Hi,
On Form 1040 there is a place to enter a daytime phone number. It is on the same line as the signature, just to the right of the space for "Occupation." My tax preparation software never prompts me to enter a daytime phone number, so that space is always blank when I print my return. I've always assumed that the phone number isn't required information, and that must be why my software never asks me to enter it.
Is my assumption that the phone number isn't required information correct? And if it's not required, would it be better to include it anyway?
