Your Guide to Simplified and Accurate Tax Filing
Filing an individual tax return (Form 1040) is a critical obligation for U.S. taxpayers. At Pointax we provide expert guidance and personalized support to make the process seamless, ensuring compliance with tax laws while optimizing your tax benefits.

What is Form 1040?

Form 1040 is the standard federal income tax form used by individuals to report their annual income, deductions, and credits. It determines the amount of tax owed or the refund you may receive. The form accommodates various income types, including wages, dividends, self-employment income, and other earnings.

• You are a U.S. citizen or resident alien with a reportable income.

• Your income exceeds the standard deduction based on your filing status (single, married, etc.).

• You owe special taxes, such as self-employment tax, household employment tax, or alternative minimum tax (AMT).

• You are eligible for refundable credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Child Tax Credit.
