Form 1040 Schedule 1 – Fillable PDF

The IRS Form 1040 Schedule 1 is an essential supplement to the main U.S. Individual Income Tax Return (Form 1040). It captures additional income, adjustments to income, and certain credits that don’t fit on the primary form. With Formize’s fillable PDF, you can complete Schedule 1 directly in your browser—no extra software required.

What Is Form 1040 Schedule 1?

Schedule 1 (Form 1040) reports:

• Business income or loss (self‑employment)
• Rental real estate, royalties, partnerships, S corporations, trusts
• Unemployment compensation, alimony received, and other income
• Adjustments such as educator expenses, student loan interest, and IRA contributions

Filling this schedule accurately can lower your taxable income and increase your refund.
