What is 5b on 1040?

“5b” on a 1040 tax form does not have a specific meaning. The 1040 form is the standard individual income tax form used by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States to report an individual’s taxable income. The form is divided into various sections, each with different lines and schedules, where different types of income and deductions are reported. It’s possible that “5b” refers to a specific line item on the form, but without additional context, it’s not possible to determine what it represents.
