1) 1040 Line 64 = Withholding from W-2 and 1099 forms. Send them copies.

2) Line 40 = Sum of deductions from your Schedule A, Itemized Deductions. Send them a copy.

need schedule A second page. First page stops at line 30.

irs says Schedule is incomplete or missing from my return. they want complete information that supports $13,636 on line 40 form 1040.

Employee

@louiswilson0229 Schedule A is only 1 page long and stops at line 30. What are you looking for?

What does Schedule A line 29 say? And which box is checked? Is the box checked on line 30? Do you have a high income?
Are you filing a Joint return and you are over 65? Are all your deductions on Schedule A? What amount does A line 29 have?

Schedule A line 29 is $43,636. Box 29, NO is checked. Box on line 30 is not checked. Income is $134,573 (under $156,900). Filing jointly and wife and I are over 65. All deductions are on Schedule A. Amount on a line 29 I $43,636.

Employee

That's an even 10,000 difference. Did you add a deduction after you filed? Does 10,000 ring any bells with you?

Employee

$43,636 - $13,636 = $30,000 (not 10,000). Did you really have almost $44k in itemized deductions?
If so, the IRS likely wants receipts, cancelled checks, etc.

Employee

I think you just made a typo. Just send them a copy of your schedule A. Don't know how I got 10,000. Too many numbers around here and I'm not well.

Employee

But first verify that what you put on Schedule A is indeed correct.

2) Line 40 = Sum of deductions from your Schedule A, Itemized Deductions. Send them a copy.

Employee

What about line 40? 1040 line 40 is either your Itemized Deductions OR the Standard Deduction. If you took the Standard Deduction you won't have a Schedule A. How much is on line 40?
