1040
IRS annual filing
The 1040 is the standard U.S. federal income tax return form filed annually by individuals.
The number has become shorthand for the tax return itself or the process of filing: I need to finish my 1040 before April 15.
Variants like 1040-EZ (discontinued) and 1040-SR (for seniors) address different filer situations.
