About Form 1040

• Who fills it in: U.S. citizens and residents who must file a tax return.
• Where it goes: The IRS. Most people e-file; this PDF is for filing on paper or working out the numbers.
• PDFPane fills in the form; it does not calculate your tax.
• If you send it on paper, how it must be signed is set by the instructions — some forms need a signature in ink, so print the filled form and sign it by hand.
