The 1040 isn’t two sheets of paper?
(Yes, I know there’s worksheets).
If you need to use a 1040 as opposed to a 1040A, you probably have extra schedules. At least schedule A.
Mine has schedule A, B, D (including 3 separate 8949 forms for different types of capital assets: stock transactions), and E, in addition to the ridiculous “worksheets”.
I would love some simplification. The reason it is so complicated is because of all the damn loopholes.
