Instead, it focuses on the forms that self-employed families may need to have on hand to complete the PFS accurately and correctly.  \nTax forms covered in this tax primer:  \n􀁦  Form W-2  \n􀁦  Form 1040  \n􀁦  Schedule 1  \n􀁦  Schedule C  \n􀁦  Schedule E  \n􀁦  Schedule F  \n􀁦  Schedule K-1  \n􀁦  Form 1099-MISC  \n􀁦  Form 1065  \n􀁦  Form 1120S  \nFor each of these tax forms, the primer answers three questions:  \n1. What is the form used for?  \n2. What does the form look like?  \n3. Which lines on the form matter the most for completing the PFS?  \n– Important –  \nBe sure to send all your tax forms as required by each school you are applying to for financial aid.  \nDo not limit what you submit to schools to the documents covered in this primer.  \nIf a school requires your tax forms and schedules, be sure to send or upload the full set of tax that you submit to the IRS when filing your tax return. Doing so ensures that you complete each school’s document requirements correctly, avoiding possible delays in the process.  \nForm W-2  \nWhat is Form W-2 used for?  \nThe W-2 is an annual statement of your earnings provided by your employwer for the calendar year. It also shows how much of your pay was withheld for taxes, Social Security, and Medicare. It also indicates how much of your income you put into certain types of pre-tax retirement plans.  \nWhat does the Form W-2 look like?  \nWhich lines on Form W-2 matter most for completing the PFS?  \nIf you are a W-2 earner or pay yourself a salary from your business, this salary will appear in Box 1. Report the salary in Box 1 of your W-2 on line 7A of the PFS for the parent listed as “Parent A.”Use 7B for the parent listed as “Parent B.” Be sure to report the totals from all W-2s if either parent receives more than one for the year.  \nLook at Box 12. If amounts appear in this section with a code D-H, be sure to report that amount as “Payments to tax-deferred retirement plans” in PFS line 8D of the Nontaxable Income Worksheet. If you have multiple W-2s, report the total amount.  \nYou do not have to report any other information from the W-2 on the PFS; however, it is possible that one or more schools you’re applying to might ask you to supply other information from the W-2. You’ll likely be required to submit or upload a copy of each W-2 you receive as part of your financial aid application.  \nForm 1040  \nWhat is the Form 1040 for?  \nThe 1040 is used to report your sources of income, as well as any adjustments, deductions, and credits against your income that will determine how much and what types of federal taxes you should have paid for the tax year. If you’ve paid too much in taxes, it will show how much of arefund from the federal government you are entitled to receive. If you’ve paid too little in taxes, it will show how much more you need to pay.  \nWhat does the Form 1040 look like?  \nThe 1040 is a two-page document and additional schedules depending on income source.  \n1040 Page 1  \nWhich lines on Form 1040 matter most for completing the PFS?  \nNearly every line of the 1040’s Income section has a corresponding line on the PFS where the income information should be reported. Most are straightforward one-to-one matches.  \nHowever, a few lines are worth pointing out as relevant for business owners:  \n􀁦 1040 Page 1 Line 1: Salary/Wages  \nSalary and wages reported here are a total of salaries earned by the parents in the household. The PFS asks you to report each parent’s salary separately, so you won’t see a single line item on the PFS for the total salaries. Be sure, though, that the total of the salaries you enter in lin","cbCaipIFzdLr00uV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipIFzdLr00uV","pdf",4137854,"English","# Introduction\n# Form W-2\n## What is Form W-2 used for?\n## What does the Form W-2 look like?\n## Which lines on Form W-2 matter most for completing the PFS?\n# Form 1040\n## What is the Form 1040 for?\n## What does the Form 1040 look like?\n## Which lines on Form 1040 matter most for completing the PFS?\n# Form 1040 Schedule 1\n## What is it for?","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this Tax Primer for the PFS?\",\"answer\":\"The primer helps self-employed parents understand which tax forms are most helpful when completing the SSS Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS).
