Where can you download the federal 1040 schedule A form?

Schedule A for federal Form 1040 is available for download on the Internal Revenue Service website. The IRS website also provides downloadable Schedule A instructions in PDF form.

Taxpayers must use Schedule A if they choose to itemize their deductions instead of taking the IRS standard deduction for that particular tax year, explains TurboTax. Schedule A reports deductions such as charitable donations, casualty and theft losses, work-related expenses and medical expenses. If a taxpayer does not have a particular type of deduction, he may leave that section of Schedule A blank. Taxpayers should keep all receipts related to their Schedule A deductions.
