Question: Looking for an old tax form…?

From 1983 and 1984, form 1120. IRS doesn’t have forms back that far. Any ideas or anyone have old forms? I know it’s a long shot…
They aren’t asking for it… We need one to compare to one that may have been doctored. The IRS doesn’t even have the returns from back then…

Answer: Has the IRS contacted you and asked you to file the return? Simple, ask them for the form.

Otherwise, why do you want to file a tax return from 1983?

Question: What to enclose to my 1040 form to the IRS, in addition to the W-2 stubs ?

I cannot find in the instructions what to enclose to the 1040 form to the IRS in addition to my w-2 stub ?
Thanks all !!!

Answer: You should NOT enclose copies of receipts for deductions. Attach any schedules and forms that you were required to fill out and any supporting statements, any forms W-2 or 2439’s that you have, and forms W-2G and 1099-Rs that have federal income taxes withheld.

You’ll find this info on page 63 of the 1040 instructions, under the heading “Assemble Your Return”.
