Personal Experience
Before we dive into the details, let me share a personal experience. Last year, I received a notice from the IRS stating that I owed additional taxes. I was surprised and a bit confused since I had already filed my taxes on time. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the reason for the additional tax owed was due to Schedule 1 Tax.
It was then that I realized the importance of understanding all types of taxes, including Schedule 1 Tax. So, let’s get started!
What is Schedule 1 Tax?
Schedule 1 Tax is a tax form that is used to report additional income or adjustments to income that cannot be entered directly on Form 1040. It is also known as the Additional Income and Adjustments to Income form.
Some common reasons why someone might need to file Schedule 1 Tax include:
- Receiving alimony
- Earning income from rental property
- Claiming certain deductions, such as student loan interest

Each year, the IRS holds events and competitions to help taxpayers understand different types of taxes.

This event offers free tax help to those who need it and can provide guidance on how to properly file Schedule 1 Tax.
