Form 1040 — 2025 tax return

Enter the amounts from your completed return. We prepare and package your Form 1040 for filing — we don't calculate the tax for you yet, so the figures you enter are the ones we use.

Is this return new, or does it change one you already filed?

An amended return is your whole return again, every line as it should have been, with Form 1040-X showing what changed (Instructions for Form 1040-X). You fill it in here exactly as you would a new return; the next page takes the return as you filed it.

Form 1040-X is filed electronically for a Form 1040, 1040-SR or 1040-NR; a separate one for each year amended. In general a joint return cannot be changed to married filing separately after the due date. An amended return is generally filed within 3 years after the original return was filed or within 2 years after the tax was paid, whichever is later; processing takes up to 16 weeks. A Form 1040-X in response to an IRS notice is filed on paper, to the address in the notice (Instructions for Form 1040-X, Rev. December 2025).

What is your filing status?

This files a 2025 federal return: an original, or, as chosen above, an amended or superseding one with Form 1040-X. A nonresident's Form 1040-NR and a territory resident's Form 1040-SS have their own pages.
