2011, through August
11, 2011). The 121-day period began on
May 16, 2011 (60 days before the ex-dividend date), and ended on September 13,
2011. You have no qualified dividends

None of your refund is taxable
if, in the year you paid the tax,
you either (a) did not itemize
deductions, or (b) elected to deduct state and local general sales taxes instead of state and local income taxes.
TIP
If you received a refund, credit, or offset
of state or local income taxes in 2011, you
may receive a Form 1099-G. If you chose
to apply part or all of the refund to your
2011 estimated state or local income tax,
the amount applied is treated as received in
2011. If the refund was for a tax you paid in
2010 and you deducted state and local income taxes on line 5 of your 2010 Schedule

IRA Distributions
You should receive a Form 1099-R showing the total amount of any distribution
from your IRA before income tax or other
deductions were withheld. This amount
should be shown in box 1 of Form 1099-R.
Unless otherwise noted in the line 15a and
15b 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 15a
blank and enter the total distribution (from
Form 1099-R, box 1) on line 15b.
If you converted part or all of an IRA to
a Roth IRA in 2010 and did not elect to
report the taxable amount on your 2010
return, you generally must report half of it
on your 2011 return and the rest on your
2012 return. See 2010 Roth IRA conversions, later.
Exception 1. Enter the total distribution on
line 15a 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),
• SEP or SIMPLE IRA to a traditional
IRA, or
Need more information or forms? Visit IRS.gov.
- 22 -
• IRA to a qualified plan other than an
IRA.
Also, enter “Rollover” next to line 15b.
If the total distribution was rolled over in a
qualified rollover, enter -0- on line 15b. If
the total distribution was not rolled over in
a qualified rollover, enter the part not rolled
over on line 15b unless Exception 2 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 2012, include a statement explaining what you did.
Exception 2. If any of the following apply,
enter the total distribution on line 15a and
see Form 8606 and its instructions to figure
the amount to enter on line 15b.
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 2011 or an earlier year. If you made nondeductible contributions to these IRAs for 2011, 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 15b; 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 2006 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 2011.
4. You had a 2010 or 2011 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 2011.
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 quali-
fied charitable distribution (QCD), enter
the total distribution on line 15a. If the total
amount distributed is a QCD, enter -0- on
line 15b. If only part of the distribution is a
QCD, enter the part that is not a QCD on
line 15b unless Exception 2 applies to that
part. Enter “QCD” next to line 15b.
A QCD is a distribution made directly
by the trustee of your IRA (other than an
ongoing SEP or SIMPLE IRA) to an organization eligible to receive tax-deductible
contributions (with certain exceptions).
2011 Form 1040 — Lines 15b Through 16b
You must have been at least age 701⁄2 when
the distribution was made.
Generally, 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.) If you elected to treat a
January 2011 QCD as made in 2010, report
it on your 2011 return like any other 2011
QCD, as just described. However, if you
also made another 2011 QCD and the total
was more than $100,000 per spouse, attach
a brief explanation. For example: “Line
15b – Spouse One’s 2010 QCD $75,000;
Spouse One’s 2011 QCD $70,000.”
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.
2010 and did not elect to report the taxable
amount on your 2010 return, include on
line 15b the amount from your 2010 Form
8606, line 20a. However, you may have to
include a different amount on line 15b if
either of the following applies.
• You received a distribution from a
Roth IRA in 2010 or the owner of the Roth
IRA died in 2011. See Pub. 590 to figure
the amount to include on line 15b.
• You received a distribution from a
Roth IRA in 2011. Use Form 8606 to figure
the amount to include on line 15b.
You cannot claim a charitable
contribution deduction for any
QCD not included in your income.
You may have to pay an additional tax if (a) you received an
early distribution from your
CAUTION
IRA and the total was not rolled
over, or (b) you were born before July 1,
1940, and received less than the minimum
required distribution from your traditional,
SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs. See the instructions for line 58 for details.
!
CAUTION
Exception 4. If the distribution is a health
savings account (HSA) funding distribution (HFD), enter the total distribution on
line 15a. If the total amount distributed is
an HFD and you elect to exclude it from
income, enter -0- on line 15b. If only part of
the distribution is an HFD and you elect to
exclude that part from income, enter the
part that is not an HFD on line 15b unless
Exception 2 applies to that part. Enter
“HFD” next to line 15b.
An HFD is a distribution made directly
by the trustee of your IRA (other than an
ongoing SEP or SIMPLE IRA) to your
HSA. If eligible, you generally can elect to
exclude an HFD from your income once in
your lifetime. You cannot exclude more
than the limit on HSA contributions or
more than the amount that would otherwise
be included in your income. If your IRA
includes nondeductible contributions, the
HFD is first considered to be paid out of
otherwise taxable income. See Pub. 969 for
details.
The amount of an HFD reduces
the amount you can contribute
to your HSA for the year. If you
CAUTION
fail to maintain eligibility for an
HSA for the 12 months following the
month of the HFD, you may have to report
the HFD as income and pay an additional
tax. See Form 8889, Part III.
!
More than one exception applies. If more
than one exception applies, include a statement showing the amount of each exception, instead of making an entry next to line
15b. For example: “Line 15b – $1,000
Rollover and $500 HFD.” But you do not
need to attach a statement if only Exception
2 and one other exception apply.

Pensions and Annuities
You should receive a Form 1099-R showing the total amount of your pension and
annuity payments before income tax or
other deductions were withheld. This
amount should be shown in box 1 of Form
1099-R. Pension and annuity payments include distributions from 401(k), 403(b),
and governmental 457(b) plans. Rollovers
and lump-sum distributions are explained
later. Do not include the following payments on lines 16a and 16b. Instead, report
them on line 7.
• Disability pensions received before
you reach the minimum retirement age set
by your employer.
• Corrective distributions (including
any earnings) of excess salary deferrals or
excess contributions to retirement plans.
The plan must advise you of the year(s) the
distributions are includible in income.
TIP
Attach Form(s) 1099-R to
Form 1040 if any federal
income tax was withheld.
If you rolled over part or all of a qualified retirement plan (other than a designated Roth account) to a Roth IRA in 2010
(or you rolled over part or all of a 401(k) or
403(b) plan to a designated Roth account in
- 23 -
2010) and did not elect to report the taxable
amount on your 2010 return, you generally
must report half of it on your 2011 return
and the rest on your 2012 return. See 2010
Roth IRA rollovers, or 2010 in-plan rollovers, whichever applies, later.
Fully Taxable Pensions and
Annuities
Your payments are fully taxable if (a) you
did not contribute to the cost (see Cost,
later) of your pension or annuity, or (b) you
got your entire cost back tax free before
2011. But see Insurance Premiums for Retired Public Safety Officers, later. If your
pension or annuity is fully taxable, enter the
total pension or annuity payments (from
Form(s) 1099-R, box 1) on line 16b; do not
make an entry on line 16a.
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
(from Form 1099-R, box 1) on line 16a. 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 16b. But if your
annuity starting date (defined later) was after July 1, 1986, see Simplified Method,
later, to find out if you must use that
method to figure the taxable part.
You can ask the IRS to figure the taxable part for you for a $1,000 fee. For details, see Pub. 939.
If your Form 1099-R shows a taxable
amount, you can report that amount on
line 16b. But you may be able to report a
lower taxable amount by using the General
Rule or the Simplified Method or if the
exclusion for retired public safety officers,
discussed next, applies.
Insurance Premiums for Retired
Public Safety Officers
If you are an eligible retired public safety
officer (law enforcement officer,
firefighter, chaplain, or member of a rescue
squad or ambulance crew), you can elect to
exclude from income distributions made
from your eligible retirement plan that are
used to pay the premiums for coverage by
an accident or health plan or a long-term
care insurance contract. You can do this
only if you retired because of disability or
because you reached normal retirement
age. The premiums can be for coverage for
you, your spouse, or dependents. The distribution must be from a plan maintained
by the employer from which you retired as
a public safety officer. Also, the distribution must be made directly from the plan to

of a retiree, use the retiree’s age on his or
her annuity starting date. But if your annuity starting date was after 1997 and the
payments are for your life and that of your
beneficiary, use your combined ages on the
annuity starting date.
If you are the beneficiary of an employee who died, see Pub. 575. If there is
more than one beneficiary, see Pub. 575 or
Pub. 721 to figure each beneficiary’s taxable amount.
Cost
Your cost is generally your net investment
in the plan as of the annuity starting date. It
does not include pre-tax contributions.
Your net investment should be shown in
box 9b of Form 1099-R for the first year
you received payments from the plan.
Rollovers
Generally, a qualified rollover is a tax-free
distribution of cash or other assets from one
retirement plan that is contributed to another plan within 60 days of receiving the
distribution. However, a qualified rollover
to a Roth IRA or a designated Roth account
is generally not a tax-free distribution. Use
lines 16a and 16b to report a qualified rollover, including a direct rollover, from one
qualified employer’s plan to another or to
an IRA or SEP.
Enter on line 16a the distribution from
Form 1099-R, box 1. From this amount,
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 on line 16b. If the remaining
amount is zero and you have no other distribution to report on line 16b, enter zero on
line 16b. Also, enter ‘‘Rollover’’ next to
line 16b.
See Pub. 575 for more details on rollovers, including special rules that apply to
rollovers from designated Roth accounts,
partial rollovers of property, and distributions under qualified domestic relations orders.
2010 Roth IRA rollovers. If you rolled
over part or all of a qualified retirement
plan (other than a designated Roth account)
to a Roth IRA in 2010 and did not elect to
report the taxable amount on your 2010
return, include on line 16b the amount from
your 2010 Form 8606, line 25a. However,
you may have to include a different amount
on line 16b (or include an amount on line
15b instead of line 16b) if either of the
following applies.
• You received a distribution from a
Roth IRA in 2010 or the owner of the Roth
IRA died in 2011. See Pub. 575 to figure
the amount to include on line 16b.
• You received a distribution from a
Roth IRA in 2011. Use Form 8606 to figure
the amount to include on line 15b.
2010 in-plan Roth rollovers. If you rolled
over part or all of a qualified retirement
plan to a designated Roth account in 2010
and did not elect to report the taxable
amount on your 2010 return, include on
line 16b the amount from your 2010 Form
8606, line 25a. However, you may have to
include a different amount on line 16b if
either of the following applies.
• You received a distribution from your
designated Roth account in 2010 after September 27, or the owner of the designated
- 25 -
Roth account died in 2011. See Pub. 575 to
figure the amount to include on line 16b.
• You received a distribution from the
designated Roth account in 2011. Use
Form 8606 to figure the amount to include
on line 16b.
Lump-Sum Distributions
If you received a lump-sum distribution
from a profit-sharing or retirement plan,
your Form 1099-R should have the ‘‘Total
distribution’’ box in box 2b checked. You
may owe an additional tax if you received
an early distribution from a qualified retirement plan and the total amount was not
rolled over in a qualified rollover. For details, see the instructions for line 58.
Enter the total distribution on line 16a
and the taxable part on line 16b. For details,
see Pub. 575.
You may be able to pay less tax
on the distribution if you were
born before January 2, 1936, or
you are the beneficiary of a deceased employee who was born before January 2, 1936. For details, see Form 4972.
TIP
Line 19
Unemployment
Compensation
You should receive a Form 1099-G showing in box 1 the total unemployment compensation paid to you in 2011. Report this
amount on line 19. However, if you made
contributions to a governmental unemployment compensation program and you are
not itemizing deductions, reduce the
amount you report on line 19 by those contributions.
If you received an overpayment of unemployment compensation in 2011 and
you repaid any of it in 2011, subtract the
amount you repaid from the total amount
you received. Enter the result on line 19.
Also, enter “Repaid” and the amount you
repaid on the dotted line next to line 19. If,
in 2011, you repaid unemployment compensation that you included in gross income in an earlier year, you can deduct the
amount repaid on Schedule A, line 23. But
if you repaid more than $3,000, see Repayments in Pub. 525 for details on how to
report the repayment.
Lines 20a and 20b

• You were self-employed and had a net
profit for the year.
• You were a partner with net earnings
from self-employment.
• You used one of the optional methods
to figure your net earnings from self-employment on Schedule SE.
• You received wages in 2011 from an
S corporation in which you were a
more-than-2% shareholder. Health insurance premiums paid or reimbursed by the S
corporation are shown as wages on Form
W-2.
The insurance plan must be established
under your business. Your personal services must have been a material income-producing factor in the business. If you are
filing Schedule C, C-EZ, or F, the policy
can be either in your name or in the name of
the business.
If you are a partner, the policy can be
either in your name or in the name of the
partnership. You can either pay the premiums yourself or your partnership can pay
them and report them as guaranteed payments. If the policy is in your name and you
pay the premiums yourself, the partnership
must reimburse you and report the premiums as guaranteed payments.
If you are a more-than-2% shareholder
in an S corporation, the policy can be either
in your name or in the name of the S corporation. You can either pay the premiums
yourself or the S corporation can pay them
and report them as wages. If the policy is in
your name and you pay the premiums yourself, the S corporation must reimburse you.
You can deduct the premiums only if the S
corporation reports the premiums paid or
reimbursed as wages in box 1 of your Form
W-2 in 2011 and you also report the premium payments or reimbursements as
wages on Form 1040, line 7.
But if you were also eligible to participate in any subsidized health plan maintained by your or your spouse’s employer
for any month or part of a month in 2011,
amounts paid for health insurance coverage
for that month cannot be used to figure the
deduction. Also, if you were eligible for
any month or part of a month to participate
in any subsidized health plan maintained by
the employer of either your dependent or
your child who was under age 27 at the end
of 2011, do not use amounts paid for coverage for that month to figure the deduction.
Example. If you were eligible to participate in a subsidized health plan maintained by your spouse’s employer from
September 30 through December 31, you
cannot use amounts paid for health insurance coverage for September through December to figure your deduction.
Medicare premiums you voluntarily pay
to obtain insurance that is similar to qualifying private health insurance can be used
to figure the deduction. Amounts paid for
health insurance coverage from retirement
plan distributions that were nontaxable because you are a retired public safety officer
cannot be used to figure the deduction.

spouse if filing a joint return, must have
had earned income to do so. For IRA purposes, earned income includes alimony and
separate maintenance payments reported
on line 11. If you were a member of the
U.S. Armed Forces, earned income includes any nontaxable combat pay you received. If you were self-employed, earned
income is generally your net earnings from
self-employment if your personal services
were a material income-producing factor.
For more details, see Pub. 590. A statement
should be sent to you by May 31, 2012, that
shows all contributions to your traditional
IRA for 2011.
Use the IRA Deduction Worksheet to
figure the amount, if any, of your IRA deduction. But read the following 10-item list
before you fill in the worksheet.
1. If you were age 701⁄2 or older at the
end of 2011, you cannot deduct any contributions made to your traditional IRA for
2011 or treat them as nondeductible contributions.
2. You cannot deduct contributions to a
Roth IRA. But you may be able to take the
retirement savings contributions credit

If you are filing a joint return
and you or your spouse made
contributions to both a tradiCAUTION
tional IRA and a Roth IRA for
2011, do not use the IRA Deduction Worksheet in these instructions. Instead, see Pub.
590 to figure the amount, if any, of your
IRA deduction.

3. You cannot deduct elective deferrals
to a 401(k) plan, 403(b) 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 50.
4. If you made contributions to your
IRA in 2011 that you deducted for 2010, do
not include them in the worksheet.
5. If you received income from a nonqualified deferred compensation plan or
nongovernmental section 457 plan that is
included in box 1 of your Form W-2, or in
box 7 of Form 1099-MISC, do not include
that income on line 8 of the worksheet. The
income should be shown in (a) box 11 of
your Form W-2, (b) box 12 of your Form
W-2 with code Z, or (c) box 15b of Form
1099-MISC. If it is not, contact your employer or the payer for the amount of the
income.
6. You must file a joint return to deduct
contributions to your spouse’s IRA. Enter
the total IRA deduction for you and your
spouse on line 32.

If you were covered by a retirement plan
(qualified pension, profit-sharing (including 401(k)), annuity, SEP, SIMPLE, etc.) at
work or through self-employment, your

• You paid interest in 2011 on a qualified student loan (see below).
• Your filing status is any status except
married filing separately.
• Your modified adjusted gross income
(AGI) is less than: $75,000 if single, head
of household, or qualifying widow(er);

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
else’s (such as your parent’s) 2011 tax return.
Use the worksheet below to figure your
student loan interest deduction.
Exception. Use Pub. 970 instead of the
worksheet below to figure your student
loan interest deduction if you file Form
2555, 2555-EZ, or 4563, or you exclude
income from sources within Puerto Rico.
Qualified student loan. A qualified student
loan is any loan you took out to pay the
qualified higher education expenses for any
of the following individuals.
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

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 ($3,700 for 2011), 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 later). 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.
Qualified higher education expenses.
Qualified higher education 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

enough, we will send you a bill.
M No. Use one of the following methods
to figure your tax.
Tax Table or Tax Computation Worksheet. If your taxable income is less than
ule D is more than zero, use the Schedule D
Tax Worksheet in the Instructions for
Schedule D to figure the amount to enter on
Form 1040, line 44. But if you are filing
Form 2555 or 2555-EZ, you must use the
Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet instead.
However, do not use the Tax Table or
Tax Computation Worksheet to figure your
tax if any of the following applies.
Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax
Worksheet. Use the Qualified Dividends
$100,000, you must use the Tax Table, later
in these instructions, to figure your tax. Be
sure you use the correct column. If your
taxable income is $100,000 or more, use
the Tax Computation Worksheet right after
the Tax Table.
Form 8615. Form 8615 generally must be
used to figure the tax for any child who had
more than $1,900 of investment income,
such as taxable interest, ordinary dividends, or capital gains (including capital
gain distributions), and who either:
1. Was under age 18 at the end of 2011,

not have earned income that was more than
half of the child’s support, or
3. Was a full-time student over age 18
and under age 24 at the end of 2011 and did
not have earned income that was more than
half of the child’s support.
But if the child files a joint return for
2011 or if neither of the child’s parents was
alive at the end of 2011, do not use Form
8615 to figure the child’s tax.
A child born on January 1, 1994, is considered to be age 18 at the end of 2011; a
child born on January 1, 1993, is considered to be age 19 at the end of 2011; a child
born on January 1, 1988, is considered to be
age 24 at the end of 2011.

• You do not have to file Schedule D
and you reported capital gain distributions
on Form 1040, line 13.
• You are filing Schedule D and Schedule D, lines 15 and 16, are both more than
zero.

2555-EZ, you must use the Foreign Earned
Income Tax Worksheet instead.
Schedule J. If you had income from farm-
ing or fishing (including certain amounts
received in connection with the Exxon
Valdez litigation), your tax may be less if
you choose to figure it using income averaging on Schedule J.
Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet.
If you claimed the foreign earned income
exclusion, housing exclusion, or housing
deduction on Form 2555 or 2555-EZ, you
must figure your tax using the Foreign
Earned Income Tax Worksheet.

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 2011 is a
qualifying child only if (a) you can claim him or her as your
dependent on Form 1040, line 6c, or (b) you could have claimed
him or her as your dependent except for the special rule for Children
of divorced or separated parents in the instructions for line 6c.
Members of the military. If you were on extended active duty
outside the United States, your main home is considered to be in the
United States during that duty period. Extended active duty is
military duty ordered for an indefinite period or for a period of more
than 90 days. Once you begin serving extended active duty, you are
considered to be on extended active duty even if you do not serve
more than 90 days.
Nonresident aliens. If your filing status is married filing jointly, go
to Step 2. Otherwise, stop; you cannot take the EIC. Enter “No” on
the dotted line next to line 64a.
Permanently and totally disabled. A person is permanently and
totally disabled if, at any time in 2011, the person could not engage
in any substantial gainful activity because of a physical or mental
condition and a doctor has determined that this condition (a) has
lasted or can be expected to last continuously for at least a year, or
(b) can be expected to lead to death.
Qualifying child of more than one person. Even if a child meets the
conditions to be 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 in the instructions for line 6c applies.
1. Dependency exemption (line 6c).
2. Child tax credits (lines 51 and 65).
3. Head of household filing status (line 4).
4. Credit for child and dependent care expenses (line 48).
5. Exclusion for dependent care benefits (Form 2441, Part III).
6. Earned income credit (lines 64a and 64b).
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 can claim the child as a qualifying child, the following
rules apply.
Need more information or forms? Visit IRS.gov.
• If only one of the persons is the child’s parent, the child is
treated as the qualifying child of the parent.
• If the parents do not file a joint return together but both parents
claim the child as a qualifying child, the IRS will treat the
child as the qualifying child of the parent with whom the child
lived for the longer period of time in 2011. If the child lived
with each parent for the same amount of time, the IRS will
treat the child as the qualifying child of the parent who had the
higher adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2011.
• If no parent can claim the child as a qualifying child, the child
is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the
highest AGI for 2011.
• If a parent can claim the child as a qualifying child but no
parent does so claim the child, the child is treated as the
qualifying child of the person who had the highest AGI for
2011, but only if that person’s AGI is higher than the highest
AGI of any parent of the child who can claim the child.
Example. Your daughter meets the conditions to be a qualifying
child for both you and your mother. Your daughter does not meet
the conditions to be a qualifying child of any other person, including her other parent. Under the rules above, you can claim your
daughter as a qualifying child for all of the six tax benefits listed
here for which you otherwise qualify. Your mother cannot claim
any of the six tax benefits listed here unless she has a different
qualifying child. However, if your mother’s AGI is higher than
yours and you do not claim your daughter as a qualifying child,
your daughter is the qualifying child of your mother.
For more details and examples, see Pub. 596.
If you will not be taking the EIC with a qualifying child, enter
“No” on the dotted line next to line 64a. Otherwise, go to Step 3,
question 1.
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 Social Security Number
(SSN) near the beginning of these instructions. If you will not have
an SSN by the date your return is due, see What if You Cannot File
on Time?
Student. A student is a child who during any part of 5 calendar
months of 2011 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 cannot be counted as income when determining if you or anyone else is eligible for benefits or assistance, or
how much you or anyone else can receive, under any federal program or under any state or local program financed in whole or in
part with federal funds. These programs include Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(food stamps). In addition, when determining eligibility, the refund
cannot be counted as a resource for at least 12 months after you
receive it. Check with your local benefit coordinator to find out if
your refund will affect your benefits.

2011 Form 1040 — Lines 65 Through 74a
Line 65
Additional Child Tax Credit
What Is the Additional Child Tax
Credit?
This credit is for certain people who have at
least one qualifying child as defined in the
instructions for line 6c. The additional
child tax credit may give you a refund even
if you do not owe any tax.
Two Steps To Take the Additional
Child Tax Credit!
Step 1. Be sure you figured the amount, if
any, of your child tax credit. See the instructions for line 51.
Step 2. Read the TIP at the end of your
Child Tax Credit Worksheet. Use Form
8812 to see if you can take the additional
child tax credit, but only if you meet the
condition given in that TIP.
Line 66
American Opportunity Credit
If you meet the requirements to claim an
education credit (see the instructions for
line 49), enter on line 66 the amount, if any,
from Form 8863, line 14.
Line 67
First-Time Homebuyer Credit
You can claim this credit only if:
• You (or your spouse if married) were
a member of the uniformed services or Foreign Service, or an employee of the intelligence community, on qualified official
extended duty outside the United States for
at least 90 days during the period beginning
after December 31, 2008, and ending
before May 1, 2010, and
• You bought a main home in the
United States in 2011 before May 1.
For more details and additional requirements, see Form 5405 and its instructions.
Line 68
Amount Paid With Request
for Extension To File
If you filed Form 4868 to get an automatic
extension of time to file Form 1040, enter
any amount you paid with that form or by
electronic funds withdrawal, credit or debit
card, or the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). If you paid by
credit or debit card, do not include on line
68 the convenience fee you were charged.
Also, include any amounts paid with Form
2350.
TIP
You may be able to deduct any
credit or debit card convenience
fees on your 2012 Schedule A.
Line 69
Excess Social Security and
Tier 1 RRTA Tax Withheld
If you, or your spouse if filing a joint return, had more than one employer for 2011
and total wages of more than $106,800, too
much social security or tier 1 railroad retirement (RRTA) tax may have been withheld. You can take a credit on this line for
the amount withheld in excess of
$4,485.60. But if any one employer withheld more than $4,485.60, you cannot
claim the excess on your return. The employer should adjust the tax for you. If the
employer does not adjust the overcollection, you can file a claim for refund using
Form 843. Figure this amount separately
for you and your spouse.
You cannot claim a refund for excess
tier 2 RRTA tax on Form 1040. Instead, use
Form 843.
For more details, see Pub. 505.
Line 70
Credit for Federal Tax on
Fuels
Enter any credit for federal excise taxes
paid on fuels that are ultimately used for a
nontaxable purpose (for example, an
off-highway business use). Attach Form
4136.
Line 71
Check the box(es) on line 71 to report any
credit from Form 2439, 8839, 8801 (line
27), or 8885. If you claim more than one of
these credits, enter the total on line 71.
If you are claiming a credit for repayment of amounts you included in your income in an earlier year because it appeared
you had a right to the income, include the
credit on line 71 and enter “I.R.C. 1341” to
the right of line 71. See Pub. 525 for details
about this credit.
Refund
Line 73
Amount Overpaid
If line 73 is under $1, we will send a refund
only on written request.
- 69 -
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 2012
under General Information, later.
TIP
Refund Offset
If you owe past-due federal tax, state income tax, state unemployment compensation debts, child support, spousal support,
or certain federal nontax debts, such as student loans, all or part of the overpayment
on line 73 may be used (offset) to pay the
past-due amount. Offsets for federal taxes
are made by the IRS. All other offsets are
made by the Treasury Department’s Financial Management Service (FMS). For federal tax offsets, you will receive a notice
from the IRS. For all other offsets, you will
receive a notice from FMS. To find out if
you may have an offset or if you have any
questions about it, contact the agency to
which you owe the debt.
Injured Spouse
If you file a joint return and your spouse
has not paid past-due federal tax, state income tax, state unemployment compensation debts, child support, spousal support,
or a federal nontax debt, such as a student
loan, part or all of the overpayment on line
73 may be used (offset) to pay the past-due
amount. But your part of the overpayment
may be refunded to you if certain conditions apply and you complete Form 8379.
For details, use TeleTax topic 203 or see
Form 8379.
Lines 74a Through 74d
Amount Refunded to You
If you want to check the status of your
refund, see Refund Information, later.
Before checking the status of your refund,
please wait at least 72 hours after IRS acknowledges receipt of your e-filed return (3
to 4 weeks after you mail a paper return).
But if you filed Form 5405, 8379, or 8839
with your return, allow 14 weeks (11 weeks
if you filed electronically).
Effect of refund on benefits. Any refund
you receive cannot be counted as income
when determining if you or anyone else is
eligible for benefits or assistance, or how
much you or anyone else can receive, under
any federal program or under any state or
local program financed in whole or in part
with federal funds. These programs include
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
(TANF), Medicaid, Supplemental Security
Income (SSI), and Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (food stamps). In addition, when determining eligibility, the refund cannot be counted as a resource for at
least 12 months after you receive it. Check
with your local benefit coordinator to find
out if your refund will affect your benefits.

notify the trustee or custodian of your account of the year to which the deposit is to

not notify the trustee or custodian in advance, the trustee or custodian can assume
the deposit to your IRA is for 2012. If you

If you want us to directly deposit the
amount shown on line 74a to your checking

statement.
!
CAUTION
This election to apply part or all
of the amount overpaid to your
2012 estimated tax cannot be
changed later.
Amount You Owe
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 17,
2012. If you file your return after April 17,
2012, you can include interest and penalty
in your payment. Visit www.irs.gov/e-pay
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.irs.gov/e-pay or www.eftps.gov
or call EFTPS’ Customer Service at
1-800-316-6541. TTY/TDD help is available by calling 1-800-733-4829.
Line 76
Amount You Owe
To save interest and penalties,
pay your taxes in full by April
17, 2012. You do not have to
pay if line 76 is under $1.
Include any estimated tax penalty from
line 77 in the amount you enter on line 76.
You can pay by check, money order,
credit or debit card, or EFTPS. Do not include any estimated tax payment for 2012
in this payment. Instead, make the estimated tax payment separately.
To pay by check or money order. Make
your 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
“2011 Form 1040” 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 us process your payment, enter
the amount on the right side of the check
like this: $ XXX.XX. Do not use dashes or
lines (for example,
do not enter “$ XXX – ”
xx
or “$ XXX100”).
Then, complete Form 1040-V following
the instructions on that form and enclose it
in the envelope with your tax return and
payment. Although you do not have to use
Form 1040-V, doing so allows us to process your payment more accurately and efficiently.
Bad check or payment. The penalty for
writing a bad check to the IRS is $25 or 2%
of the check, whichever is more. This penalty also applies to other forms of payment
if the IRS does not receive the funds. Use
TeleTax topic 206.
TIP
To pay by credit or debit card or EFTPS.
For information on these payment methods,
go to www.irs.gov/e-pay.
You may need to (a) increase
the amount of income tax withheld from your pay by filing a
new Form W-4, (b) increase the
tax withheld from other income by filing
Form W-4P or W-4V, or (c) make estimated tax payments for 2012. See Income
Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax Payments for 2012 under General Information,
later.
What If You Cannot Pay?
If you cannot pay the full amount shown on
line 76 when you file, you can ask for:
• An installment agreement, or
• An extension of time to pay.
Installment agreement. Under an installment agreement, you can pay all or part of
the tax you owe in monthly installments.
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 17,
2012. You must also pay a fee. To limit the
TIP
- 71 -
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 or
9465-FS. To apply online, go to IRS.gov
and click on “Tools” and then “Online Payment Agreement.”
Extension of time to pay. If paying the tax
when it is due would cause you an undue
hardship, you can ask for an extension of
time to pay by filing Form 1127 by April
17, 2012. An extension generally will not
be granted for more than 6 months. If you
pay after April 17, 2012, you will be
charged interest on the tax not paid by April
15, 2012. You must pay the tax before the
extension runs out. If you do not, penalties
may be imposed.
Line 77
Estimated Tax Penalty
You may owe this penalty if:
• Line 76 is at least $1,000 and it is
more than 10% of the tax shown on your
return, or
• You did not pay enough estimated tax
by any of the due dates. This is true even if
you are due a refund.
For most people, the “tax shown on your
return” is the amount on your 2011 Form
1040, line 61, minus the total of any
amounts shown on lines 64a, 65, 66, 67,
and 70 and Forms 8828, 4137, 5329 (Parts
III through VIII only), 8801 (line 27 only),
8839, 8885, and 8919. Also subtract from
line 61 any tax on an excess parachute payment, any excise tax on insider stock compensation of an expatriated corporation,
any uncollected social security and Medicare or RRTA tax on tips or group-term life
insurance, any look-back interest due under
section 167(g) or 460(b), and any write-in
tax included on line 60 from Form 8885.
When figuring the amount on line 61, include household employment taxes only if
line 62 is more than zero or you would owe
the penalty even if you did not include
those taxes.
Exception. You will not owe the penalty if
your 2010 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 2010
return and you were a U.S. citizen or resident for all of 2010.
2. The total of lines 62, 63, and 69 on
your 2011 return is at least 100% of the tax
shown on your 2010 return (110% of that
amount if you are not a farmer or fisherman, and your adjusted gross income
(AGI) shown on your 2010 return was
more than $150,000 (more than $75,000 if
married filing separately for 2011)). Your

line 60 any tax on an excess parachute payment, any excise tax on insider stock compensation of an expatriated corporation,
any uncollected social security and Medicare or RRTA tax on tips or group-term life
insurance, any look-back interest due under
section 167(g) or 460(b), and any write-in
tax included on line 60 from Form 8885.
When figuring the amount on line 60, include household employment taxes only if
line 61 is more than zero or you would have
owed the estimated tax penalty for 2010
even if you did not include those taxes. But
if you entered an amount on your 2010
Schedule H, line 7, include the total of that
amount plus the household employment
taxes on your 2010 Form 1040, line 59.
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).
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.
Figuring the Penalty
If the Exception just described does not
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.
Enter any penalty on line 77. Add the
penalty to any tax due and enter the total on
line 76.
The authorization will automatically
end no later than the due date (without regard to extensions) for filing your 2012 tax
return. This is April 15, 2013, for most
people. If you wish to revoke the authorization before it ends, see Pub. 947.
However, if you have an overpayment
on line 73, subtract the penalty from the
amount you would otherwise enter on line
74a or line 75. Lines 74a, 75, and 77 must
equal line 73.
Sign Your Return
apply and you choose to figure the penalty
yourself, use Form 2210 (or 2210-F for
farmers and fishermen).
If the penalty is more than the overpayment on line 73, enter -0- on lines 74a and
75. Then subtract line 73 from line 77 and
enter the result on line 76.
Do not file Form 2210 with your return
unless Form 2210 indicates that you must
do so. Instead, keep it for your records.
Because Form 2210 is complicated, you can leave line 77
TIP
blank and the IRS will figure
the penalty and send you a bill.
We will not charge you interest on the penalty if you pay by the date specified on the
bill. If your income varied during the year,
the annualized income installment method
may reduce the amount of your penalty.
But you must file Form 2210 because the
IRS cannot figure your penalty under this
method. See the Instructions for Form 2210
for other situations in which you may be
able to lower your penalty by filing Form
2210.
Third Party Designee
If you want to allow your preparer, a friend,
a family member, or any other person you
choose to discuss your 2011 tax return with
the IRS, check the “Yes” box in the “Third
Form 1040 is not considered a valid return
unless you sign it. If you are filing a joint
return, your spouse must also sign. If your
spouse cannot sign the return, see Pub. 501.
Be sure to date your return and enter your
occupation(s). If you have someone prepare your return, you are still responsible
for the correctness of the return. If your
return is signed by a representative for you,
you must have a power of attorney attached
that specifically authorizes the representative to sign your return. To do this, you can
use Form 2848. If you are filing a joint
return as a surviving spouse, see Death of a
Taxpayer, later.
Child’s Return
If your child cannot sign the return, either
parent can sign the child’s name in the
space provided. Then, enter “By (your signature), parent for minor child.”
Daytime Phone Number
Providing your daytime phone number may
help speed the processing of your return.
We may have questions about items on
your return, such as the earned income
credit, credit for child and dependent care
expenses, etc. If you answer our questions
over the phone, we may be able to continue
processing your return without mailing you

- 72 -
a letter. If you are filing a joint return, you
can enter either your or your spouse’s daytime phone number.
Electronic Return
Signatures!
To file your return electronically, you must
sign the return electronically using a personal identification number (PIN). If you
are filing online using software, you must
use a Self-Select PIN. If you are filing electronically using a tax practitioner, you can
use a Self-Select PIN or a Practitioner PIN.
Self-Select PIN. The Self-Select PIN
method allows you to create your own PIN.
If you are married filing jointly, you and
your spouse will each need to create a PIN
and enter these PINs as your electronic signatures.
A PIN is any combination of five digits
you choose except five zeros. If you use a
PIN, there is nothing to sign and nothing to
mail — not even your Forms W-2.
To verify your identity, you will be
prompted to enter your adjusted gross income (AGI) from your originally filed
2010 federal income tax return, if applicable. Do not use your AGI from an amended
return (Form 1040X) or a math error correction made by IRS. AGI is the amount
shown on your 2010 Form 1040, line 38;
Form 1040A, line 22; or Form 1040EZ,
line 4. If you do not have your 2010 income
tax return, call the IRS at 1-800-908-9946
to get a free transcript of your return or visit
IRS.gov and click on “Order a Tax Return
or Account Transcript.” (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 2010 return.) You will also be
prompted to enter your date of birth (DOB).
!
CAUTION
You cannot use the Self-Select
PIN method if you are a
first-time filer under age 16 at
the end of 2011.
If you cannot locate your prior
year AGI or prior year PIN, use
the Electronic Filing PIN Request. This can be found at
IRS.gov. Click on “Tools” and then “Electronic Filing PIN Request.” Or you can call
1-866-704-7388.
TIP
Practitioner PIN. The Practitioner PIN
method allows you to authorize your tax
practitioner to enter or generate your PIN.
The practitioner can provide you with details.
Form 8453. You must send in a paper
Form 8453 if you have to attach certain
forms or other documents that cannot be
electronically filed. For details, see Form
8453.
Identity Protection
PIN
If the IRS gave you an identity protection
personal identification number (PIN) because you were a victim of identity theft,
enter it in the spaces provided below your
daytime phone number. If the IRS has not
given you this type of number, leave these
spaces blank.
Preparer Tax Identification Number
(PTIN) 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.
Assemble Your Return
Assemble any schedules and forms behind
Form 1040 in order of the “Attachment Se-
quence No.” shown in the upper right corner of the schedule or form. If you have
supporting statements, arrange them in the
same order as the schedules or forms they
support and attach them last. Do not attach
correspondence or other items unless required to do so. Attach a copy of Forms
W-2 and 2439 to the front of Form 1040. If
you received a Form W-2c (a corrected
Form W-2), attach a copy of your original
Forms W-2 and any Forms W-2c. Also attach Forms W-2G and 1099-R to the front
of Form 1040 if tax was withheld.

Generally, anyone you pay to prepare your
return must sign it and include their

Example. Mr. and Mrs. Brown are filing a joint return. Their
taxable income on Form 1040, line 43, is $25,300. First, they
find the $25,300 – 25,350 taxable income line. Next, they find
the column for married filing jointly and read down the column.
The amount shown where the taxable income line and filing
status column meet is $2,949. This is the tax amount they

General Information
How To Avoid Common
Mistakes
Mistakes can delay your refund or result in
notices being sent to you.
• Make sure you entered the correct
name and social security number (SSN) for
each dependent you claim on line 6c.
Check that each dependent’s name and
SSN agrees with his or her social security
card. For each child under age 17 who is a
qualifying child for the child tax credit,
make sure you checked the box in line 6c,
column (4).
• Check your math, especially for the
child tax credit, earned income credit
(EIC), taxable social security benefits, total
income, itemized deductions or standard
deduction, deduction for exemptions, taxable income, total tax, federal income tax
withheld, and refund or amount you owe.
• Be sure you used the correct method
to figure your tax. See the instructions for
line 44.
• Be sure to enter your SSN in the space
provided on page 1 of Form 1040. If you
are married filing a joint or separate return,
also enter your spouse’s SSN. Be sure to
enter your SSN in the space next to your
name. Check that your name and SSN
agree with your social security card.
• Make sure your name and address are
correct. Enter your (and your spouse’s)
name in the same order as shown on your
last return.
• If you live in an apartment, be sure to
include your apartment number in your address.
• If you are taking the standard deduction, see the instructions for line 40 to be
sure you entered the correct amount.
• If you received capital gain distributions but were not required to file Schedule
D, make sure you checked the box on line
13.
• If you are taking the EIC, be sure you
used the correct column of the EIC Table
for your filing status and the number of
children you have.
• Remember to sign and date Form
1040 and enter your occupation(s).
• Attach your Form(s) W-2 and other
required forms and schedules. Put all forms
and schedules in the proper order. See Assemble Your Return, earlier.
• If you owe tax and are paying by
check or money order, be sure to include all
the required information on your payment.
See the instructions for line 76 for details.
• Do not file more than one original return for the same year, even if you have not
gotten your refund or have not heard from
the IRS since you filed. Filing more than
one original return for the same year, or
sending in more than one copy of the same
return (unless we ask you to do so), could
delay your refund.
have tax withheld from those payments by
giving the payer Form W-4V.
You can use the IRS Withholding Calculator at www.irs.gov/
individuals, instead of Pub. 505
or the worksheets included with
Form W-4 or W-4P, to determine whether
you need to have your withholding increased or decreased.
TIP
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. You may also qualify
for relief if you were a married resident of a
community property state but did not file a
joint return and are now liable for an underpaid or understated tax. File Form 8857
to request relief. In some cases, Form 8857
may need to be filed within 2 years of the
date on which the IRS first attempted to
collect the tax from you. Do not file Form
8857 with your Form 1040. For more information, see Pub. 971 and Form 8857 or you
can call the Innocent Spouse office toll-free
at 1-866-897-4270.
Income Tax
Withholding and
Estimated Tax
Payments for 2012
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 2012 pay. For details on how to
complete Form W-4, see Pub. 505. If you
have pension or annuity income, use Form
W-4P. If you receive certain government
payments (such as unemployment compensation or social security benefits), you can
- 87 -
In general, you do not have to make
estimated tax payments if you expect that
your 2012 Form 1040 will show a tax refund or a tax balance due of less than
$1,000. If your total estimated tax for 2012
is $1,000 or more, see Form 1040-ES. It
has a worksheet you can use to see if you
have to make estimated tax payments. For
more details, see Pub. 505.
Secure Your Tax
Records from Identity
Theft
Identity theft occurs when someone uses
your personal information, such as your
name, social security number (SSN), or
other identifying information, without your
permission, to commit fraud or other
crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN
to get a job or may file a tax return using
your SSN to receive a refund.
To reduce your risk:
• Protect your SSN,
• Ensure your employer is protecting
your SSN, and
• Be careful when choosing a tax
preparer.
If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the
IRS, respond right away to the name and
phone number printed on the IRS notice or
letter.
If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you
are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or
wallet, questionable credit card activity or
credit report, etc., contact the IRS Identity
Protection Specialized Unit at
1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.
For more information, see Pub. 4535.
Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a systemic problem, or are 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 the
National Taxpayer Advocate helpline at
1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD
1-800-829-4059.
Protect yourself from suspicious emails or
phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation
and use of email and websites designed to
mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common form is sending an
email to a user falsely claiming to be an
established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering
private information that will be used for
identity theft.
The IRS does not initiate contacts with
taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does
not request detailed personal information
through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN
numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank,
or other financial accounts.
If you receive an unsolicited email
claiming to be from the IRS, forward the
message to phishing@irs.gov. You may
also report misuse of the IRS name, logo,
forms, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration toll-free at 1-800-366-4484 or TTY/
TDD 1-800-877-8339. You can forward
suspicious emails to the Federal Trade
Commission at spam@uce.gov or contact
them at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or
1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338) or
TTY/TDD 1-866-653-4261.
Visit IRS.gov and enter “identity theft”
in the search box to learn more about identity theft and how to reduce your risk.
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 the instructions for line 76
for details on how to pay any tax you owe.
Go to www.publicdebt.treas.gov/ for information on how to make this type of gift
online.
TIP
You may be able to deduct this
gift on your 2012 tax return.
How Long Should
Records Be Kept?
Keep a copy of your tax return, worksheets
you used, and records of all items appearing on it (such as Forms W-2 and 1099)
until the statute of limitations runs out for
that return. Usually, this is 3 years from the
date the return was due or filed or 2 years
from the date the tax was paid, whichever is
later. You should keep some records
longer. For example, keep property records
(including those on your home) as long as
they are needed to figure the basis of the
original or replacement property. For more
details, see chapter 1 of Pub. 17.
Amended Return
File Form 1040X to change a return you
already filed. Generally, Form 1040X must
be filed within 3 years after the date the
original return was filed or within 2 years
after the date the tax was paid, whichever is
later. But you may have more time to file
Form 1040X if you live in a federally declared disaster area or you are physically or
mentally unable to manage your financial
affairs. See Pub. 556 for details.
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

Death of a Taxpayer
If a taxpayer died before filing a return for
2011, 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 2011 and you did
not remarry in 2011, or if your spouse died
in 2012 before filing a return for 2011, you
can file a joint return. A joint return should
show your spouse’s 2011 income before
death and your income for all of 2011.
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

past due tax returns, use TeleTax topic 153
or go to www.irs.gov/individuals for help

the address that applies to you in the latest
Form 1040 instructions. For example, if
you are filing a 2008 return in 2012, use the
address at the end of these instructions.
However, if you got an IRS notice, mail the
return to the address in the notice.

TIP
If you include interest or penalties
(other than the estimated tax penalty) with
your payment, identify and enter the
amount in the bottom margin of Form
1040, page 2. Do not include interest or
penalties (other than the estimated tax penalty) in the amount you owe on line 76.
Interest
We will charge you interest on taxes not
paid by their due date, even if an extension
of time to file is granted. We will also
charge you interest on penalties imposed
for failure to file, negligence, fraud, substantial valuation misstatements, substantial understatements of tax, and reportable
transaction understatements. Interest is
charged on the penalty from the due date of
the return (including extensions).
Penalties
Late filing. If you do not file your return
by the due date (including extensions), the
penalty is usually 5% of the amount due for
each month or part of a month your return
is late, unless you have a reasonable explanation. If you do, include it with your return. The penalty can be as much as 25% of
the tax due. The penalty is 15% per month,
up to a maximum of 75%, if the failure to
file is fraudulent. If your return is more
than 60 days late, the minimum penalty will
be $135 or the amount of any tax you owe,
whichever is smaller.
Late payment of tax. If you pay your taxes
late, the penalty is usually 1⁄2 of 1% of the
unpaid amount for each month or part of a
month the tax is not paid. The penalty can
be as much as 25% of the unpaid amount. It
applies to any unpaid tax on the return. This
penalty is in addition to interest charges on
late payments.
Frivolous return. In addition to any other
penalties, the law imposes a penalty of
$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 2010-33, 2010-17
I.R.B. 609, available at
www.irs.gov/irb/2010-17_IRB/ar13.html.
Other. Other penalties can be imposed for

You do not have to figure the amount of
any interest or penalties you may owe. Because figuring these amounts can be complicated, we will do it for you if you want.
We will send you a bill for any amount due.

negligence, substantial understatement of
tax, reportable transaction understatements,
filing an erroneous refund claim, and fraud.
Criminal penalties may be imposed for
willful failure to file, tax evasion, or making a false statement. See Pub. 17 for details on some of these penalties.

complete answers to your questions by having the following information available.
• The tax form, schedule, or notice to

varies from one taxpayer to another because of differences in their age, income,
whether they can be claimed as a dependent, etc.

look for the answer.
To maintain your account security, you
may be asked for the following information, which you should also have available.

uses several methods to evaluate our telephone service. One method is to record
telephone calls for quality purposes only. A

of customers for participation in a customer
satisfaction survey.

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
you to provide your identifying number on the
return. This is so we know who you are, and can
process your return and other papers. You must
fill in all parts of the tax form that apply to you.
But you do not have to check the boxes for the
Presidential Election Campaign Fund or for the
third-party designee. You also do not have to
provide your daytime phone number.
You are not required to provide the information requested on a form that is subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act unless the form displays a valid OMB control number. Books or
records relating to a form or its instructions must
be retained as long as their contents may become
material in the administration of any Internal
Revenue law.
We ask for tax return information to carry
out the tax laws of the United States. We need it
to figure and collect the right amount of tax.
If you do not file a return, do not provide the
information we ask for, or provide fraudulent
information, you may be charged penalties and
be subject to criminal prosecution. We may also
have to disallow the exemptions, exclusions,
credits, deductions, or adjustments shown on the
tax return. This could make the tax higher or
delay any refund. Interest may also be charged.
Generally, tax returns and return information
are confidential, as stated in Code section 6103.
However, Code section 6103 allows or requires
the Internal Revenue Service to disclose or give
the information shown on your tax return to
others as described in the Code. For example, we
may disclose your tax information to the Department of Justice to enforce the tax laws, both civil
and criminal, and to cities, states, the District of
Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths or possessions 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 needed 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.

may help you if we ask you for other information. If you have questions about the rules for
filing and giving information, please call or visit
any Internal Revenue Service office.
We Welcome Comments on
Forms
We try to create forms and instructions that can
be easily understood. Often this is difficult to do
because our tax laws are very complex. For
some people with income mostly from wages,
filling in the forms is easy. For others who have
businesses, pensions, stocks, rental income, or
other investments, it is more difficult.
If you have suggestions for making these
forms simpler, we would be happy to hear from
you. You can email us at taxforms@irs.gov.
Please put “Forms Comment” on the subject
line. You can also send us comments from www.
irs.gov/formspubs/. Select “Comment on Tax
Forms and Publications” under “Information
About.” Or you can write to Internal Revenue
Service, Individual and Specialty Forms and
Publications Branch, SE:W:CAR:MP:T:I, 1111
Constitution Ave. NW, IR-6526, Washington,
DC 20224. Do not send your return to this address. Instead, see the addresses at the end of
these instructions.
Although we cannot respond individually to
each comment received, we do appreciate your
feedback and will consider your comments as
we revise our tax forms and instructions.
Estimates of Taxpayer Burden
The table below shows burden estimates based
on current statutory requirements as of October
21, 2011, for taxpayers filing a 2011 Form 1040,
1040A, or 1040EZ tax return. Time spent and
out-of-pocket costs are presented separately.
Time burden is broken out by taxpayer activity,
with recordkeeping representing the largest
component. Out-of-pocket costs include any expenses incurred by taxpayers to prepare and submit their tax returns. Examples include tax
return preparation and submission fees, postage
and photocopying costs, and tax preparation
software costs. While these estimates do not include burden associated with post-filing activities, IRS operational data indicate that
electronically prepared and filed returns have
fewer arithmetic errors, implying lower post-filing burden.
Reported time and cost burdens are national
averages and do not necessarily reflect a “typical” case. Most taxpayers experience lower than
average burden, with taxpayer burden varying
considerably by taxpayer type. For instance, the
estimated average time burden for all taxpayers
filing a Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ is 18
hours, with an average cost of $230 per return.
This average includes all associated forms and
schedules, across all preparation methods and
taxpayer activities. The average burden for taxpayers filing Form 1040 is about 22 hours and
$290; the average burden for taxpayers filing
Form 1040A is about 10 hours and $120; and the
average for Form 1040EZ filers is about 7 hours
and $50.
Within each of these estimates there is significant variation in taxpayer activity. For example, nonbusiness taxpayers are expected to have
an average burden of about 12 hours and $150,
while business taxpayers are expected to have an
average burden of about 32 hours and $410.
Similarly, tax preparation fees and other
out-of-pocket costs vary extensively depending
on the tax situation of the taxpayer, the type of
software or professional preparer used, and the
geographic location.

and cost estimates below, you can contact us at

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 receipt of the
President’s proposal, the Congress reviews
the proposal 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 2010 (which began on October 1, 2009, and ended on September 30,
2010), Federal income was $2,163 billion

Footnotes for Certain Federal
Outlays
1. Social security, Medicare, and
other retirement: These programs provide
income support for the retired and disabled
and medical care for the elderly.
2. National defense, veterans, and foreign affairs: About 20% of outlays were to
equip, modernize, and pay our armed
forces and to fund 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.

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 16% 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 shown here exclude undistributed offsetting receipts, which were $82 billion in fiscal year 2010. 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.
