    form 1040 changes

    Been going over the new 1040 form.
    Kinda looks like they tried to fix something that wasn't broken.
    Was all this necessary ?

      If it ain't broke, fix it till it is.
      Or, a solution in search of a problem.

        It's what happens when politicians who don't have a clue mandate to IRS what the forms have to be.

          This is what happens when political rhetoric TRUMPS common sense and logic!

          We have 2 half page 1040 forms so that they can claim it is "postcard" size!

              Make no mistake about it, the 1040 is much more complex as it is spread out over 6 Schedules and it very hard to compare to the prior year side by side. We will be hearing from clients looking at their 1040 "Where's my IRA deduction, did you miss it?" Our software's tax summary or comparison report will prove very useful this year.

                So far (lower income folks coming in now for their refund) I see bigger refunds and more confusion about the forms: they get more money and they still need us. Win Win
