To file your 2013 tax return, simply follow these instructions:
Step 1. Sign and date the return
Because you 're filing a joint return, Lance and Wanda both need to sign the tax return.
If your return is signed by a representative for you, you must have a power of attorney attached that specifically authorizes the representative to sign your return. To do this, you can use Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative.
Step 2. Assemble the return
These forms should be assembled behind Form 1040 --U.S. Individual Income Tax Return
- Schedule A
- Form 1040-V
Staple these documents to the front of the first page of the return:
Form W-2: Wage and Tax Statement
1st (Chamber of Commerce)
2nd (Law Firm)
Step 3. Pay the balance due on your taxes
Make your check or money order for $411 payable to "United States Treasury." Don 't send cash.
Write the following on your check or money order:
- "2013 Form 1040"
- Lance 's name and address
- Lance 's daytime phone number
- Lance 's Social Security Number
On the right side of the check or money order write the dollar amount of the payment, like this: $411.00.
Don 't staple or otherwise attach the payment to the return. Instead, just place it loose in the envelope with the return.
