2018 Federal Income Tax Forms

Which 2018 Tax Forms Do I File?

If you don't know which federal tax forms to file, start by downloading the 2018 Form 1040 and the 2018 1040 Instructions. The instructions will tell you if you need to file, and, when you need to download additional forms. In general, you will skip the line items that do not apply to you.

Any US resident taxpayer can file Form 1040 for tax year 2018. The short Form 1040A and easy Form 1040EZ have been discontinued by the IRS. Nonresident taxpayers will file the 2018 Form 1040-NR. Commonwealth residents will file either Form 1040-SS or Form 1040-PR.

If you need to amend a federal income tax return, file Form 1040X.

Can I Still File My 2018 Taxes?

Yes, you can still file a 2018 tax return. You generally have up to three years to claim a federal income tax refund. After three years the IRS simply won't pay you the refund. If you are owed a refund, you will not be charged a late filing penalty.

If you can't afford to pay the back taxes you owe, ask the IRS for a reduction due to a hardship and create a payment schedule. See the 2018 Form 1040 instructions booklet below for more information about late filing penalties and how to request a payment schedule.
