IRS Returns: Make Your 1040 Choice!
 There are many types of IRS returns for many kinds of taxpayer situations. Sometimes, a taxpayer is required to fill out one type over another. Other times, taxpayers find that some IRS returns benefit their particular circumstances more than others. Each has its own advantages, but how do you know which IRS returns you should file? This page is a quick guide to choosing from the many IRS returns out there.

1040-ES IRS ReturnsIf you are a self-employed individual, you need to file and pay quarterly estimated taxes. You must pay at least 90% of the tax shown for that particular quarter on last year's tax return. Not filing these IRS returns can lead to underpayment penalties.
1040-X IRS ReturnsIf you wish to amend previously filed IRS returns, you need to file a form 1040-X for each return. You will need to mail each 1040-X form with their respective IRS returns, and other related schedules and forms.
1040-NR & 1040-NREZIf you are a nonresident alien required to file IRS returns, you will either need to file a 1040-NR or a 1040-NREZ. 1040-NREZ IRS returns are the simpler version of 1040-NR IRS returns. The 1040-NREZ requirements are very similar to the ones for the 1040-EZ IRS returns, with only a few additions.
