<p>Well last year (like this year too), my mom already filled out and completed the 1040 tax form, so I don’t think it was that. I’m not sure if she qualifies for the 1040a, but for last year and this year, I put the same answer about whether or not she qualifies ("Don’t Know). The only thing that is a little different this year are some of the numbers which increased a little, but still in no way exceed $50,000.</p>
<p>By the way, I really appreciate your help! I just don’t understand why it’s changed when my circumstances really haven’t.</p>
