2. Line 2 you look at the W2 form, box one where it says interest income and write that number down.
3. You would write a 0 here because Arnold Johnson is unemployed
4.Then you would add lines 1, 2 and 3 together to get your adjusted gross income on line 4
5. For line 5 you would look on the back of the 1040EZ form and write down 6,300 because he is single and fill out the back part of this form
6.Then you subtract line 5 from 4 and you would get 24,950
7. Line 7 you look on the efile and check for box number 2 and write down 2,345.22
8. For line 8 we wrote 0 because it does not apply for him
9. Then you would add line 7 and 8a together to get 2,345.22 for line 9
10.For line 10 you would look at the tax table to find your number there and then write that number in which for him would be 3,285
