1. Click ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the form and open it in the editor.
2. Line 10: To calculate any taxable portion of your state and local income tax refund, start by entering the amount from Form(s) 1099-G or a similar statement. Ensure that this amount does not exceed the total state and local income taxes listed on your 2015 Schedule A, line 5.
3. Line 10: Next, enter your total itemized deductions from your 2015 Schedule A, line 29. If your 2015 filing status was married filing separately, and your spouse itemized deductions, skip the next steps and directly enter this amount on line 6.
4. Line 10: Then, refer to your 2015 Form 1040 to determine if you filled line 39a. If yes, multiply that amount by the appropriate figure based on your filing status.
5. Line 10: Add the amounts from the previous calculations for line 5. If this total is less than the itemized deductions entered on line 2, stop here as your refund is not taxable.
6. Line 10: If the taxable part is applicable, subtract line 5 from line 2 to find the taxable portion of your refund. Enter the smaller of line 1 or line 6 here, and transfer this amount to Form 1040, line 10.
7. Line 11: For alimony received, include the total amount of alimony or separate maintenance payments you received. Make sure your social security number is provided to the payer to avoid any penalties.
8. Line 12: If you operated a business, report your income and expenses on Schedule C or C-EZ. Be detailed and accurate to ensure proper reporting of your business income or loss.
