Forms needed for filing with below issues ?

Question

What forms do I need as Independent Contractor, Disabled, W2, Katrina,and write-offs. Thanks

Answer 1

As an independent contractor you'll use a schedule C or C-EZ, and a schedule SE to calculate your self-employment tax, and a form 1040. The numbers from the bottom of the C and SE will transfer to the 1040. Your W-2 info will go on the 1040 also.

You won't need any special form for disability.

Writeoffs - if you're talking about expenses for your business as an independent contractor, those will go on the schedule C or C-EZ. If you are talking about itemized deductions, you'll use a schedule A. For other, special credits, most have their own forms, and some just go on your 1040 - see instructions for schedule A for the particular item you're talking about.

For Katrina, there are various benefits available. Some require a special form. See IRS Publication 17 for info on what's available, and how to report it. Look in the index under "Hurricane Katrina"

You can download the forms, instructions and publications at irs.gov

Answer 2

Judy's almost right. If your disability is taxable and you meet certain income tests, you might be eligible for the Credit for the Elderly and Disabled. Calculate and claim that on Schedule R.
