How does one add an attachment to clarify an entry on the IRS form 1040?

Public Comments

1. Note on the form the attachment and the attachment number, and then attach a statement showing the attachment number to the back of the return.
2. Just say "See attached Schedule 1" if for example you have more items than the form provides lines for.
3. With a staple...about the middle of the page...of the 1040. Use the resouce below for more detailed information or telephone 1-800-TAX (829)-1040...1-800-829-1040. They provide information upon request and have an automated system to enable you to determine which information to listen to.
4. Next to the item on the 1040 (or on the dotted part of the line), write "SEE STMT 1". Then create the statement with a heading at the top as follows: STMT 1 200X Form 1040, Line XX Your name, Your SSN In the center of the page describe/illustrate the information you want to convey. At the bottom of the page in the center write "STMT 1" Attach the statement as the last page of your tax return.
