Prepare a basic individual tax return from the information provided in the module. Refer to form 1040 and the related instructions. It would help if you worked this out manually to understand better how the information ties together; do not use TurboTax or any other software where tax liability is automatically calculated from the information input. You have sufficient information to calculate gross income, adjusted gross income, tax liability, and the amount due/refund with the return. Clearly, all lines on the 1040 and its schedules will not be needed, but make any assumptions you need.
