Is it better to file a 1040 or 1040EZ?
If your situation has changed this year, it may be to your advantage to file a Form 1040 instead. For example, you may pay less tax by filing a Form 1040 because you have enough deductions to itemize this year. Remember, choosing the correct tax form could mean money in your pocket. Check your tax instructions carefully.
Can you file 1040EZ if you are married?
You can use Form 1040EZ to file as “Single” or “Married filing jointly.” If you qualify for another filing status, such as “Head of house- hold” or “Qualifying widow(er),” you may be able to lower your taxes by using Form 1040A or 1040 instead.
