A Form 1040 is the standard income tax form used by individuals to report their annual income, claim deductions and credits, and calculate the amount of tax owed or the refund due to them.
Any U.S. citizen or resident who earns income during the year and whose gross income reaches the filing threshold ($15,750 for a single filer under 65 or $31,500 for a married couple filing jointly, both under 65, for 2025) must complete Form 1040 to report their earnings, deductions, and credits to the IRS for accurate tax assessment.
Form 1040 is typically due on April 15 each year; if this date falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline moves to the next business day. You can also request an extension for additional filing time, until October 15, though it doesn’t extend the time to pay.
You can file your 1040 Form electronically through IRS Free File or tax software, or by mailing a paper copy to the IRS address for your state; just be sure to keep a copy of your 1040 Form for your records.
Not submitting Form 1040 by the deadline can result in penalties and interest. The IRS may charge a failure-to-file penalty of 5% of the unpaid tax per month, up to 25%, plus interest on any unpaid taxes. Filing on time, even if you can’t pay in full, avoids that penalty and leaves only the 0.5% monthly failure-to-pay penalty.
