IRS Schedule 2 Form 1040 or 1040-SR

IRS Schedule 2 reports additional taxes not directly entered on the main Form 1040 or 1040-SR. This includes various taxes that may apply to taxpayers beyond the standard income tax calculations. Schedule 2 is divided into Part I for tax and Part II for other taxes.

Part I of Schedule 2 primarily reports alternative minimum tax (AMT) and excess advance premium tax credit repayment. The AMT is a supplemental income tax in addition to baseline income tax for certain individuals, corporations, estates, and trusts, with exemptions allowing for lower standard income tax. Part II covers other taxes, including self-employment tax, household employment taxes, additional tax on IRAs or other qualified retirement plans and tax-favored accounts, and the repayment of first-time homebuyer credit. This schedule ensures that all applicable taxes are accounted for and properly reported on the taxpayer’s annual return.
