2024 1040TT Booklet

What Is Instructions Booklet 1040TT?

Booklet 1040TT contains the 2024 Tax And Earned Income Credit Tables used to calculate income tax due on federal Form 1040 and Form 1040-SR. Instructions booklet 1040TT does not contain any income tax forms.

Keep in mind that these same federal income tax tables can be found inside the Form 1040 Instructions and Form 1040-SR Instructions booklets. The difference is the ability to quickly navigate the 26 page 1040TT PDF file versus the larger Form 1040 Instructions which are generally over 100 pages long. The 1040 tax tables inside the Form 1040 instructions are found near the end of the booklet.

The disadvantage of using the 1040TT instructions is that it often omits topics of interest such as the federal income tax rates and brackets for the current year. Such tax rate schedules printed inside the Form 1040 Instructions show which rate applies at each level of taxable income. You do not use the tax rate schedules or tax brackets to calculate your tax due amount.

Who Must Use The 1040TT Booklet?

• See the instructions for 1040 line 16 to determine if you must use the tax table to calculate the amount of income tax due.
