LESSON 3
Types of tax forms
Recap
You’ll use the 1040 form to declare your taxable income, as well as any taxes you owe the IRS and any refund you expect to receive.
There are multiple versions of the 1040: the 1040-SR, 1040-X and 1040-NR. The right form for you depends on your individual circumstances.
You’ll receive your W-2 and any other forms that report your income — and thus help determine your tax return or balance — in the mail by January 31, 2022.
