America's Forms, In Plain English

Every form below is one we prepare and certify. Click nothing — just read, and know what you're signing.

FormWhat it actually is
Form 1040The individual return — income, deductions, credits, and the schedules that hang off it.
Form 1120 / 1120-SC-corp and S-corp returns — the S version passes income through to shareholders.
Form 1065Partnership return; partners receive K-1s for their share.
Form 941Quarterly payroll — withheld income tax and FICA reported to the IRS.
Form W-9 / 1099-NECContractor onboarding and the year-end reporting that follows.
FBAR / FinCEN 114Foreign accounts over the threshold, reported to Treasury — separate from the tax return.
Form 2555The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion for Americans abroad.
Form 8606Non-deductible IRA contributions — the backdoor Roth's paper trail.

Forms and thresholds change. This library explains purpose, not current-year figures — verify live numbers with the relevant authority, or simply hand the whole pile to us.
