Account blocked

1040.com is meant for individual taxpayers to use to prepare their own tax returns. This is why we limit the number of returns that can be filed from a single computer. If we can verify that the computer is in a public place, such as a public library, we will consider relaxing the policy for that specific computer.

Merge two accounts

It is not possible to merge two accounts.

Locate my return

If you do not see your current return under My Account, make sure you are using the correct username when logging in. 1040.com allows up to five accounts (usernames) to be associated with a single email address.

Import data from another site

You cannot import tax data from another website or account. You must manually enter all necessary data where needed.

If you used 1040.com last year, we will auto-fill as much information as possible following federal and state guidelines.
