IRS Form 1040 Instructions
To those who found this page by a search engine,
this page is probably NOT what most of you are
looking for. My apologies to those who have found this page
looking for instructions on how to volunteer yourselves for taxes you
might not owe.
The purpose of this page is to show that the instructions DO NOT COMMAND the domestically earned money of a U.S. citizen to be included on a Form 1040, though it most definitely commands the foreign income of a U.S. citizen to be included on a Form 1040. For those whose curiosity I have piqued with this statement, I would suggest and invite that you check out this web site. More 1040 specific information is found here. |

Anybody that can explain to
me how a Form 1040 can be signed under penalties of perjury, without
waiving one's Fifth Amendment Rights, please do,
so that I may put that explanation right here:
