Form 1040 is the IRS form U.S. taxpayers use to file an annual income tax return. If you already completed last year's return and want this year's blank with the same personal details in place, upload both. You check every line, sign it yourself, and preview free.
Tested with the irs.gov edition dated 2025
irs.gov says Form 1040 is used by U.S. taxpayers to file an annual income tax return. The 1040 instructions say everyone can file Form 1040, and that Form 1040-SR is an optional alternative for taxpayers born before January 2, 1961 (for 2025) that uses the same schedules and instructions.
The PDF on irs.gov is titled "2025 Form 1040". The 1040 instructions page for that year (1040 (2025)) is on irs.gov too. When the IRS publishes the next year's form, it replaces this one on the same page. RepeatForm does not supply the blank form: get it from irs.gov, or use the one your tax software or preparer gave you.
The IRS "About Form 1040" page says you may only need Form 1040 and none of the numbered schedules. It lists when each schedule applies: Schedule 1 for additional income and adjustments to income; Schedule 1-A for additional deductions; Schedule 2 for additional taxes; Schedule 3 for additional credits and payments. RepeatForm works with the Form 1040 PDF only, not the schedules.
Filing status, name, address and social security numbers come first, then dependents. The Income section asks for amounts such as the total from Form(s) W-2, box 1 on line 1a, with a note to attach Form(s) W-2. Later lines cover adjusted gross income, deductions, tax, credits, payments, and either the amount you overpaid or the amount you owe. The last part has your signature. RepeatForm does not work out any amount or choose a filing status: use the IRS instructions, your tax software or a tax professional.
Many people prepare their return in tax software, which carries things over itself. This page is for the other case: you complete the PDF, and you want this year's blank with the same personal details already in. Upload last year's completed 1040 and a blank one; RepeatForm carries the matching answers across; you review them, then preview the PDF free.
The Form 1040 PDF on irs.gov is titled "2025 Form 1040", and its footer reads Form 1040 (2025). Get the current form from irs.gov
The IRS rewrites parts of the 1040 each year; for 2025 the instructions list new deductions, a new Schedule 1-A and other changes. When your completed copy is an earlier year, many personal answers carry but some fields match only partly. Check every field after a new edition, and most of all any line or box whose wording changed.
Upload the two versions, check what matched, then inspect the finished PDF before paying.

irs.gov says it is the form U.S. taxpayers use to file an annual income tax return.
The IRS says 1040-SR is an optional alternative for taxpayers age 65 or older (born before January 2, 1961 for tax year 2025) and uses the same schedules and instructions as Form 1040.
Not always. The IRS says you may only need Form 1040 and none of the numbered schedules. Its "About Form 1040" page lists what each schedule is for. RepeatForm works with the 1040 PDF only.
The PDF on irs.gov is currently the 2025 form. Check irs.gov for the newest one and for which year you need to file.
Yes. The 1040 instructions say the form is not considered a valid return unless you sign it as required. RepeatForm leaves the signature and date blank for you.
The Income section starts with the total from Form(s) W-2, box 1, and says to attach Form(s) W-2. Follow the IRS instructions for exactly where each box goes.
Reuse the personal details. The year, income, deductions, credits, payments, signature and date need to be new.
