I have to create an account just to ask a tax question. All i want is to make a copy of the qualified dividends of capital gains and loss worksheet . They have it in the instruction booklet, but with a grey background which is bad for me to read with my eyesight. I put that title in the search box and all that appears is Schedule D, nothing about a worksheet. I googled and all i get is the copy of that worksheet for the year 2018, which does me nothing. Does anyone here know how i can get a good, legible copy of it for these 94 year old eyes? I still like to do my own tax's.

Here is a link to a Schedule D (capital gains & losses) pdf which you
can print. There are also instructions. You should be able to find the
other forms you need by searching here.

Thank you, but i have Schedule D forms, in fact getting most forms that have a number or letter are the easiest to get....its the worksheets that are hard or even possible to get...Schedule D tells me that I need to do the Qualified dividend capital gains worksheet..and the only one i do see is the one printed in the 1040 instruction book, which with its grey background makes it difficult to read the numbers or the questions. When i was younger i had no probem reading. When i scan and make a printout, the results are even worse.

I suggest you bite the bullet and buy some tax software. I used
TurboTax for a while until it lied to me about submitting my return
on-line, and now I use HRBlock and send paper. It's cheaper and a
little clunkier and sometimes you need to beat it into submission, but
it deals with worksheets nicely.

I used to do our taxes by hand, carefully perusing Publication 17 to
make sure I did things correctly. The software is better. I don't want
to think about how nice a car I give the feds each year -- I just want
to fill in the forms, write the checks and forget the whole thing until
next year.

Plenty of other things to stress about :-(
