Form 1040 (Schedule H) and Form 1040: Basics
Form 1040: U.S. Individual Tax Return Definition, Types, and Use
Form 1040 is used to report all information for the taxes that the taxpayer may be required to pay. The taxpayer may file one Form 1040 for each financial year (from January 1 to December 31) that they have been employed. The individual taxpayer must file the Form 1040 for all financial years in which the taxpayer filed a return during one of the previous two periods, (January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2017). The taxpayer may file a combined return if all the taxpayer's financial years were the same. Example. A married couple, one of whom is employed and the other retired, filed a combined tax return for two tax years. Form 1040-ES was approved. Source: Internal Revenue Ruling 74-16(1), U.S. Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, November 13, 1974. The IRS has stated that it approves a combined return with the following definitions: Form 1040-ES Form 1040-B-XS, 1040A-XS, 1040A-ES, 1040B-ES, 1040B-XS Form 1040NR-EZ Form 1040NR-T (all versions) Form 1040-ES is the primary form that the taxpayer files and the only form that may be filed for each financial year for all employees under the same account, even if the taxpayer has previously filed Forms 1040-A and Forms 1040 in multiple years for that employer's employees. The Form 1040-ES is the form that will be used by the employee to report all the employee's information on. The Form 1040-ES will include a statement of: Tax payment status, including whether the taxpayer: Wrote a Form 1040 each year for his/her entire employer. Did not write a Form 1040 each year for his/her entire employer Form 1040-B-XS is a Form 1040 version of Form 1040-ES. Form 1040A-ES, if filed, will not be reported on Form 1040-ES since the employee filed Form 1040A-E with a TIN for only one year of employment with the same employer on January 1, 2017. Forms 1040A-A, 1040A-E, and 1040-B-E are the three Forms 1040-ES and Form 1040-T used by an employee to file their U.S. individual tax

A “tax return,” then, must be submitted to the IRS by an individual filing taxes for the year. This form is sent to the IRS by a taxpayer during the taxpayer's monthly tax response period, which is the time from the due date of filing the return to the payment of all the taxes due. The IRS uses its own rules when it determines which taxpayers fall within the monthly tax response period. Forms for Forms 1040 (Tax Returns) and 1040NR Use Form 1040, which can be mailed to the IRS or mailed to the address on the form.

Form 1120 should not be used only if the taxpayer did not use a different address on the 1040 and the 1120 forms.
