Common Mistakes to Avoid

Even a starter form can cause headaches if filled incorrectly. Watch out for these frequent errors:

• Leaving the Social Security Number field blank or entering a typo
• Mixing up personal exemptions with dependents
• Incorrectly rounding numbers – the filler handles rounding automatically, but manual edits can break it
• Forgetting to sign the form before printing or submitting

1. Electronic filing: Save the PDF and upload it through your tax‑software provider or the IRS e‑file portal.
