[quoteYou are completely wrong about this. Can you truly be so astoundingly unaware of how the change came to be? What's sad is to think you might be spreading this gross misinformation to your clients.][/quote]

IMHO, the fact that the schedules still have the same line numbers as the old 1040 leads me to believe the form designers do not expect this design to last

1) I don't have a stat but many paper filers will only have have to use the 2 pages of the 1040 and not all 6 feed-in schedules.It is not like every taxpayer is going to have 7 pages .
2) We now have a standard 1040 for all taxpayers (no more 1040 A or 1040 EZ to deal with for paper filers )
