Tax tip

For the tax year 2018, you will need to file using the new Form 1040. Forms 1040A and 1040EZ are no longer available. If you previously filed these forms you will now file Form 1040. The new Form 1040 uses a “building block” approach allowing you to add only the schedules you need to your 2018 federal tax return. If you have a more complicated return, you will need to complete one or more of the new Form 1040 Schedules.

If you filed your federal tax return electronically last year you may not notice any changes, as the tax return preparation software will automatically use your answers to the tax questions to complete the Form 1040 and any needed schedules.
