What is the 1040ez form?

The 1040EZ form was a simplified version of the U.S. individual income tax return designed for taxpayers with straightforward tax situations. It could be used by individuals with taxable income below $100,000, no dependents, and who claimed the standard deduction. However, the 1040EZ form was discontinued after the 2019 tax year, with taxpayers now using the redesigned Form 1040 for their tax filings.
