Information for Return Problem 1

Return Problem 1 (RP-1) is available for you to "pick-up" and prepare.  Students should acquire the information and forms ONLINE.  Please try soon in order that I may assist you should you experience difficulties.

Here's what you need to do:

  1. Download and print the instructions for RP-1.
  2. Download and print the "Hints for ALL Return Problems."  Read, re-read, and follow these instructions in the preparation for ALL the return problems this semester and increase the score which you earn!
  3. Go to the IRS website and download and print TWO forms 1040EZ for 2016 mentioned at the top of the instructions for RP-1.  Be sure to follow the instructions for 2016 including standard deduction and exemption amounts.
  4. Note while at the IRS site that instructions for 1040EZ and selected other forms are also available online.  It would be your choice to view them online, print them, or simply realize they are there should you need them.
  5. Complete the two forms 1040EZ for 2016 and have them ready to turn in when due in class on Thursday, April 6.
