• Sr. Citizen Question Re Supplemental Forms, Please ? (Simple One_

    From Robert11@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 11 12:19:24 2020
    Hello Folks,

    Sr. Citizen now, very, but still like to do
    the taxes myself. Getting harder, though.
    Tried last year TurboTax, but not for me.

    Have two very simple questions, please:

    I will be taking the standard deduction, and using 1040.

    a. My adult son lives with us, and has no income.
    Will be taking him as a Dependent deduction; $ 500 I believe.

    a. Is there any supplemental Form or Schedule that must be
    filled out and submitted along with the 1040 ?

    Or, is just filling out the Dependents Information on the first page of the 1040 “enough” ?

    b. Regarding Capital Gains. I have just a few statements I received that show the amount I received.
    Probably quite basic and simple.

    Is filling out Line 6 on the front of the 1040 enough, or
    again, are there any supplemental Forms or Schedules relative to Capital Gains that I must submit with the 1040 ?

    I determined the amount on Line 6 from my own worksheet notes.

    Schedule D, to the best I can determine, is Not required, and I have checked that box to signify this.

    Thank you very much; really appreciate the help,
    Bob
