Schedule 1 PDF form

Understand your document

What is Schedule 1?

Schedule 1 adds specified income and adjustments to an individual return. It can bring together amounts from other schedules as well as separately reported income. Additional deductions on a different schedule should not be entered here solely because they sound similar.

Records to gather

• Taxpayer identity matching the associated Form 1040
• Applicable business, rental, unemployment and other additional income records
• Completed schedules that supply amounts to Schedule 1
• Supported adjustment amounts and their eligibility documentation
