On the six-month anniversary of the passage of tax reform, the Treasury Department and IRS revealed the new postcard-size Form 1040 for use in the 2019 filing period. The new form will replace the existing forms 1040, 1040A, and 1040EZ.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement on June 29, “The new, postcard-size Form 1040 is designed to simplify and expedite filing tax returns, providing much-needed relief to hardworking taxpayers.”
