WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO GET STARTED

WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO GET STARTED

Don't have every tax document? Don't let that stop you from getting started. Begin with the information you have, and we'll help identify what else may be needed. 


Items:

  • Photo identification
  • Social Security numbers or tax identification information
  • W-2s, 1099s, and other income documents you have
  • Prior tax returns, if available
  • Business or self-employment income and expense information, if applicable
  • Tax notices or letters you've received, if applicable
  • Information about major life changes that may affect your taxes

 Missing documents? We can discuss what may be needed before your return is prepared.
