Form 1040-ES (NR) and Form 1040: Basics
Form 1040-NR: U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return Definition
All forms must be filed by the due date of the return on which the gross income has been allocated to individuals and businesses. The definition of U.S. source income does not include items reported on Form 1040-NR. A Form 1040-NR may be filed for each year or part of a calendar year (beginning with the calendar year for which you expect to be subject to U.S. tax). A Form 1040-NR that is not yet due is considered filed on the date that it is received. If you are filing under an agreement with the IRS (known as an amended return), you are required to file an amended Form 1040-NR before the expiration date specified in the agreement. Generally, the due date is the date that the IRS first determines that you owe back taxes. If you have not yet filed an income tax return on the agreement date, you may file Form 1040-NR and attach a statement that explains why you cannot file a return on the agreement date. For more information about these agreements, see the instructions for Form 4868. Form 1040-NR Example 1 A. A is a U.S. citizen who has been a resident alien of the U.S. for all the prior five tax years. During the five tax years, she worked in the U.S. on a regular basis and earned a total of 300,000 in gross income. She reports all of her income for the five years on her Form 1040, line 15a, plus 20,000 on line 24 as an “employee income” report. Her filing status changes to married filing jointly (Form 1040), filing Schedule C (Form 1040), line 21, for the first year and a separate Form 1040, line 12, for the fifth year only. Her income on both income reports is 130,000. An also files Form 8852 for the years 2005 to 2006. Because that is not her first year filing, I does not need to file a Form 1040-NR because her income is U.S. source income. B. B is also a U.S. citizen but in 2000 was not a resident alien. Because B was not a resident alien at all years in the five prior tax years, she filed an Individual Tax Return (IT) each year and has always reported her source income on that return. B also files Form 8852.
Form 1040: U.S. Individual Tax Return Definition, Types, and Use
A “tax return,” then, must be submitted to the IRS by an individual filing taxes for the year. This form is sent to the IRS by a taxpayer during the taxpayer's monthly tax response period, which is the time from the due date of filing the return to the payment of all the taxes due. The IRS uses its own rules when it determines which taxpayers fall within the monthly tax response period. Forms for Forms 1040 (Tax Returns) and 1040NR Use Form 1040, which can be mailed to the IRS or mailed to the address on the form.

Form 1120 should not be used only if the taxpayer did not use a different address on the 1040 and the 1120 forms.
