Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Form 1040 is not a payroll tax form; it is a personal income tax form. The other forms listed (Form 940, Form 941, and Form 944) are all payroll tax forms used to report and remit payroll taxes. Additionally, Form W-2 is provided to employees to summarize their income and withholding for the year, while Form W-3 is filed with the Social Security Administration to summarize all of the information from the individual W-2 forms.
