Another new tax year has arrived. And for the third consecutive year, it comes in on the heels of a year in which we didn't see any major changes to the Internal Revenue Code.
Does that mean we won't see tax form changes in 2024? No. Taxes and the forms we use to report them or claim tax breaks are always tweaked to reflect the needs of the current filing season.
In most cases, the changes reflect some automatic adjustments to amounts due to inflation. The most common here is the standard deduction amounts listed on Form 1040.
To try to keep track of these changes, the ol' blog is continuing an annual special page dedicated to tax forms. This feature is now in its sixth, evolving (like Internal Revenue Service paperwork) from Tax Form Tuesday in 2020 to 2021's Tax Forms Fiesta! in 2021 to Talking Tax Forms in 2022 to the even more concise Tax Forms 2023 and Tax Forms 2024.
You'll notice that naming convention continues, with this Tax Forms 2025 page.
That's not the only consistent feature. Keeping with the if it ain't broke, don't fix it mantra, this page generally will include posts that mention, and sometimes focus on, IRS forms you might run across while filing your annual return or meeting other tax responsibilities.
Some are documents you have to complete. Others are the statements (or forms) that you'll get to help you file your return.
While I'm filling out this new Tax Forms 2025 page, which still has the GIF of Broad City star Ilana Glazer because she's brilliant and it works, you can always peruse the forms that were featured in prior year tax form pages mentioned (and linked) earlier.
Now to 2025's featured forms, or since it's still early in the new filing season, some of those that helped wind down 2024.
