Overview
After you create a 1040.com account, our walk-through technology guides you through preparing your tax return from start to finish. Along the way, you will answer questions about your tax situation, and 1040.com will automatically find the tax credits and deductions you qualify for. 1040.com uses IRS guidelines to complete the forms and calculate the amount you owe or be refunded.
Our platform is flexible. If you already know the forms you need, you can jump directly to any form you want.
- For federal forms, go to Federal Taxes > Review > I’d like to see the forms I’ve filled out or search for a form
- For state forms, go to State Taxes > I’d like to see the forms I’ve filled out or search for a form.
You can also complete your return in as many sessions as needed, just click Save my progress… I’ll finish this form later.
State Returns
State returns are also included in our flat-rate pricing, making it easy for you to file everything in one place without breaking the bank.
We use the entries you make on your federal return to automatically fill out most (if not all) of your state return.
Preview and File
When you are done preparing your taxes, you can preview your return for free—then follow the final steps to sign the return, pay, and e-file. You can also print a copy of your return afterward to keep for your records.
