how many pages is the average tax return
Form 1040 Form 1040 consists of two full pages (79 lines in total) not counting attachments.[1] The first page collects information about the taxpayer(s), dependents, income items, and adjustments to income. In particular, the taxpayer specifies his/her filing status and personal exemptions on this page. The second page calculates the allowable deductions and credits, tax due given the income figure, and applies funds already withheld from wages or estimated payments made towards the tax liability. At the top of the first page is the presidential election campaign fund checkoff, which allows individuals to designate that the federal government give $3 of the tax it receives to the Presidential election campaign fund.[2] The instructions booklet for Form 1040 is 104 pages as of 2014.[3]
