Which tax return form is filed by joint filers who have dependents?

Question

(For example the form 1040, 1040A, etc.) Please provide a source if possible.

Answer 1

1040a

Answer 2

1040 or 1040A.  You can't claim dependents on 1040EZ.  That info can be found several places on irs.gov - one is in Publication 17 pages 7-9.

Answer 3

1040

Answer 4

You can file the 1040.  You may or may not have the option of filing the 1040A, but anyone can use the 1040.  You can have income from salaries, dividends, interest, royalties, partnerships, S-Corporations, Trusts, etc. and businesses and farms which you operate and if you have all of these you would be limited to form 1040.

Answer 5

visit IRS website: www.irs.gov

either form can be used, I believe if you have other deductions and schedule to use you would file 1040A
