General Instructions for Form 1040 2003 Tax Year

This is archived information that pertains only to the 2003 Tax Year. If you
are looking for information for the current tax year, go to the Tax Prep Help Area.

Before you begin:

  • Complete Form 1040, lines 21, 23, 24, and 27 through 32a, if they apply to you.
  • Figure any amount to be entered on the dotted line next to line 33 (see page 33).
  • If you are married filing separately and you lived apart from your spouse for all of 2003, enter “D” to the right of the word “benefits” on line 20a.
  • Be sure you have read the Exception on page 27 to see if you can use this worksheet instead of a publication to find out if any of your benefits are taxable.
