Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is:

**D. 1040**

**Explanation:**

- **W-2**: This is a wage and tax statement provided by employers to employees and the IRS. It reports annual wages and the amount of taxes withheld from paychecks.
  
- **1040EZ**: This form was previously used by taxpayers with simple tax situations, such as those claiming the standard deduction without additional adjustments. However, the IRS discontinued the 1040EZ starting with the 2018 tax year. It has been replaced by a redesigned Form 1040, which is now more simplified and accommodates various tax situations, including those that previously used the 1040EZ.

- **W-4**: This is the employee's withholding certificate used by employers to determine the amount of federal income tax to withhold from an employee's paycheck.

- **1040**: This is the standard individual income tax return form used by most taxpayers to file their annual income tax returns. It accommodates a wide range of tax situations, including those who claim the standard deduction without additional adjustments.

Since the 1040EZ form is no longer available and the individual in question has a straightforward tax situation (claiming a standard deduction with no additional adjustments), **Form 1040** is the appropriate choice.

**Answer:**  
D. 1040
Use **Form 1040** for a simple tax return with a standard deduction.
