Affordable Care Act - What You Need To Know Affordable Care Act — What You Need To Know Requirement To Reconcile Advance Payments of the Premium Tax Credit The premium tax credit helps pay premiums for health insurance purchased from the Marketplace. Eligible individuals may have advance payments of the premium tax credit made on their behalf directly to the insurance company. If you or a family member enrolled in health insurance through the Marketplace and advance payments of the premium tax credit were made to your insurance company to reduce your monthly premium payment, you must attach Form 8962 to your return to reconcile (compare) the advance payments with your premium tax credit for the year. The Marketplace is required to send Form 1095-A by January 31, 2023, listing the advance payments and other information you need to complete Form 8962. You will need Form 1095-A from the Marketplace. Complete Form 8962 to claim the credit and to reconcile your advance credit payments. Include Form 8962 with your Form 1040, Form 1040-SR, or Form 1040-NR. (Don’t include Form 1095-A.) Health Coverage Reporting If you or someone in your family was an employee in 2022, the employer may be required to send you a Form 1095-C. Part II of Form 1095-C shows whether your employer offered you health insurance coverage and, if so, information about the offer. You should receive Form 1095-C by early March 2023. This information may be relevant if you purchased health insurance coverage for 2022 through the Health Insurance Marketplace and wish to claim the premium tax credit on Schedule 3, line 9. However, you don’t need to wait to receive this form to file your return. You may rely on other information received from your employer. If you don’t wish to claim the premium tax credit for 2022, you don’t need the information in Part II of Form 1095-C. For more information on who is eligible for the premium tax credit, see the Instructions for Form 8962. Reminder: Health care coverage. If you need health care coverage, go to www.HealthCare.gov to learn about health insurance options for you and your family, how to buy health insurance, and how you might qualify to get financial assistance to buy health insurance.

For 2021, nontaxable amounts of Medicaid waiver payments reported on Form 1040, line 1, were excluded from income on Schedule 1, line 8z.

For 2021, individuals elected to include their nontaxable combat pay in their earned income when figuring the earned income credit (EIC) by reporting it on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 27b. For 2022, they will make this election by reporting nontaxable combat pay on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 1i. Credits for sick and family leave for certain self-employed individuals are not available. Self-employed individuals can no longer claim these credits. Health coverage tax credit is not available. The health coverage tax credit was not extended. The credit is not available after 2021. Credit for child and dependent care expenses. The changes to the credit for child and dependent care expenses implemented by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP), were not extended. For 2022, the credit for the child and dependent care expenses is nonrefundable. The dollar limit on qualifying expenses is $3,000 for one qualifying person and $6,000 for two or more qualifying persons. The maximum credit amount allowed is 35% of your employment-related expenses. For more information, see the Instructions for Form 2441 and Pub. 503. Child tax credit and additional child tax credit. Many changes to the child tax credit (CTC) implemented by ARP were not extended. For 2022, The initial credit amount of the CTC is $2,000 for each qualifying child. The amount of CTC that can be claimed as a refundable credit is limited as it was in 2020, except the maximum additional child tax credit (ACTC) amount has increased to $1,500 for each qualifying child. A child must be under age 17 at the end of 2022 to be a qualifying child. Bona fide residents of Puerto Rico are no longer required to have three or more qualifying children to be eligible to claim the ACTC. Bona fide residents of Puerto Rico may be eligible to claim the ACTC if they have one or more qualifying children. For more information, see the Instructions for Schedule 8812 (Form 1040). Changes to the earned income credit (EIC). The enhancements for taxpayers without a qualifying child that applied for 2021 don’t apply for 2022. This means, to claim the EIC without a qualifying child in 2022 you must be at least age 25 but under age 65 at the end of 2022. If you are married and filing a joint return, either you or your spouse must be at least age 25 but under age 65 at the end of 2022. It doesn’t matter which spouse meets the age requirement, as long as one of the spouses does. Reporting requirements for Form 1099-K. Form 1099-K is issued by third party settlement organizations and credit card companies to report payment transactions made to you for goods and services. You must report all income on your tax return unless excluded by law, whether you received the income electronically or not, and whether you received a Form 1099-K or not. The box 1a and other amounts reported on Form 1099-K are additional pieces of information to help determine the correct amounts to report on your return. If you received a Form 1099-K that shows payments you didn’t receive or is otherwise incorrect, contact the Form 1099-K issuer. Don’t contact the IRS; the IRS can’t correct an incorrect Form 1099-K.

Premium tax credit. Credits for sick and family leave. See Pub. 501 for details. Also see Pub. 501 if you do not have to file but received a Form 1099-B (or substitute statement). Requirement to reconcile advance payments of the premium tax credit. If you, your spouse with whom you are filing a joint return, or a dependent was enrolled in coverage through the Marketplace for 2022 and advance payments of the premium tax credit were made for this coverage, you must file a 2022 return and attach Form 8962. You (or whoever enrolled you) should have received Form 1095-A from the Marketplace with information about your coverage and any advance payments. You must attach Form 8962 even if someone else enrolled you, your spouse, or your dependent. If you are a dependent who is claimed on someone else's 2022 return, you do not have to attach Form 8962. Exception for certain children under age 19 or full-time students. If certain conditions apply, you can elect to include on your return the income of a child who was under age 19 at the end of 2022 or was a full-time student under age 24 at the end of 2022. To do so, use Form 8814. If you make this election, your child doesn't have to file a return. For details, use Tax Topic 553 or see Form 8814. A child born on January 1, 1999, is considered to be age 24 at the end of 2022. Do not use Form 8814 for such a child. Resident aliens. These rules also apply if you were a resident alien. Also, you may qualify for certain tax treaty benefits. See Pub. 519 for details. Nonresident aliens and dual-status aliens. These rules also apply if you were a nonresident alien or a dual-status alien and both of the following apply. You were married to a U.S. citizen or resident alien at the end of 2022. You elected to be taxed as a resident alien. See Pub. 519 for details. Specific rules apply to determine if you are a resident alien, nonresident alien, or dual-status alien. Most nonresident aliens and dual-status aliens have different filing requirements and may have to file Form 1040-NR. Pub. 519 discusses these requirements and other information to help aliens comply with U.S. tax law. When and Where Should You File? File Form 1040 or 1040-SR by April 18, 2023. The due date is April 18, instead of April 15, because of the Emancipation Day holiday in the District of Columbia – even if you don’t live in the District of Columbia. If you file after this date, you may have to pay interest and penalties. See Interest and Penalties, later. If you were serving in, or in support of, the U.S. Armed Forces in a designated combat zone or contingency operation, you may be able to file later. See Pub. 3 for details. If you e-file your return, there is no need to mail it. However, if you choose to mail it instead, filing instructions and addresses are at the end of these instructions. The chart at the end of these instructions provides the current address for mailing your return. Use these addresses for Forms 1040 or 1040-SR filed in 2023. The address for returns filed after 2023 may be different. See IRS.gov/Form1040 for any updates. What if You Can't File on Time? You can get an automatic 6-month extension if, no later than the date your return is due, you file Form 4868. For details, see Form 4868. Instead of filing Form 4868, you can apply for an automatic extension by making an electronic payment by the due date of your return. An automatic 6-month extension to file doesn't extend the time to pay your tax. If you don’t pay your tax by the original due date of your return, you will owe interest on the unpaid tax and may owe penalties. See Form 4868. If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, you may qualify for an automatic extension of time to file without filing Form 4868. You qualify if, on the due date of your return, you meet one of the following conditions. You live outside the United States and Puerto Rico and your main place of business or post of duty is outside the United States and Puerto Rico. You are in military or naval service on duty outside the United States and Puerto Rico. This extension gives you an extra 2 months to file and pay the tax, but interest will be charged from the original due date of the return on any unpaid tax. You must include a statement showing that you meet the requirements. If you are still unable to file your return by the end of the 2-month period, you can get an additional 4 months if, no later than June 15, 2023, you file Form 4868. This 4-month extension of time to file doesn't extend the time to pay your tax. See Form 4868. Private Delivery Services If you choose to mail your return, you can use certain private delivery services designated by the IRS to meet the “timely mailing treated as timely filing/paying” rule for tax returns and payments. These private delivery services include only the following. DHL Express 9:00, DHL Express 10:30, DHL Express 12:00, DHL Express Worldwide, DHL Express Envelope, DHL Import Express 10:30, DHL Import Express 12:00, and DHL Import Express Worldwide. UPS Next Day Air Early A.M., UPS Next Day Air, UPS Next Day Air Saver, UPS 2nd Day Air, UPS 2nd Day Air A.M., UPS Worldwide Express Plus, and UPS Worldwide Express.

If (a) or (b) applies, see the instructions for lines 6a and 6b to figure the taxable part of social security benefits you must include in gross income. Gross income includes gains, but not losses, reported on Form 8949 or Schedule D. Gross income from a business means, for example, the amount on Schedule C, line 7, or Schedule F, line 9. But, in figuring gross income, don’t reduce your income by any losses, including any loss on Schedule C, line 7, or Schedule F, line 9. ***If you didn't live with your spouse at the end of 2022 (or on the date your spouse died) and your gross income was at least $5, you must file a return regardless of your age.

Free File makes available free brand-name software and free e-file. Visit IRS.gov/FreeFile for details and to see if you are eligible. What form to file. Everyone can file Form 1040. Form 1040-SR is available to you if you were born before January 2, 1958. Fiscal year filers. If you are a fiscal year filer using a tax year other than January 1 through December 31, 2022, write “Tax Year” and the beginning and ending months of your fiscal year in the top margin of page 1 of Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Write-in information. If you need to write a word, code, and/or dollar amount on Form 1040 or 1040-SR to explain an item of income or deduction, but don't have enough space to enter the word, code, and/or dollar amount, you can put an asterisk next to the applicable line number and put a footnote at the bottom of page 2 of your tax return indicating the line number and the word, code, and/or dollar amount you need to enter. Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code. Filing Status Check only the filing status that applies to you. The ones that will usually give you the lowest tax are listed last. Married filing separately. Single. Head of household. Married filing jointly. Qualifying surviving spouse. For information about marital status, see Pub. 501. More than one filing status can apply to you. You can choose the one that will give you the lowest tax. Single You can check the “Single” box at the top of Form 1040 or 1040-SR if any of the following was true on December 31, 2022. You were never married. You were legally separated according to your state law under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance. But if, at the end of 2022, your divorce wasn't final (an interlocutory decree), you are considered married and can't check the box. You were widowed before January 1, 2022, and didn't remarry before the end of 2022. But if you have a child, you may be able to use the qualifying surviving spouse filing status. See the instructions for Qualifying Surviving Spouse, later. Married Filing Jointly You can check the “Married filing jointly” box at the top of Form 1040 or 1040-SR if any of the following apply. You were married at the end of 2022, even if you didn't live with your spouse at the end of 2022. Your spouse died in 2022 and you didn't remarry in 2022. You were married at the end of 2022 and your spouse died in 2023 before filing a 2022 return. A married couple filing jointly report their combined income and deduct their combined allowable expenses on one return. They can file a joint return even if only one had income or if they didn't live together all year. However, both persons must sign the return. Once you file a joint return, you can't choose to file separate returns for that year after the due date of the return. Joint and several tax liability. If you file a joint return, both you and your spouse are generally responsible for the tax and interest or penalties due on the return. This means that if one spouse doesn't pay the tax due, the other may have to. Or, if one spouse doesn't report the correct tax, both spouses may be responsible for any additional taxes assessed by the IRS. You may want to file separately if: You believe your spouse isn't reporting all of their income, or You don’t want to be responsible for any taxes due if your spouse doesn't have enough tax withheld or doesn't pay enough estimated tax. See the instructions for Married Filing Separately. Also see Innocent Spouse Relief under General Information, later. Nonresident aliens and dual-status aliens. Generally, a married couple can't file a joint return if either spouse is a nonresident alien at any time during the year. However, if you were a nonresident alien or a dual-status alien and were married to a U.S. citizen or resident alien at the end of 2022, you can elect to be treated as a resident alien and file a joint return. See Pub. 519 for details. Married Filing Separately Check the “Married filing separately” box at the top of Form 1040 or 1040-SR if you are married, at the end of 2022, and file a separate return. Enter your spouse’s name in the entry space below the filing status checkboxes. Be sure to enter your spouse’s SSN or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) in the space for spouse’s SSN on Form 1040 or 1040-SR. If your spouse doesn’t have and isn’t required to have an SSN or ITIN, enter “NRA” in the entry space below the filing status checkboxes. For electronic filing, enter the spouse's name or “NRA” if the spouse doesn’t have an SSN or ITIN in the entry space below the filing status checkboxes. If you are married and file a separate return, you generally report only your own income, deductions, and credits. Generally, you are responsible only for the tax on your own income. Different rules apply to people in community property states; see Pub. 555. However, you will usually pay more tax than if you use another filing status for which you qualify. Also, if you file a separate return, you can't take the student loan interest deduction or the education credits, and you will only be able to take the earned income credit and child and dependent care credit in very limited circumstances. You also can't take the standard deduction if your spouse itemizes deductions. You may be able to file as head of household if you had a child living with you and you lived apart from your spouse during the last 6 months of 2022. See Married persons who live apart, later. Head of Household You can check the “Head of household” box at the top of Form 1040 or 1040-SR if you are unmarried and provide a home for certain other persons. You are considered unmarried for this purpose if any of the following applies. You were legally separated according to your state law under a decree of divorce or separate maintenance at the end of 2022. But if, at the end of 2022, your divorce wasn't final (an interlocutory decree), you are considered married. You are married but lived apart from your spouse for the last 6 months of 2022 and you meet the other rules under Married persons who live apart, later. You are married and your spouse was a nonresident alien at any time during the year and the election to treat the alien spouse as a resident alien is not made. Check the “Head of household” box only if you are unmarried (or considered unmarried) and either Test 1 or Test 2 applies. Test 1. You paid over half the cost of keeping up a home that was the main home for all of 2022 of your parent whom you can claim as a dependent, except under a multiple support agreement (see Who Qualifies as Your Dependent, later). Your parent didn't have to live with you. Test 2. You paid over half the cost of keeping up a home in which you lived and in which one of the following also lived for more than half of the year (if half or less, see Exception to time lived with you, later). Any person whom you can claim as a dependent. But don’t include: Your child whom you claim as your dependent because of the rule for Children of divorced or separated parents under Who Qualifies as Your Dependent, later; Any person who is your dependent only because the person lived with you for all of 2022; or Any person you claimed as a dependent under a multiple support agreement. See Who Qualifies as Your Dependent, later. Your unmarried qualifying child who isn't your dependent. Your married qualifying child who isn't your dependent only because you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's 2022 return. Your qualifying child who, even though you are the custodial parent, isn't your dependent because of the rule for Children of divorced or separated parents under Who Qualifies as Your Dependent, later. If the child isn't claimed as your dependent, enter the child's name in the entry space below the filing status checkboxes. If you don’t enter the name, it will take us longer to process your return. Qualifying child. To find out if someone is your qualifying child, see Step 1 under Who Qualifies as Your Dependent, later. Dependent. To find out if someone is your dependent, see Who Qualifies as Your Dependent, later. The dependents you claim are those you list by name and SSN in the Dependents section on Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Exception to time lived with you. Temporary absences by you or the other person for special circumstances, such as school, vacation, business, medical care, military service, or detention in a juvenile facility, count as time lived in the home. Also see Kidnapped child, later, under Who Qualifies as Your Dependent, if applicable. If the person for whom you kept up a home was born or died in 2022, you still may be able to file as head of household. If the person is your qualifying child, the child must have lived with you for more than half the part of the year the child was alive. If the person is anyone else, see Pub. 501. Similarly, if you adopted the person for whom you kept up a home in 2022, the person was lawfully placed with you for legal adoption by you in 2022, or the person was an eligible foster child placed with you during 2022, the person is considered to have lived with you for more than half of 2022 if your main home was this person’s main home for more than half the time since the person was adopted or placed with you in 2022. Keeping up a home. To find out what is included in the cost of keeping up a home, see Pub. 501. Married persons who live apart. Even if you weren’t divorced or legally separated at the end of 2022, you are considered unmarried if all of the following apply. You lived apart from your spouse for the last 6 months of 2022. Temporary absences for special circumstances, such as for business, medical care, school, or military service, count as time lived in the home. You file a separate return from your spouse. You paid over half the cost of keeping up your home for 2022. Your home was the main home of your child, stepchild, or foster child for more than half of 2022 (if half or less, see Exception to time lived with you, earlier). You can claim this child as your dependent or could claim the child except that the child's other parent can claim the child under the rule for Children of divorced or separated parents under Who Qualifies as Your Dependent, later. Adopted child. An adopted child is always treated as your own child. An adopted child includes a child lawfully placed with you for legal adoption. Foster child. A foster child is any child placed with you by an authorized placement agency or by judgment, decree, or other order of any court of competent jurisdiction. Qualifying Surviving Spouse You can check the “Qualifying surviving spouse” box at the top of Form 1040 or 1040-SR and use joint return tax rates for 2022 if all of the following apply. Your spouse died in 2020 or 2021 and you didn't remarry before the end of 2022. You have a child or stepchild (not a foster child) whom you can claim as a dependent or could claim as a dependent except that, for 2022: The child had gross income of $4,400 or more, The child filed a joint return, or You could be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. If the child isn’t claimed as your dependent, enter the child’s name in the entry space below the filing status checkboxes. If you don’t enter the name, it will take us longer to process your return. This child lived in your home for all of 2022. If the child didn't live with you for the required time, see Exception to time lived with you, later. You paid over half the cost of keeping up your home. You could have filed a joint return with your spouse the year your spouse died, even if you didn't actually do so. If your spouse died in 2022, you can't file as qualifying surviving spouse. Instead, see the instructions for Married Filing Jointly, earlier. Adopted child. An adopted child is always treated as your own child. An adopted child includes a child lawfully placed with you for legal adoption. Dependent. To find out if someone is your dependent, see Who Qualifies as Your Dependent, later. The dependents you claim are those you list by name and SSN in the Dependents section on Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Exception to time lived with you. Temporary absences by you or the child for special circumstances, such as school, vacation, business, medical care, military service, or detention in a juvenile facility, count as time lived in the home. Also see Kidnapped child, later, under Who Qualifies as Your Dependent, if applicable. A child is considered to have lived with you for all of 2022 if the child was born or died in 2022 and your home was the child's home for the entire time the child was alive. Similarly, if you adopted the child in 2022, or the child was lawfully placed with you for legal adoption by you in 2022, the child is considered to have lived with you for all of 2022 if your main home was this child's main home for the entire time since the child was adopted or placed with you in 2022. Keeping up a home. To find out what is included in the cost of keeping up a home, see Pub. 501. Name and Address Print or type the information in the spaces provided. If you are married filing a separate return, enter your spouse's name in the entry space below the filing status checkboxes instead of below your name. If you filed a joint return for 2021 and you are filing a joint return for 2022 with the same spouse, be sure to enter your names and SSNs in the same order as on your 2021 return. Name Change If you changed your name because of marriage, divorce, etc., be sure to report the change to the Social Security Administration (SSA) before filing your return. This prevents delays in processing your return and issuing refunds. It also safeguards your future social security benefits. Address Change If you plan to move after filing your return, use Form 8822 to notify the IRS of your new address. P.O. Box Enter your box number only if your post office doesn't deliver mail to your home. Foreign Address If you have a foreign address, enter the city name on the appropriate line. Don’t enter any other information on that line, but also complete the spaces below that line. Don’t abbreviate the country name. Follow the country’s practice for entering the postal code and the name of the province, county, or state. Death of a Taxpayer See Death of a Taxpayer under General Information, later. Social Security Number (SSN) An incorrect or missing SSN can increase your tax, reduce your refund, or delay your refund. To apply for an SSN, fill in Form SS-5 and return it, along with the appropriate evidence documents, to the Social Security Administration (SSA). You can get Form SS-5 online at SSA.gov/forms/ss-5.pdf, from your local SSA office, or by calling the SSA at 800-772-1213. It usually takes about 2 weeks to get an SSN once the SSA has all the evidence and information it needs. Check that both the name and SSN on your Forms 1040 or 1040-SR, W-2, and 1099 agree with your social security card. If they don’t, certain deductions and credits on Form 1040 or 1040-SR may be reduced or disallowed and you may not receive credit for your social security earnings. If your Form W-2 shows an incorrect SSN or name, notify your employer or the form-issuing agent as soon as possible to make sure your earnings are credited to your social security record. If the name or SSN on your social security card is incorrect, call the SSA. Once you are issued an SSN, use it to file your tax return. Use your SSN to file your tax return even if your SSN does not authorize employment or if you have been issued an SSN that authorizes employment and you lose your employment authorization. An ITIN will not be issued to you once you have been issued an SSN. If you received your SSN after previously using an ITIN, stop using your ITIN. Use your SSN instead. IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) for Aliens If you are a nonresident or resident alien and you don’t have and aren’t eligible to get an SSN, you must apply for an ITIN. It takes about 7 weeks to get an ITIN. If you already have an ITIN, enter it wherever your SSN is requested on your tax return. Some ITINs must be renewed. If you haven't used your ITIN on a federal tax return at least once for tax years 2019, 2020, or 2021, it expired at the end of 2022 and must be renewed if you need to file a federal tax return in 2023. You don't need to renew your ITIN if you don't need to file a federal tax return. You can find more information at IRS.gov/ITIN. ITINs assigned before 2013 have expired and must be renewed if you need to file a tax return in 2023. If you previously submitted a renewal application and it was approved, you do not need to renew again unless you haven't used your ITIN on a federal tax return at least once for tax years 2019, 2020, or 2021. An ITIN is for tax use only. It doesn't entitle you to social security benefits or change your employment or immigration status under U.S. law. For more information on ITINs, including application, expiration, and renewal, see Form W-7 and its instructions. If you receive an SSN after previously using an ITIN, stop using your ITIN. Use your SSN instead. Visit a local IRS office or write a letter to the IRS explaining that you now have an SSN and want all your tax records combined under your SSN. Details about what to include with the letter and where to mail it are at IRS.gov/ITIN. Nonresident Alien Spouse If your spouse is a nonresident alien, your spouse must have either an SSN or an ITIN if: You file a joint return, or Your spouse is filing a separate return. Presidential Election Campaign Fund This fund helps pay for Presidential election campaigns. The fund reduces candidates' dependence on large contributions from individuals and groups and places candidates on an equal financial footing in the general election. The fund also helps pay for pediatric medical research. If you want $3 to go to this fund, check the box. If you are filing a joint return, your spouse can also have $3 go to the fund. If you check a box, your tax or refund won't change. Digital Assets Digital assets are any digital representations of value that are recorded on a cryptographically secured distributed ledger or any similar technology. For example, digital assets include non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and virtual currencies, such as cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. If a particular asset has the characteristics of a digital asset, it will be treated as a digital asset for federal income tax purposes. Check the “Yes” box next to the question on digital assets on page 1 of Form 1040 or 1040-SR if at any time during 2022, you (a) received (as a reward, award, or payment for property or services); or (b) sold, exchanged, gifted, or otherwise disposed of a digital asset (or any financial interest in any digital asset). For example, check “Yes” if at any time during 2022 you: Received digital assets as payment for property or services provided; Received digital assets as a result of a reward or award; Received new digital assets as a result of mining, staking, and similar activities; Received digital assets as a result of a hard fork; Disposed of digital assets in exchange for property or services; Disposed of a digital asset in exchange or trade for another digital asset; Sold a digital asset; Transferred digital assets for free (without receiving any consideration) as a bona fide gift; or Otherwise disposed of any other financial interest in a digital asset. You have a financial interest in a digital asset if you are the owner of record of a digital asset, or have an ownership stake in an account that holds one or more digital assets, including the rights and obligations to acquire a financial interest, or you own a wallet that holds digital assets. The following actions or transactions in 2022, alone, generally don’t require you to check “Yes”: Holding a digital asset in a wallet or account; Transferring a digital asset from one wallet or account you own or control to another wallet or account that you own or control; or Purchasing digital assets using U.S. or other real currency, including through the use of electronic platforms such as PayPal and Venmo. Do not leave the question unanswered. You must answer “Yes” or “No” by checking the appropriate box. For more information, go to IRS.gov/virtualcurrencyfaqs. How To Report Digital Asset Transactions If, in 2022, you disposed of any digital asset, which you held as a capital asset, through a sale, trade, exchange, payment, gift, or other transfer, check “Yes” and use (a) Form 8949 to calculate your capital gain or loss and report that gain or loss on Schedule D (Form 1040) or (b) Form 709 in the case of gifts. If you received any digital asset as compensation for services or disposed of any digital asset that you held for sale to customers in a trade or business, you must report the income as you would report other income of the same type (for example, W-2 wages on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 1a, or inventory or services on Schedule C). Standard Deduction If you are filing Form 1040-SR, you can find a Standard Deduction Chart on the last page of that form that can calculate the amount of your standard deduction in most situations. Don’t file the Standard Deduction Chart with your return. Single and Married Filing Jointly If you or your spouse (if you are married and filing a joint return) can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return, check the appropriate box in the Standard Deduction section. If you were a dual-status alien, check the “Spouse itemizes on a separate return or you were a dual-status alien” box. If you were a dual-status alien and you file a joint return with your spouse who was a U.S. citizen or resident alien at the end of 2022 and you and your spouse agree to be taxed on your combined worldwide income, don’t check the box. Age/Blindness If you or your spouse (if you are married and filing a joint return) were born before January 2, 1958, or were blind at the end of 2022, check the appropriate boxes on the line labeled “Age/Blindness.” Don’t check any boxes for your spouse if your filing status is head of household. Death of spouse in 2022. If your spouse was born before January 2, 1958, but died in 2022 before reaching age 65, don’t check the box that says “Spouse was born before January 2, 1958.” A person is considered to reach age 65 on the day before the person’s 65th birthday. Example. Your spouse was born on February 14, 1957, and died on February 13, 2022. Your spouse is considered age 65 at the time of death. Check the appropriate box for your spouse. However, if your spouse died on February 12, 2022, your spouse isn't considered age 65. Don’t check the box. Death of taxpayer in 2022. If you are preparing a return for someone who died in 2022, see Pub. 501 before completing the standard deduction information. Blindness If you weren’t totally blind as of December 31, 2022, you must get a statement certified by your eye doctor (ophthalmologist or optometrist) that: You can't see better than 20/200 in your better eye with glasses or contact lenses, or Your field of vision is 20 degrees or less. If your eye condition isn't likely to improve beyond the conditions listed above, you can get a statement certified by your eye doctor (ophthalmologist or optometrist) to this effect instead. You must keep the statement for your records. If you receive a notice or letter but you would prefer to have it in Braille or large print, you can use Form 9000, Alternative Media Preference, to request notices in an alternative format including Braille, large print, audio, or electronic. You can attach Form 9000 to your return or mail it separately. You can download, or view online, tax forms and publications in a variety of formats including text-only, Braille ready files, browser-friendly HTML (other than tax forms), accessible PDF, and large print. Married Filing Separately If your filing status is married filing separately and your spouse itemizes deductions on their return, check the “Spouse itemizes on a separate return or you were a dual-status alien” box. If your filing status is married filing separately and your spouse was born before January 2, 1958, or was blind at the end of 2022, you can check the appropriate box(es) on the line labeled “Age/Blindness” if your spouse had no income, isn't filing a return, and can't be claimed as a dependent on another person's return. Who Qualifies as Your Dependent Dependents, Qualifying Child for Child Tax Credit, and Credit for Other Dependents Follow the steps below to find out if a person qualifies as your dependent and to find out if your dependent qualifies you to take the child tax credit or the credit for other dependents. If you have more than four dependents, check the box under Dependents on page 1 of Form 1040 or 1040-SR and include a statement showing the information required in columns (1) through (4). The dependents you claim are those you list by name and SSN in the Dependents section on Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Before you begin. See the definition of Social security number, later. If you want to claim the child tax credit or the credit for other dependents, you (and your spouse if filing jointly) must have an SSN or ITIN issued on or before the due date of your 2022 return (including extensions). If an ITIN is applied for on or before the due date of a 2022 return (including extensions) and the IRS issues an ITIN as result of the application, the IRS will consider the ITIN as issued on or before the due date of the return. Step 1. Do You Have a Qualifying Child? A qualifying child is a child who is your... Son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, brother, sister, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother, half sister, or a descendant of any of them (for example, your grandchild, niece, or nephew) was ...

Son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, or a descendant of any of them (for example, your grandchild) or Brother, sister, half brother, half sister, or a son or daughter of any of them (for example, your niece or nephew) or Father, mother, or an ancestor or sibling of either of them (for example, your grandmother, grandfather, aunt, or uncle) or Stepbrother, stepsister, stepfather, stepmother, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law or Any other person (other than your spouse) who lived with you all year as a member of your household if your relationship didn't violate local law. If the person didn't live with you for the required time, see Exception to time lived with you, later. Who wasn't a qualifying child (see Step 1) of any taxpayer for 2022. For this purpose, a person isn't a taxpayer if the person isn't required to file a U.S. income tax return and either doesn't file such a return or files only to get a refund of withheld income tax or estimated tax paid. See Pub. 501 for details and examples. Who had gross income of less than $4,400 in 2022. If the person was permanently and totally disabled, see Exception to gross income test, later.

Complete columns (1) through (3) of the Dependents section on page 1 of Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Then, go to Step 5. Step 5. Does Your Qualifying Relative Qualify You for the Credit for Other Dependents? 1. Did your qualifying relative have an SSN, ITIN, or ATIN issued on or before the due date of your 2022 return (including extensions)? (Answer “Yes” if you are applying for an ITIN or ATIN for the qualifying relative on or before the return due date (including extensions).) [ ] Yes. [ ] No. You can’t claim the credit for other dependents for this qualifying relative. 2. Was your qualifying relative a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, or U.S. resident alien? (See Pub. 519 for the definition of a U.S. national or a U.S. resident alien. If your qualifying relative was adopted, see Exception to citizenship test, later.) [ ] Yes. You can claim the credit for other dependents for this dependent. Check the “Credit for other dependents” box in column (4) of the Dependents section on page 1 of Form 1040 or 1040-SR for this person. [ ] No. You can’t claim the credit for other dependents for this qualifying relative. Definitions and Special Rules Adopted child. An adopted child is always treated as your own child. An adopted child includes a child lawfully placed with you for legal adoption. Adoption taxpayer identification numbers (ATINs). If you have a dependent who was placed with you for legal adoption and you don’t know the dependent’s SSN, you must get an ATIN for the dependent from the IRS. See Form W-7A for details. If the dependent isn't a U.S. citizen or resident alien, apply for an ITIN instead using Form W-7. Children of divorced or separated parents. A child will be treated as the qualifying child or qualifying relative of the child’s noncustodial parent (defined later) if all of the following conditions apply. The parents are divorced, legally separated, separated under a written separation agreement, or lived apart at all times during the last 6 months of 2022 (whether or not they are or were married). The child received over half of the child’s support for 2022 from the parents (and the rules on Multiple support agreements, later, don’t apply). Support of a child received from a parent's spouse is treated as provided by the parent. The child is in custody of one or both of the parents for more than half of 2022. Either of the following applies. The custodial parent signs Form 8332 or a substantially similar statement that they won't claim the child as a dependent for 2022, and the noncustodial parent includes a copy of the form or statement with their return. If the divorce decree or separation agreement went into effect after 1984 and before 2009, the noncustodial parent may be able to include certain pages from the decree or agreement instead of Form 8332. See Post-1984 and pre-2009 decree or agreement and Post-2008 decree or agreement. A pre-1985 decree of divorce or separate maintenance or written separation agreement between the parents provides that the noncustodial parent can claim the child as a dependent, and the noncustodial parent provides at least $600 for support of the child during 2022. If conditions (1) through (4) apply, only the noncustodial parent can claim the child for purposes of the child tax credits and credit for other dependents (lines 19 and 28). However, this doesn't allow the noncustodial parent to claim head of household filing status, the credit for child and dependent care expenses, the exclusion for dependent care benefits, or the earned income credit. The custodial parent or another taxpayer, if eligible, can claim the child for the earned income credit and these other benefits. See Pub. 501 for details. Custodial and noncustodial parents. The custodial parent is the parent with whom the child lived for the greater number of nights in 2022. The noncustodial parent is the other parent. If the child was with each parent for an equal number of nights, the custodial parent is the parent with the higher adjusted gross income. See Pub. 501 for an exception for a parent who works at night, rules for a child who is emancipated under state law, and other details. Post-1984 and pre-2009 decree or agreement. The decree or agreement must state all three of the following. The noncustodial parent can claim the child as a dependent without regard to any condition, such as payment of support. The other parent won't claim the child as a dependent. The years for which the claim is released. The noncustodial parent must include all of the following pages from the decree or agreement. Cover page (include the other parent's SSN on that page). The pages that include all the information identified in (1) through (3) above. Signature page with the other parent's signature and date of agreement. You must include the required information even if you filed it with your return in an earlier year. Post-2008 decree or agreement. If the divorce decree or separation agreement went into effect after 2008, the noncustodial parent can't include pages from the decree or agreement instead of Form 8332. The custodial parent must sign either Form 8332 or a substantially similar statement the only purpose of which is to release the custodial parent's claim to certain tax benefits for a child, and the noncustodial parent must include a copy with their return. The form or statement must release the custodial parent's claim to the child without any conditions. For example, the release must not depend on the noncustodial parent paying support. Release of certain tax benefits revoked. A custodial parent who has revoked their previous release of a claim to certain tax benefits for a child must include a copy of the revocation with their return. For details, see Form 8332. Exception to citizen test. If you are a U.S. citizen or U.S. national and your adopted child lived with you all year as a member of your household, that child meets the requirement to be a U.S. citizen in Step 2, question 1; Step 3, question 2; Step 4, question 2; and Step 5, question 2. Exception to gross income test. If your relative (including a person who lived with you all year as a member of your household) is permanently and totally disabled (defined later), certain income for services performed at a sheltered workshop may be excluded for this test. For details, see Pub. 501. Exception to time lived with you. Temporary absences by you or the other person for special circumstances, such as school, vacation, business, medical care, military service, or detention in a juvenile facility, count as time the person lived with you. Also see Children of divorced or separated parents, earlier, or Kidnapped child, later. If the person meets all other requirements to be your qualifying child but was born or died in 2022, the person is considered to have lived with you for more than half of 2022 if your home was this person's home for more than half the time the person was alive in 2022. If the person meets all other requirements to be your qualifying child but you adopted the person in 2022, the person was lawfully placed with you for legal adoption by you in 2022, or the person was an eligible foster child placed with you during 2022, the person is considered to have lived with you for more than half of 2022 if your main home was this person's main home for more than half the time since the person was adopted or placed with you in 2022. Any other person is considered to have lived with you for all of 2022 if the person was born or died in 2022 and your home was this person's home for the entire time the person was alive in 2022 or if you adopted the person in 2022, the person was lawfully placed with you for legal adoption by you in 2022, or the person was an eligible foster child placed with you during 2022 and your main home was the person's main home for the entire time since the person was adopted or placed with you in 2022. Foster child. A foster child is any child placed with you by an authorized placement agency or by judgment, decree, or other order of any court of competent jurisdiction. Kidnapped child. If your child is presumed by law enforcement authorities to have been kidnapped by someone who isn't a family member, you may be able to take the child into account in determining your eligibility for head of household or qualifying surviving spouse filing status, the child tax credit, the credit for other dependents, and the earned income credit (EIC). For details, see Pub. 501 (Pub. 596 for the EIC). Married person. If the person is married and files a joint return, you can't claim that person as your dependent. However, if the person is married but doesn't file a joint return or files a joint return only to claim a refund of withheld income tax or estimated tax paid, you may be able to claim that person as a dependent. (See Pub. 501 for details and examples.) In that case, go to Step 2, question 3 (for a qualifying child), or Step 4, question 4 (for a qualifying relative). Multiple support agreements. If no one person contributed over half of the support of your relative (or a person who lived with you all year as a member of your household) but you and another person(s) provided more than half of your relative's support, special rules may apply that would treat you as having provided over half of the support. For details, see Pub. 501. Permanently and totally disabled. A person is permanently and totally disabled if, at any time in 2022, the person can't engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a physical or mental condition and a doctor has determined that this condition has lasted or can be expected to last continuously for at least a year or can be expected to lead to death. Public assistance payments. If you received payments under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program or other public assistance program and you used the money to support another person, see Pub. 501. Qualifying child of more than one person. Even if a child meets the conditions to be the qualifying child of more than one person, only one person can claim the child as a qualifying child for all of the following tax benefits, unless the special rule for Children of divorced or separated parents, described earlier, applies. Child tax credit and credit for other dependents (line 19) and additional child tax credit (line 28). Head of household filing status. Credit for child and dependent care expenses (Schedule 3, line 2). Exclusion for dependent care benefits (Form 2441, Part III). Earned income credit (line 27). No other person can take any of the five tax benefits just listed based on the qualifying child. If you and any other person can claim the child as a qualifying child, the following rules apply. For purposes of these rules, the term "parent" means a biological or adoptive parent of an individual. It doesn't include a stepparent or foster parent unless that person has adopted the individual. If only one of the persons is the child's parent, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the parent. If the parents file a joint return together and can claim the child as a qualifying child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the parents. If the parents don’t file a joint return together but both parents claim the child as a qualifying child, the IRS will treat the child as the qualifying child of the parent with whom the child lived for the longer period of time in 2022. If the child lived with each parent for the same amount of time, the IRS will treat the child as the qualifying child of the parent who had the higher adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2022. If no parent can claim the child as a qualifying child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the highest AGI for 2022. If a parent can claim the child as a qualifying child but no parent does so claim the child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the highest AGI for 2022, but only if that person's AGI is higher than the highest AGI of any parent of the child who can claim the child. Example. Your child, J, meets the conditions to be a qualifying child for both you and your parent. J doesn't meet the conditions to be a qualifying child of any other person, including J’s other parent. Under the rules just described, you can claim J as a qualifying child for all of the five tax benefits just listed for which you otherwise qualify. Your parent can't claim any of those five tax benefits based on J. However, if your parent’s AGI is higher than yours and you do not claim J as a qualifying child, J is the qualifying child of your parent. For more details and examples, see Pub. 501. If you will be claiming the child as a qualifying child, go to Step 2. Otherwise, stop; you can't claim any benefits based on this child. Social security number. You must enter each dependent's social security number (SSN). Be sure the name and SSN entered agree with the dependent's social security card. Otherwise, at the time we process your return, we may reduce or disallow any tax benefits (such as the child tax credit) based on that dependent. If the name or SSN on the dependent's social security card isn't correct or you need to get an SSN for your dependent, contact the Social Security Administration (SSA). See Social Security Number (SSN), earlier. If your dependent won't have a number by the date your return is due, see What if You Can't File on Time? earlier. For the child tax credit, your child must have the required SSN. The required SSN is one that is valid for employment and that is issued by the SSA before the due date of your 2022 return (including extensions). If your child was a U.S. citizen when the child received the SSN, the SSN is valid for employment. If “Not Valid for Employment” is printed on your child’s social security card and your child’s immigration status has changed so that your child is now a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, ask the SSA for a new social security card without the legend. However, if “Valid for Work Only With DHS Authorization” is printed on your child’s social security card, your child has the required SSN only as long as the DHS authorization is valid. If your dependent child was born and died in 2022 and you do not have an SSN for the child, enter “Died” in column (2) of the Dependents section and include a copy of the child's birth certificate, death certificate, or hospital records. The document must show the child was born alive. If you, or your spouse if filing jointly, didn't have an SSN (or ITIN) issued on or before the due date of your 2022 return (including extensions), you can't claim the child tax credit or the credit for other dependents on your original or an amended 2022 return. If you apply for an ITIN on or before the due date of your 2022 return (including extensions) and the IRS issues you an ITIN as a result of the application, the IRS will consider your ITIN as issued on or before the due date of your return. Student. A student is a child who during any part of 5 calendar months of 2022 was enrolled as a full-time student at a school or took a full-time, on-farm training course given by a school or a state, county, or local government agency. A school includes a technical, trade, or mechanical school. It doesn't include an on-the-job training course, correspondence school, or school offering courses only through the Internet. Income Generally, you must report all income except income that is exempt from tax by law. For details, see the following instructions and the Schedule 1 instructions, especially the instructions for lines 1 through 7 and Schedule 1, lines 1 through 8z. Also see Pub. 525. Forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loans The forgiveness of a PPP Loan creates tax-exempt income, so although you don’t need to report the income from the forgiveness of your PPP Loan on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, you do need to report certain information related to your PPP Loan. Rev. Proc. 2021-48, 2021-49 I.R.B. 835, permits taxpayers to treat tax-exempt income resulting from the forgiveness of a PPP Loan as received or accrued: (1) as, and to the extent that, eligible expenses are paid or incurred; (2) when you apply for forgiveness of the PPP Loan; or (3) when forgiveness of the PPP Loan is granted. If you have tax-exempt income resulting from the forgiveness of a PPP Loan, attach a statement to your return reporting each taxable year for which you are applying Rev. Proc. 2021-48, and which section of Rev. Proc. 2021-48 you are applying—either section 3.01(1), (2), or (3). Any statement should include the following information for each PPP Loan: Your name, address, and ITIN or SSN; A statement that you are applying or applied section 3.01(1), (2), or (3) of Rev. Proc. 2021-48, and for what taxable year; The amount of tax-exempt income from forgiveness of the PPP Loan that you are treating as received or accrued and for what taxable year; and Whether forgiveness of the PPP Loan has been granted as of the date you file your return. Write “RP2021-48” at the top of your attached statement. Foreign-Source Income You must report unearned income, such as interest, dividends, and pensions, from sources outside the United States unless exempt by law or a tax treaty. You must also report earned income, such as wages and tips, from sources outside the United States. If you worked abroad, you may be able to exclude part or all of your foreign earned income. For details, see Pub. 54 and Form 2555. Foreign retirement plans. If you were a beneficiary of a foreign retirement plan, you may have to report the undistributed income earned in your plan. However, if you were the beneficiary of a Canadian registered retirement plan, see Rev. Proc. 2014-55, 2014-44 I.R.B. 753, available at IRS.gov/irb/2014-44_IRB#RP-2014-55, to find out if you can elect to defer tax on the undistributed income. Report distributions from foreign pension plans on lines 5a and 5b. Foreign accounts and trusts. You must complete Part III of Schedule B if you: Had a foreign account; or Received a distribution from, or were a grantor of, or a transferor to, a foreign trust. Foreign financial assets. If you had foreign financial assets in 2022, you may have to file Form 8938. See Form 8938 and its instructions. Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Cases If you are a debtor in a chapter 11 bankruptcy case, income taxable to the bankruptcy estate and reported on the estate's income tax return includes: Earnings from services you performed after the beginning of the case (both wages and self-employment income); and Income from property described in section 541 of title 11 of the U.S. Code that you either owned when the case began or that you acquired after the case began and before the case was closed, dismissed, or converted to a case under a different chapter. Because this income is taxable to the estate, don’t include this income on your own individual income tax return. The only exception is for purposes of figuring your self-employment tax. For that purpose, you must take into account all your self-employment income for the year from services performed both before and after the beginning of the case. Also, you (or the trustee if one is appointed) must allocate between you and the bankruptcy estate the wages, salary, or other compensation and withheld income tax reported to you on Form W-2. A similar allocation is required for income and withheld income tax reported to you on Forms 1099. You must also include a statement that indicates you filed a chapter 11 case and that explains how income and withheld income tax reported to you on Forms W-2 and 1099 are allocated between you and the estate. For more details, including acceptable allocation methods, see Notice 2006-83, 2006-40 I.R.B. 596, available atIRS.gov/irb/2006-40_IRB#NOT-2006-83. Community Property States Community property states include Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. If you and your spouse lived in a community property state, you must usually follow state law to determine what is community income and what is separate income. For details, see Form 8958 and Pub. 555. Nevada, Washington, and California domestic partners. A registered domestic partner in Nevada, Washington, or California must generally report half the combined community income of the individual and their domestic partner. See Form 8958 and Pub. 555. Rounding Off to Whole Dollars You can round off cents to whole dollars on your return and schedules. If you do round to whole dollars, you must round all amounts. To round, drop amounts under 50 cents and increase amounts from 50 to 99 cents to the next dollar. For example, $1.39 becomes $1 and $2.50 becomes $3. If you have to add two or more amounts to figure the amount to enter on a line, include cents when adding the amounts and round off only the total. If you are entering amounts that include cents, make sure to include the decimal point. There is no cents column on the form. The lines on Forms 1040 and 1040-SR are the same. References to lines in the following instructions refer to the line on either form. Line 1a Total Amount From Form(s) W-2, Box 1 Enter the total amount from Form(s) W-2, box 1. If a joint return, also include your spouse's income from Form(s) W-2, box 1. If you earned wages while you were an inmate in a penal institution, you will now report these amounts on Schedule 1, line 8u. Do not report those wages on line 1a. See the instructions for Schedule 1, line 8u. If you received a pension or annuity from a nonqualified deferred compensation plan or a nongovernmental section 457(b) plan and it was reported in box 1 of Form W-2, do not include this amount on Form 1040, line 1a. This amount is reported on Schedule 1, line 8t. Line 1b Household Employee Wages Not Reported on Form(s) W-2 Enter the total of your wages received as a household employee that was not reported on Form(s) W-2. An employer isn’t required to provide a Form W-2 to you if they paid you wages of less than $2,400 in 2022. For information on employment taxes for household employees, see Tax Topic 756. Line 1c Tip Income Not Reported on Line 1a Enter the total of your tip income that was not reported on Form 1040, line 1a. This should include any tip income you didn’t report to your employer and any allocated tips shown in box 8 on your Form(s) W-2 unless you can prove that your unreported tips are less than the amount in box 8. Allocated tips aren't included as income in box 1. See Pub. 531 for more details. Also include the value of any noncash tips you received, such as tickets, passes, or other items of value. Although you don’t report these noncash tips to your employer, you must report them on line 1c. You may owe social security and Medicare or railroad retirement (RRTA) tax on unreported tips. See the instructions for Schedule 2, line 5. Line 1d Medicaid Waiver Payments Not Reported on Form(s) W-2, Box 1 Enter your taxable Medicaid waiver payments that were not reported on Form(s) W-2. Also enter the total of your taxable and nontaxable Medicaid waiver payments that were not reported on Form(s) W-2, or not reported in box 1 of Form(s) W-2, if you choose to include nontaxable payments in earned income for purposes of claiming a credit or other tax benefit. If you and your spouse both received nontaxable Medicaid waiver payments during the year, you and your spouse can make different choices about including payments in earned income. See the instructions for Schedule 1, line 8s. Line 1e Taxable Dependent Care Benefits From Form 2441, Line 26 Enter the total of your taxable dependent care benefits from Form 2441, line 26. Dependent care benefits should be shown in box 10 of your Form(s) W-2. But first complete Form 2441 to see if you can exclude part or all of the benefits. Line 1f Employer-Provided Adoption Benefits From Form 8839, Line 29 Enter the total of your employer-provided adoption benefits from Form 8839, line 29. Employer-provided adoption benefits should be shown in box 12 of your Form(s) W-2 with code T. But see the Instructions for Form 8839 to find out if you can exclude part or all of the benefits. You may also be able to exclude amounts if you adopted a child with special needs and the adoption became final in 2022. Line 1g Wages From Form 8919, Line 6 Enter the total of your wages from Form 8919, line 6. Line 1h Other Earned Income If you received scholarship or fellowship grants that were not reported to you on Form W-2, you will now report these amounts on Schedule 1, line 8r. See the instructions for Schedule 1, line 8r. The following types of income must be included in the total on line 1h. Strike or lockout benefits (other than bona fide gifts). Excess elective deferrals. The amount deferred should be shown in box 12 of your Form W-2, and the “Retirement plan” box in box 13 should be checked. If the total amount you (or your spouse if filing jointly) deferred for 2022 under all plans was more than $20,500 (excluding catch-up contributions as explained later), include the excess on line 1h. This limit is (a) $14,000 if you have only SIMPLE plans, or (b) $23,500 for section 403(b) plans if you qualify for the 15-year rule in Pub. 571. Although designated Roth contributions are subject to this limit, don’t include the excess attributable to such contributions on line 1h. They are already included as income in box 1 of your Form W-2. A higher limit may apply to participants in section 457(b) deferred compensation plans for the 3 years before retirement age. Contact your plan administrator for more information. If you were age 50 or older at the end of 2022, your employer may have allowed an additional deferral (catch-up contributions) of up to $6,500 ($3,000 for section 401(k)(11) and SIMPLE plans). This additional deferral amount isn't subject to the overall limit on elective deferrals. You can't deduct the amount deferred. It isn't included as income in box 1 of your Form W-2. Disability pensions shown on Form 1099-R if you haven’t reached the minimum retirement age set by your employer. But see Insurance Premiums for Retired Public Safety Officers in the instructions for lines 5a and 5b. Disability pensions received after you reach minimum retirement age and other payments shown on Form 1099-R (other than payments from an IRA*) are reported on lines 5a and 5b. Payments from an IRA are reported on lines 4a and 4b. Corrective distributions from a retirement plan shown on Form 1099-R of excess elective deferrals and excess contributions (plus earnings). But don’t include distributions from an IRA* on line 1h. Instead, report distributions from an IRA on lines 4a and 4b. *This includes a Roth, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA. Line 1i Nontaxable Combat Pay Election If you elect to include your nontaxable combat pay in your earned income when figuring the EIC, enter the amount on line 1i. See the instructions for line 27. Were You a Statutory Employee? If you were a statutory employee, the “Statutory employee” box in box 13 of your Form W-2 should be checked. Statutory employees include full-time life insurance salespeople and certain agent or commission drivers, certain traveling salespeople, and certain homeworkers. Statutory employees report the amount shown in box 1 of Form W-2 on a Schedule C along with any related business expenses. Missing or Incorrect Form W-2? Your employer is required to provide or send Form W-2 to you no later than January 31, 2023. If you don’t receive it by early February, use Tax Topic 154 to find out what to do. Even if you don’t get a Form W-2, you must still report your earnings. If you lose your Form W-2 or it is incorrect, ask your employer for a new one. Line 2a Tax-Exempt Interest If you received any tax-exempt interest (including any tax-exempt original issue discount (OID)), such as from municipal bonds, each payer should send you a Form 1099-INT or a Form 1099-OID. In general, your tax-exempt stated interest should be shown in box 8 of Form 1099-INT or, for a tax-exempt OID bond, in box 2 of Form 1099-OID, and your tax-exempt OID should be shown in box 11 of Form 1099-OID. Enter the total on line 2a. However, if you acquired a tax-exempt bond at a premium, only report the net amount of tax-exempt interest on line 2a (that is, the excess of the tax-exempt interest received during the year over the amortized bond premium for the year). Also, if you acquired a tax-exempt OID bond at an acquisition premium, only report the net amount of tax-exempt OID on line 2a (that is, the excess of tax-exempt OID for the year over the amortized acquisition premium for the year). See Pub. 550 for more information about OID, bond premium, and acquisition premium. Also include on line 2a any exempt-interest dividends from a mutual fund or other regulated investment company. This amount should be shown in box 12 of Form 1099-DIV. Don’t include interest earned on your IRA, health savings account, Archer or Medicare Advantage MSA, or Coverdell education savings account. Don’t include any amounts related to the forgiveness of PPP Loans on this line. Line 2b Taxable Interest Each payer should send you a Form 1099-INT or Form 1099-OID. Enter your total taxable interest income on line 2b. But you must fill in and attach Schedule B if the total is over $1,500 or any of the other conditions listed at the beginning of the Schedule B instructions applies to you. For more details about reporting taxable interest, including market discount on bonds and adjustments for amortizable bond premium or acquisition premium, see Pub. 550. Interest credited in 2022 on deposits that you couldn't withdraw because of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the financial institution may not have to be included in your 2022 income. For details, see Pub. 550. If you get a 2022 Form 1099-INT for U.S. savings bond interest that includes amounts you reported before 2022, see Pub. 550. Line 3a Qualified Dividends Enter your total qualified dividends on line 3a. Qualified dividends are also included in the ordinary dividend total required to be shown on line 3b. Qualified dividends are eligible for a lower tax rate than other ordinary income. Generally, these dividends are shown in box 1b of Form(s) 1099-DIV. See Pub. 550 for the definition of qualified dividends if you received dividends not reported on Form 1099-DIV. Exception. Some dividends may be reported as qualified dividends in box 1b of Form 1099-DIV but aren't qualified dividends. These include: Dividends you received as a nominee. See the Schedule B instructions. Dividends you received on any share of stock that you held for less than 61 days during the 121-day period that began 60 days before the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date is the first date following the declaration of a dividend on which the purchaser of a stock isn't entitled to receive the next dividend payment. When counting the number of days you held the stock, include the day you disposed of the stock but not the day you acquired it. See the examples that follow. Also, when counting the number of days you held the stock, you can't count certain days during which your risk of loss was diminished. See Pub. 550 for more details. Dividends attributable to periods totaling more than 366 days that you received on any share of preferred stock held for less than 91 days during the 181-day period that began 90 days before the ex-dividend date. When counting the number of days you held the stock, you can't count certain days during which your risk of loss was diminished. See Pub. 550 for more details. Preferred dividends attributable to periods totaling less than 367 days are subject to the 61-day holding period rule just described. Dividends on any share of stock to the extent that you are under an obligation (including a short sale) to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. Payments in lieu of dividends, but only if you know or have reason to know that the payments aren't qualified dividends. Dividends from a corporation that first became a surrogate foreign corporation after December 22, 2017, other than a foreign corporation that is treated as a domestic corporation under section 7874(b). Example 1. You bought 5,000 shares of XYZ Corp. common stock on July 8, 2022. XYZ Corp. paid a cash dividend of 10 cents per share. The ex-dividend date was July 16, 2022. Your Form 1099-DIV from XYZ Corp. shows $500 in box 1a (ordinary dividends) and in box 1b (qualified dividends). However, you sold the 5,000 shares on August 11, 2022. You held your shares of XYZ Corp. for only 34 days of the 121-day period (from July 9, 2022, through August 11, 2022). The 121-day period began on May 17, 2022 (60 days before the ex-dividend date), and ended on September 14, 2022. You have no qualified dividends from XYZ Corp. because you held the XYZ stock for less than 61 days. Example 2. The facts are the same as in Example 1 except that you bought the stock on July 15, 2022 (the day before the ex-dividend date), and you sold the stock on September 16, 2022. You held the stock for 63 days (from July 16, 2022, through September 16, 2022). The $500 of qualified dividends shown in box 1b of Form 1099-DIV are all qualified dividends because you held the stock for 61 days of the 121-day period (from July 16, 2022, through September 14, 2022). Example 3. You bought 10,000 shares of ABC Mutual Fund common stock on July 8, 2022. ABC Mutual Fund paid a cash dividend of 10 cents a share. The ex-dividend date was July 16, 2022. The ABC Mutual Fund advises you that the part of the dividend eligible to be treated as qualified dividends equals 2 cents a share. Your Form 1099-DIV from ABC Mutual Fund shows total ordinary dividends of $1,000 and qualified dividends of $200. However, you sold the 10,000 shares on August 11, 2022. You have no qualified dividends from ABC Mutual Fund because you held the ABC Mutual Fund stock for less than 61 days. Use the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet or the Schedule D Tax Worksheet, whichever applies, to figure your tax. See the instructions for line 16 for details. Line 3b Ordinary Dividends Each payer should send you a Form 1099-DIV. Enter your total ordinary dividends on line 3b. This amount should be shown in box 1a of Form(s) 1099-DIV. You must fill in and attach Schedule B if the total is over $1,500 or you received, as a nominee, ordinary dividends that actually belong to someone else. Nondividend Distributions Some distributions are a return of your cost (or other basis). They won't be taxed until you recover your cost (or other basis). You must reduce your cost (or other basis) by these distributions. After you get back all of your cost (or other basis), you must report these distributions as capital gains on Form 8949. For details, see Pub. 550. Dividends on insurance policies are a partial return of the premiums you paid. Don’t report them as dividends. Include them in income on Schedule 1, line 8z, only if they exceed the total of all net premiums you paid for the contract. Lines 4a and 4b IRA Distributions You should receive a Form 1099-R showing the total amount of any distribution from your IRA before income tax or other deductions were withheld. This amount should be shown in box 1 of Form 1099-R. Unless otherwise noted in the line 4a and 4b instructions, an IRA includes a traditional IRA, Roth IRA, simplified employee pension (SEP) IRA, and a savings incentive match plan for employees (SIMPLE) IRA. Except as provided next, leave line 4a blank and enter the total distribution (from Form 1099-R, box 1) on line 4b. Exception 1. Enter the total distribution on line 4a if you rolled over part or all of the distribution from one: Roth IRA to another Roth IRA, or IRA (other than a Roth IRA) to a qualified plan or another IRA (other than a Roth IRA). Also enter “Rollover” next to line 4b. If the total distribution was rolled over, enter -0- on line 4b. If the total distribution wasn't rolled over, enter the part not rolled over on line 4b unless Exception 2 applies to the part not rolled over. Generally, a rollover must be made within 60 days after the day you received the distribution. For more details on rollovers, see Pub. 590-A and Pub. 590-B. If you rolled over the distribution into a qualified plan or you made the rollover in 2023, include a statement explaining what you did. Exception 2. If any of the following apply, enter the total distribution on line 4a and see Form 8606 and its instructions to figure the amount to enter on line 4b. You received a distribution from an IRA (other than a Roth IRA) and you made nondeductible contributions to any of your traditional or SEP IRAs for 2022 or an earlier year. If you made nondeductible contributions to these IRAs for 2022, also see Pub. 590-A and Pub. 590-B. You received a distribution from a Roth IRA. But if either (a) or (b) below applies, enter -0- on line 4b; you don’t have to see Form 8606 or its instructions. Distribution code T is shown in box 7 of Form 1099-R and you made a contribution (including a conversion) to a Roth IRA for 2016 or an earlier year. Distribution code Q is shown in box 7 of Form 1099-R. You converted part or all of a traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA to a Roth IRA in 2022. You had a 2021 or 2022 IRA contribution returned to you, with the related earnings or less any loss, by the due date (including extensions) of your tax return for that year. You made excess contributions to your IRA for an earlier year and had them returned to you in 2022. You recharacterized part or all of a contribution to a Roth IRA as a contribution to another type of IRA, or vice versa. Exception 3. If all or part of the distribution is a qualified charitable distribution (QCD), enter the total distribution on line 4a. If the total amount distributed is a QCD, enter -0- on line 4b. If only part of the distribution is a QCD, enter the part that is not a QCD on line 4b unless Exception 2 applies to that part. Enter “QCD” next to line 4b. A QCD is a distribution made directly by the trustee of your IRA (other than an ongoing SEP or SIMPLE IRA) to an organization eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions (with certain exceptions). You must have been at least age 70 1/2 when the distribution was made. Generally, your total QCDs for the year can't be more than $100,000. (On a joint return, your spouse can also have a QCD of up to $100,000.) The amount of the QCD is limited to the amount that would otherwise be included in your income. If your IRA includes nondeductible contributions, the distribution is first considered to be paid out of otherwise taxable income. See Pub. 590-B for details. You can't claim a charitable contribution deduction for any QCD not included in your income. Exception 4. If all or part of the distribution is a health savings account (HSA) funding distribution (HFD), enter the total distribution on line 4a. If the total amount distributed is an HFD and you elect to exclude it from income, enter -0- on line 4b. If only part of the distribution is an HFD and you elect to exclude that part from income, enter the part that isn't an HFD on line 4b unless Exception 2 applies to that part. Enter “HFD” next to line 4b. An HFD is a distribution made directly by the trustee of your IRA (other than an ongoing SEP or SIMPLE IRA) to your HSA. If eligible, you can generally elect to exclude an HFD from your income once in your lifetime. You can't exclude more than the limit on HSA contributions or more than the amount that would otherwise be included in your income. If your IRA includes nondeductible contributions, the HFD is first considered to be paid out of otherwise taxable income. See Pub. 969 for details. The amount of an HFD reduces the amount you can contribute to your HSA for the year. If you fail to maintain eligibility for an HSA for the 12 months following the month of the HFD, you may have to report the HFD as income and pay an additional tax. See Form 8889, Part III. More than one exception applies. If more than one exception applies, include a statement showing the amount of each exception, instead of making an entry next to line 4b. For example: “Line 4b – $1,000 Rollover and $500 HFD.” But you do not need to attach a statement if only Exception 2 and one other exception apply. More than one distribution. If you (or your spouse if filing jointly) received more than one distribution, figure the taxable amount of each distribution and enter the total of the taxable amounts on line 4b. Enter the total amount of those distributions on line 4a. You may have to pay an additional tax if you received an early distribution from your IRA and the total wasn't rolled over. See the instructions for Schedule 2, line 8, for details. More information. For more information about IRAs, see Pub. 590-A and Pub. 590-B. Lines 5a and 5b Pensions and Annuities You should receive a Form 1099-R showing the total amount of your pension and annuity payments before income tax or other deductions were withheld. This amount should be shown in box 1 of Form 1099-R. Pension and annuity payments include distributions from 401(k), 403(b), and governmental 457(b) plans. Rollovers and lump-sum distributions are explained later. Don’t include the following payments on lines 5a and 5b. Instead, report them on line 1h. Disability pensions received before you reach the minimum retirement age set by your employer. Corrective distributions (including any earnings) of excess elective deferrals or other excess contributions to retirement plans. The plan must advise you of the year(s) the distributions are includible in income. Attach Form(s) 1099-R to Form 1040 or 1040-SR if any federal income tax was withheld. Fully Taxable Pensions and Annuities Your payments are fully taxable if (a) you didn't contribute to the cost (see Cost, later) of your pension or annuity, or (b) you got your entire cost back tax free before 2022. But see Insurance Premiums for Retired Public Safety Officers, later. If your pension or annuity is fully taxable, enter the total pension or annuity payments (from Form(s) 1099-R, box 1) on line 5b; don’t make an entry on line 5a. Fully taxable pensions and annuities also include military retirement pay shown on Form 1099-R. For details on military disability pensions, see Pub. 525. If you received a Form RRB-1099-R, see Pub. 575 to find out how to report your benefits. Partially Taxable Pensions and Annuities Enter the total pension or annuity payments (from Form 1099-R, box 1) on line 5a. If your Form 1099-R doesn't show the taxable amount, you must use the General Rule explained in Pub. 939 to figure the taxable part to enter on line 5b. But if your annuity starting date (defined later) was after July 1, 1986, see Simplified Method, later, to find out if you must use that method to figure the taxable part. You can ask the IRS to figure the taxable part for you for a $1,000 fee. For details, see Pub. 939. If your Form 1099-R shows a taxable amount, you can report that amount on line 5b. But you may be able to report a lower taxable amount by using the General Rule or the Simplified Method or if the exclusion for retired public safety officers, discussed next, applies. Insurance Premiums for Retired Public Safety Officers If you are an eligible retired public safety officer (law enforcement officer, firefighter, chaplain, or member of a rescue squad or ambulance crew), you can elect to exclude from income distributions made from your eligible retirement plan that are used to pay the premiums for coverage by an accident or health plan or a long-term care insurance contract. You can do this only if you retired because of disability or because you reached normal retirement age. The premiums can be for coverage for you, your spouse, or dependents. The distribution must be from a plan maintained by the employer from which you retired as a public safety officer. Also, the distribution must be made directly from the plan to the provider of the accident or health plan or long-term care insurance contract. You can exclude from income the smaller of the amount of the premiums or $3,000. You can make this election only for amounts that would otherwise be included in your income. An eligible retirement plan is a governmental plan that is a qualified trust or a section 403(a), 403(b), or 457(b) plan. If you make this election, reduce the otherwise taxable amount of your pension or annuity by the amount excluded. The amount shown in box 2a of Form 1099-R doesn't reflect the exclusion. Report your total distributions on line 5a and the taxable amount on line 5b. Enter “PSO” next to line 5b. Simplified Method Worksheet—Lines 5a and 5b Simplified Method Worksheet-Lines 5a and 5b Simplified Method Worksheet—Lines 5a and 5b Simplified Method Worksheet—Lines 5a and 5b Summary: This is the simplified method worksheet. It is used to figure the taxable part of your pension or annuity using the simplified method.

If you are retired on disability and reporting your disability pension on line 1h, include only the taxable amount on that line and enter “PSO” and the amount excluded on the dotted line next to line 1h. Payments when you are disabled. If you receive payments from a retirement or profit-sharing plan that does not provide for disability retirement, do not treat those payments as disability payments. The payments must be reported as a pension or annuity. You must include in your income any amounts that you received that you would have received in retirement had you not become disabled as a result of a terrorist attack. Include in your income any payments you receive from a 401(k), pension, or other retirement plan to the extent that you would have received the amount at the same or later time regardless of whether you had become disabled. Example. Taxpayer J, a contractor, was disabled as a direct result of participating in efforts to clean up the World Trade Center. J is eligible for compensation by the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund. J began receiving a disability pension at age 55 when J could no longer continue working because of J’s disability. Under J’s pension plan, at age 55, J is entitled to an early retirement benefit of $2,500. If J waits until age 62, normal retirement age under the plan, J would be entitled to a normal retirement benefit of $3,000 a month. The pension plan provides that a participant who retires early on account of disability is entitled to receive the participant's normal retirement benefit, which in J's case equals $3,000 per month. Until J turns age 62, J can exclude $500 of the monthly retirement benefit from income (the difference between the early retirement benefit and the normal retirement benefit, $3,000 - $2,500) received on account of disability. J must report the remaining $2,500 of monthly pension benefit as taxable. For each month after J turns age 62, J must report the full amount of the monthly pension benefit ($3,000 a month) as taxable. Simplified Method You must use the Simplified Method if either of the following applies. Your annuity starting date was after July 1, 1986, and you used this method last year to figure the taxable part. Your annuity starting date was after November 18, 1996, and both of the following apply. The payments are from a qualified employee plan, a qualified employee annuity, or a tax-sheltered annuity. On your annuity starting date, either you were under age 75 or the number of years of guaranteed payments was fewer than 5. See Pub. 575 for the definition of guaranteed payments. If you must use the Simplified Method, complete the Simplified Method Worksheet in these instructions to figure the taxable part of your pension or annuity. For more details on the Simplified Method, see Pub. 575 (or Pub. 721 for U.S. Civil Service retirement benefits). If you received U.S. Civil Service retirement benefits and you chose the alternative annuity option, see Pub. 721 to figure the taxable part of your annuity. Do not use the Simplified Method Worksheet in these instructions. Annuity Starting Date Your annuity starting date is the later of the first day of the first period for which you received a payment or the date the plan's obligations became fixed. Age (or Combined Ages) at Annuity Starting Date If you are the retiree, use your age on the annuity starting date. If you are the survivor of a retiree, use the retiree's age on their annuity starting date. But if your annuity starting date was after 1997 and the payments are for your life and that of your beneficiary, use your combined ages on the annuity starting date. If you are the beneficiary of an employee who died, see Pub. 575. If there is more than one beneficiary, see Pub. 575 or Pub. 721 to figure each beneficiary's taxable amount. Cost Your cost is generally your net investment in the plan as of the annuity starting date. It doesn't include pre-tax contributions. Your net investment may be shown in box 9b of Form 1099-R. Rollovers Generally, a rollover is a tax-free distribution of cash or other assets from one retirement plan that is contributed to another plan within 60 days of receiving the distribution. However, a rollover to a Roth IRA or a designated Roth account is generally not a tax-free distribution. Use lines 5a and 5b to report a rollover, including a direct rollover, from one qualified employer's plan to another or to an IRA or SEP. Enter on line 5a the distribution from Form 1099-R, box 1. From this amount, subtract any contributions (usually shown in box 5) that were taxable to you when made. From that result, subtract the amount of the rollover. Enter the remaining amount on line 5b. If the remaining amount is zero and you have no other distribution to report on line 5b, enter -0- on line 5b. Also enter "Rollover" next to line 5b. See Pub. 575 for more details on rollovers, including special rules that apply to rollovers from designated Roth accounts, partial rollovers of property, and distributions under qualified domestic relations orders. Lump-Sum Distributions If you received a lump-sum distribution from a profit-sharing or retirement plan, your Form 1099-R should have the "Total distribution" box in box 2b checked. You may owe an additional tax if you received an early distribution from a qualified retirement plan and the total amount wasn't rolled over. For details, see the instructions for Schedule 2, line 8. Enter the total distribution on line 5a and the taxable part on line 5b. For details, see Pub. 575. If you or the plan participant was born before January 2, 1936, you could pay less tax on the distribution. See Form 4972. Lines 6a, 6b, and 6c Lines 6a and 6b Social Security Benefits You should receive a Form SSA-1099 showing in box 3 the total social security benefits paid to you. Box 4 will show the amount of any benefits you repaid in 2022. If you received railroad retirement benefits treated as social security, you should receive a Form RRB-1099. Use the Social Security Benefits Worksheet in these instructions to see if any of your benefits are taxable. Exception. Do not use the Social Security Benefits Worksheet in these instructions if any of the following applies. You made contributions to a traditional IRA for 2022 and you or your spouse were covered by a retirement plan at work or through self-employment. Instead, use the worksheets in Pub. 590-A to see if any of your social security benefits are taxable and to figure your IRA deduction. You repaid any benefits in 2022 and your total repayments (box 4) were more than your total benefits for 2022 (box 3). None of your benefits are taxable for 2022. Also, if your total repayments in 2022 exceed your total benefits received in 2022 by more than $3,000, you may be able to take an itemized deduction or a credit for part of the excess repayments if they were for benefits you included in income in an earlier year. For more details, see Pub. 915. You file Form 2555, 4563, or 8815, or you exclude employer-provided adoption benefits or income from sources within Puerto Rico. Instead, use the worksheet in Pub. 915. Social security information. Social security beneficiaries can now get a variety of information from the SSA website with a my Social Security account, including getting a replacement Form SSA‐1099 if needed. For more information and to set up an account, go to SSA.gov/myaccount. Disability payments. Don’t include in your income any disability payments (including Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) payments) you receive for injuries incurred as a direct result of a terrorist attack directed against the United States (or its allies), whether outside or within the United States. In the case of the September 11 attacks, injuries eligible for coverage by the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund are treated as incurred as a direct result of the attack. If these payments are incorrectly reported as taxable on Form SSA-1099, don't include the nontaxable portion of income on your tax return. You may receive a notice from the IRS regarding the omitted payments. Follow the instructions in the notice to explain that the excluded payments aren't taxable. For more information about these payments, see Pub. 3920. Example. Taxpayer X, a firefighter, was disabled as a direct result of the September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. X began receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits at age 54. X's full retirement age for social security retirement benefits is age 66. X's birthday is April 25. In the year X turned 66, X received $1,500 per month in benefits from the Social Security Administration (for a total of $18,000). Because X became eligible for a full retirement benefit in May, the month after X turned 66, X can exclude only four months (January through April) of their annual benefit from their income ($6,000). X must report the remaining $12,000 on line 6a. X must also complete the Social Security Benefits Worksheet to find out if any part of the $12,000 is taxable. Form RRB-1099. If you need a replacement Form RRB-1099, call the Railroad Retirement Board at 877-772-5772 or go to www.rrb.gov. Accrued leave payment. If you retire on disability, any lump-sum payment you receive for accured annual leave is a salary payment. The payment is not a disability payment. Include it in your income in the tax year you receive it.

See Lump-Sum Election in Pub. 915 for details. Line 7 Capital Gain or (Loss) If you sold a capital asset, such as a stock or bond, you must complete and attach Form 8949 and Schedule D. Exception 1. You don’t have to file Form 8949 or Schedule D if you aren’t deferring any capital gain by investing in a qualified opportunity fund and both of the following apply. You have no capital losses, and your only capital gains are capital gain distributions from Form(s) 1099-DIV, box 2a (or substitute statements); and None of the Form(s) 1099-DIV (or substitute statements) have an amount in box 2b (unrecaptured section 1250 gain), box 2c (section 1202 gain), or box 2d (collectibles (28%) gain). Exception 2. You must file Schedule D but generally don’t have to file Form 8949 if Exception 1 doesn't apply, you aren’t deferring any capital gain by investing in a qualified opportunity fund or terminating deferral from an investment in a qualified opportunity fund, and your only capital gains and losses are: Capital gain distributions; A capital loss carryover from 2021; A gain from Form 2439 or 6252 or Part I of Form 4797; A gain or loss from Form 4684, 6781, or 8824; A gain or loss from a partnership, S corporation, estate, or trust; or Gains and losses from transactions for which you received a Form 1099-B (or substitute statement) that shows basis was reported to the IRS, the QOF box in box 3 isn’t checked, and you don’t need to make any adjustments in column (g) of Form 8949 or enter any codes in column (f) of Form 8949. If Exception 1 applies, enter your total capital gain distributions (from box 2a of Form(s) 1099-DIV) on line 7 and check the box on that line. If you received capital gain distributions as a nominee (that is, they were paid to you but actually belong to someone else), report on line 7 only the amount that belongs to you. Include a statement showing the full amount you received and the amount you received as a nominee. See the Schedule B instructions for filing requirements for Forms 1099-DIV and 1096. If you don’t have to file Schedule D, use the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet in the line 16 instructions to figure your tax. Total Income and Adjusted Gross Income Line 10 Enter any adjustments to income from Schedule 1, line 26, on line 10. Tax and Credits Line 12 Itemized Deductions or Standard Deduction In most cases, your federal income tax will be less if you take the larger of your itemized deductions or standard deduction. Itemized Deductions To figure your itemized deductions, fill in Schedule A. If you made a section 962 election and are taking a deduction under section 250 with respect to any income inclusions under section 951 or 951A, don't report the deduction on line 12. Instead, report the tax with respect to a section 962 election on line 16 and include in the statement required by line 16 how you figured the section 250 deduction. Standard Deduction Most Form 1040 filers can find their standard deduction by looking at the amounts listed to the left of line 12. Most Form 1040-SR filers can find their standard deduction by using the chart on the last page of Form 1040-SR. Exception 1—Dependent. If you checked the “Someone can claim you as a dependent” box, or if you’re filing jointly and you checked the “Someone can claim your spouse as a dependent” box, use the Standard Deduction Worksheet for Dependents to figure your standard deduction. Someone claims you or your spouse as a dependent if they list your or your spouse's name and SSN in the Dependents section of their return. Exception 2—Born before January 2, 1958, or blind. If you checked any of the following boxes, figure your standard deduction using the Standard Deduction Chart for People Who Were Born Before January 2, 1958, or Were Blind if you are filing Form 1040 or by using the chart on the last page of Form 1040-SR. You were born before January 2, 1958. You are blind. Spouse was born before January 2, 1958. Spouse is blind. Exception 3—Separate return or dual-status alien. If you checked the box labeled “Spouse itemizes on separate return or you were dual-status alien” on the Spouse standard deduction line, your standard deduction is zero, even if you were born before January 2, 1958, or were blind. Exception 4—Increased standard deduction for net qualified disaster loss. If you had a net qualified disaster loss and you elect to increase your standard deduction by the amount of your net qualified disaster loss, use Schedule A to figure your standard deduction. Qualified disaster loss refers to losses arising from certain disasters occurring in 2016 and subsequent years. See the Instructions for Form 4684 and Schedule A, line 16, for more information. Standard Deduction Worksheet for Dependents—Line 12 Use this worksheet only if someone can claim you, or your spouse if filing jointly, as a dependent. 1.

Do you want the IRS to figure the tax on your taxable income for you? □ Yes. See chapter 13 of Pub. 17 for details, including who is eligible and what to do. If you have paid too much, we will send you a refund. If you didn't pay enough, we will send you a bill. □ No. Use one of the following methods to figure your tax. Tax Table or Tax Computation Worksheet. If your taxable income is less than $100,000, you must use the Tax Table, later in these instructions, to figure your tax. Be sure you use the correct column. If your taxable income is $100,000 or more, use the Tax Computation Worksheet right after the Tax Table. However, don’t use the Tax Table or Tax Computation Worksheet to figure your tax if any of the following applies. Form 8615. Form 8615 must generally be used to figure the tax on your unearned income over $2,300 if you are under age 18, and in certain situations if you are older. You must file Form 8615 if you meet all of the following conditions. You had more than $2,300 of unearned income (such as taxable interest, ordinary dividends, or capital gains (including capital gain distributions)). You are required to file a tax return. You were either: Under age 18 at the end of 2022, Age 18 at the end of 2022 and didn't have earned income that was more than half of your support, or A full-time student at least age 19 but under age 24 at the end of 2022 and didn't have earned income that was more than half of your support. At least one of your parents was alive at the end of 2022. You don’t file a joint return in 2022. A child born on January 1, 2005, is considered to be age 18 at the end of 2022; a child born on January 1, 2004, is considered to be age 19 at the end of 2022; and a child born on January 1, 1999, is considered to be age 24 at the end of 2022. Schedule D Tax Worksheet. Use the Schedule D Tax Worksheet in the Instructions for Schedule D to figure the amount to enter on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 16, if: You have to file Schedule D, and line 18 or 19 of Schedule D is more than zero; or You have to file Form 4952 and you have an amount on line 4g, even if you don’t need to file Schedule D. But if you are filing Form 2555, you must use the Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet instead. Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet. Use the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet, later, to figure your tax if you don’t have to use the Schedule D Tax Worksheet and if any of the following applies. You reported qualified dividends on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 3a. You don’t have to file Schedule D and you reported capital gain distributions on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 7. You are filing Schedule D, and Schedule D, lines 15 and 16, are both more than zero. But if you are filing Form 2555, you must use the Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet instead. Schedule J. If you had income from farming or fishing (including certain amounts received in connection with the Exxon Valdez litigation), your tax may be less if you choose to figure it using income averaging on Schedule J. Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet. If you claimed the foreign earned income exclusion, housing exclusion, or housing deduction on Form 2555, you must figure your tax using the Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet. Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet—Line 16 If Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 15, is zero, don’t complete this worksheet. 1. Enter the amount from Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 15 1. _____ 2a. Enter the amount from your (and your spouse's, if filing jointly) Form 2555, lines 45 and 50 2a. _____ b. Enter the total amount of any itemized deductions or exclusions you couldn't claim because they are related to excluded income b. _____ c. Subtract line 2b from line 2a. If zero or less, enter -0- c. _____ 3. Add lines 1 and 2c 3. _____ 4. Figure the tax on the amount on line 3. Use the Tax Table, Tax Computation Worksheet, Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet*, Schedule D Tax Worksheet*, or Form 8615, whichever applies. See the instructions for Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 16, to see which tax computation method applies. (Don’t use a second Foreign Earned Income Tax Worksheet to figure the tax on this line.) 4. _____ 5. Figure the tax on the amount on line 2c. If the amount on line 2c is less than $100,000, use the Tax Table to figure this tax. If the amount on line 2c is $100,000 or more, use the Tax Computation Worksheet 5. _____ 6. Subtract line 5 from line 4. Enter the result. If zero or less, enter -0-. Also include this amount on the entry space on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 16 6. _____ * Enter the amount from line 3 above on line 1 of the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet or Schedule D Tax Worksheet if you use either of those worksheets to figure the tax on line 4 above. Complete the rest of that worksheet through line 4 (line 10 if you use the Schedule D Tax Worksheet). Next, you must determine if you have a capital gain excess. To find out if you have a capital gain excess, subtract Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 15, from line 4 of your Qualified Dividends and Capital Gain Tax Worksheet (line 10 of your Schedule D Tax Worksheet). If the result is more than zero, that amount is your capital gain excess.

Line 19 Child Tax Credit and Credit for Other Dependents Use Schedule 8812 (Form 1040) to figure your child tax credit and credit for other dependents. Form 8862, who must file. You must file Form 8862 to claim the child tax credit or credit for other dependents if your child tax credit (refundable or nonrefundable depending on the tax year), additional child tax credit, or credit for other dependents for a year after 2015 was denied or reduced for any reason other than a math or clerical error. Attach a completed Form 8862 to your 2022 return. Don’t file Form 8862 if you filed Form 8862 for 2021, and the child tax credit (refundable or nonrefundable), additional child tax credit, or credit for other dependents was allowed for that year. See Form 8862 and its instructions for details. If you take the child tax credit or credit for other dependents even though you aren't eligible and it is determined that your error is due to reckless or intentional disregard of the rules for these credits, you won't be allowed to take either credit or the additional child tax credit for 2 years even if you're otherwise eligible to do so. If you take the child tax credit or credit for other dependents even though you aren’t eligible and it is later determined that you fraudulently took either credit, you won't be allowed to take either credit or the additional child tax credit for 10 years. You may also have to pay penalties. If your qualifying child didn’t have an SSN valid for employment issued before the due date of your 2022 return (including extensions), you can’t claim the child tax credit for that child on your original or amended return. However, you may be able to claim the credit for other dependents for that child. Payments Line 25 Federal Income Tax Withheld Line 25a—Form(s) W-2 Add the amounts shown as federal income tax withheld on your Form(s) W-2. Enter the total on line 25a.

The amount withheld should be shown in box 4. Attach your Form(s) 1099-R to the front of your return if federal income tax was withheld. If you received a 2022 Form 1099 showing federal income tax withheld on dividends, taxable or tax-exempt interest income, unemployment compensation, social security benefits, railroad retirement benefits, or other income you received, include the amount withheld in the total on line 25b. This should be shown in box 4 of Form 1099, box 6 of Form SSA-1099, or box 10 of Form RRB-1099. Line 25c—Other Forms Include on line 25c any federal income tax withheld on your Form(s) W-2G. The amount withheld should be shown in box 4. Attach Form(s) W-2G to the front of your return if federal income tax was withheld.

You should attach the form to your return to claim a credit for the withholding. Line 26 2022 Estimated Tax Payments Enter any estimated federal income tax payments you made for 2022. Include any overpayment that you applied to your 2022 estimated tax from your 2021 return or an amended return (Form 1040-X). If you and your spouse paid joint estimated tax but are now filing separate income tax returns, you can divide the amount paid in any way you choose as long as you both agree. If you can't agree, you must divide the payments in proportion to each spouse's individual tax as shown on your separate returns for 2022. For more information, see Pub. 505. Be sure to show both SSNs in the space provided on the separate returns. If you or your spouse paid separate estimated tax but you are now filing a joint return, add the amounts you each paid. Follow these instructions even if your spouse died in 2022 or in 2023 before filing a 2022 return. Divorced taxpayers. If you got divorced in 2022 and you made joint estimated tax payments with your former spouse, enter your former spouse's SSN in the space provided on the front of Form 1040 or 1040-SR. If you were divorced and remarried in 2022, enter your present spouse's SSN in the space provided on the front of Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Also, on the dotted line next to line 26, enter your former spouse's SSN, followed by “DIV.” Name change. If you changed your name and you made estimated tax payments using your former name, attach a statement to the front of Form 1040 or 1040-SR that explains all the payments you and your spouse made in 2022 and the name(s) and SSN(s) under which you made them. Line 27— Earned Income Credit (EIC) What Is the EIC? The EIC is a credit for certain people who work. The credit may give you a refund even if you don’t owe any tax or didn’t have any tax withheld. To Take the EIC: Follow the steps below. Complete the worksheet that applies to you or let the IRS figure the credit for you. If you have a qualifying child, complete and attach Schedule EIC. If you have at least one child who meets the conditions to be your qualifying child for purposes of claiming the EIC, complete and attach Schedule EIC, even if that child doesn't have a valid SSN. See Schedule EIC for more information, including how to complete Schedule EIC if your qualifying child doesn't have a valid SSN. For help in determining if you are eligible for the EIC, go toIRS.gov/EITC and click on “EITC Qualification Assistant.” This service is available in English and Spanish. If you take the EIC even though you aren't eligible and it is determined that your error is due to reckless or intentional disregard of the EIC rules, you won't be allowed to take the credit for 2 years even if you are otherwise eligible to do so. If you fraudulently take the EIC, you won't be allowed to take the credit for 10 years. See Form 8862, who must file, later. You may also have to pay penalties. Refunds for returns claiming the earned income credit can't be issued before mid-February 2023. This delay applies to the entire refund, not just the portion associated with the earned income credit.

If you are filing a joint return and both you and your spouse received nontaxable combat pay, you can each make your own election. In other words, if one of you makes the election, the other one can also make it but doesn't have to. If you elect to use your nontaxable combat pay in figuring your EIC, enter that amount on line 1i. Credit figured by the IRS. To have the IRS figure your EIC: Enter “EIC” on the dotted line next to line 27. Be sure you enter the nontaxable combat pay you elect to include in earned income by entering that amount on line 1i. See Combat pay, nontaxable, earlier. If you have a qualifying child, complete and attach Schedule EIC. If your EIC for a year after 1996 was reduced or disallowed, see Form 8862, who must file, later. Exception to time lived with you. Temporary absences by you or the child for special circumstances, such as school, vacation, business, medical care, military service, or detention in a juvenile facility, count as time the child lived with you. Also see Kidnapped child under Who Qualifies as Your Dependent, earlier, and Members of the military, later. A child is considered to have lived with you for more than half of 2022 if the child was born or died in 2022 and your home was this child's home for more than half the time the child was alive in 2022 or if you adopted the child in 2022, the child was lawfully placed with you for legal adoption by you in 2022, or the child was an eligible foster child placed with you during 2022 and your main home was the child's main home for more than half the time since the child was adopted or placed with you in 2022. Form 4797 filers. If the amount on Form 1040 or 1040-SR, line 7, includes an amount from Form 4797, you must use Worksheet 1 in Pub. 596 to see if you can take the EIC. Otherwise, stop; you can't take the EIC. Form 8862, who must file. You must file Form 8862 if your EIC for a year after 1996 was reduced or disallowed for any reason other than a math or clerical error. But don’t file Form 8862 if either of the following applies. You filed Form 8862 for another year, the EIC was allowed for that year, and your EIC hasn't been reduced or disallowed again for any reason other than a math or clerical error. You are taking the EIC without a qualifying child and the only reason your EIC was reduced or disallowed in the other year was because it was determined that a child listed on Schedule EIC wasn't your qualifying child. Also, don’t file Form 8862 or take the credit for the: 2 years after the most recent tax year for which there was a final determination that your EIC claim was due to reckless or intentional disregard of the EIC rules, or 10 years after the most recent tax year for which there was a final determination that your EIC claim was due to fraud. Foster child. A foster child is any child placed with you by an authorized placement agency or by judgment, decree, or other order of any court of competent jurisdiction. For more details on authorized placement agencies, see Pub. 596. Married child. A child who was married at the end of 2022 is a qualifying child only if (a) you can claim the child as your dependent, or (b) you could have claimed the child as your dependent except for the special rule for Children of divorced or separated parents under Who Qualifies as Your Dependent, earlier. Members of the military. If you were on extended active duty outside the United States, your main home is considered to be in the United States during that duty period. Extended active duty is military duty ordered for an indefinite period or for a period of more than 90 days. Once you begin serving extended active duty, you are considered to be on extended active duty even if you don’t serve more than 90 days. Nonresident aliens. If your filing status is married filing jointly, go to Step 2. Otherwise, stop; you can't take the EIC. Enter “No” on the dotted line next to line 27. Permanently and totally disabled. A person is permanently and totally disabled if, at any time in 2022, the person couldn't engage in any substantial gainful activity because of a physical or mental condition and a doctor has determined that this condition (a) has lasted or can be expected to last continuously for at least a year, or (b) can be expected to lead to death. Qualifying child of more than one person. Even if a child meets the conditions to be the qualifying child of more than one person, only one person can claim the child as a qualifying child for all of the following tax benefits, unless the special rule for Children of divorced or separated parents under Who Qualifies as Your Dependent, earlier, applies. Child tax credit, credit for other dependents, and additional child tax credit (lines 19 and 28). Head of household filing status. Credit for child and dependent care expenses (Schedule 3, line 2). Exclusion for dependent care benefits (Form 2441, Part III). Earned income credit (line 27). No other person can take any of the five tax benefits just listed based on the qualifying child. If you and any other person can claim the child as a qualifying child, the following rules apply. For purposes of these rules, the term “parent”means a biological or adoptive parent of an individual. It doesn't include a stepparent or foster parent unless that person has adopted the individual. If, under these rules, you can't claim a child as a qualifying child for the EIC, you may be able to claim the EIC under the rules for a taxpayer without a qualifying child. For more information, see Pub. 596. If only one of the persons is the child's parent, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the parent. If the parents file a joint return together and can claim the child as a qualifying child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the parents. If the parents don’t file a joint return together but both parents claim the child as a qualifying child, the IRS will treat the child as the qualifying child of the parent with whom the child lived for the longer period of time in 2022. If the child lived with each parent for the same amount of time, the IRS will treat the child as the qualifying child of the parent who had the higher adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2022. If no parent can claim the child as a qualifying child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the highest AGI for 2022. If a parent can claim the child as a qualifying child but no parent does so claim the child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the highest AGI for 2022, but only if that person's AGI is higher than the highest AGI of any parent of the child who can claim the child. Example. Your child J, meets the conditions to be a qualifying child for both you and your parent. J doesn't meet the conditions to be a qualifying child of any other person, including J’s other parent. Under the rules just described, you can claim J as a qualifying child for all of the five tax benefits listed here for which you otherwise qualify. Your parent can't claim any of the five tax benefits listed here based on J. However, if your parent’s AGI is higher than yours and you don’t claim J as a qualifying child, J is the qualifying child of your parent. For more details and examples, see Pub. 596. Social security number (SSN). For the EIC, a valid SSN is a number issued by the Social Security Administration unless “Not Valid for Employment” is printed on the social security card and the number was issued solely to allow the recipient of the SSN to apply for or receive a federally funded benefit. However, if “Valid for Work Only With DHS Authorization” is printed on your social security card, your SSN is valid for EIC purposes only as long as the DHS authorization is still valid. To find out how to get an SSN, see Social Security Number (SSN) near the beginning of these instructions. If you won't have an SSN by the date your return is due, see What if You Can't File on Time? If you didn't have an SSN issued on or before the due date of your 2022 return (including extensions), you can't claim the EIC on your original or an amended 2022 return. If a child didn't have an SSN issued on or before the due date of your return (including extensions), you can't count that child as a qualifying child in figuring the amount of the EIC on your original or an amended 2022 return. Student. A student is a child who during any part of 5 calendar months of 2022 was enrolled as a full-time student at a school or took a full-time, on-farm training course given by a school or a state, county, or local government agency. A school includes a technical, trade, or mechanical school. It doesn't include an on-the-job training course, correspondence school, or school offering courses only through the Internet. Welfare benefits, effect of credit on. Any refund you receive as a result of taking the EIC can't be counted as income when determining if you or anyone else is eligible for benefits or assistance, or how much you or anyone else can receive, under any federal program or under any state or local program financed in whole or in part with federal funds. These programs include Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly food stamps). In addition, when determining eligibility, the refund can't be counted as a resource for at least 12 months after you receive it. Check with your local benefit coordinator to find out if your refund will affect your benefits.
