getting your taxes out of the way? Plan to file early. Accountants and tax preparers may be the only ones looking forward to tax season. For the rest of us, filing sooner rather than later might mean significantly less stress. We won’t worry about getting our taxes done on time or wonder if we owe money. And if we file early, we can do ‘the happy dance’ a lot sooner if we’re owed a state or federal tax refund. Most tax statements begin arriving in January, so start gathering your documents now. Keep them all in one place so you won’t need to search your home to find them – also a stress reducer. When it’s time for your tax preparation appointment, be prepared. At a minimum, take the following documents with you: • Last year’s tax return • Social Security cards or other official identification – for yourself and anyone you claim as a dependent(s). • For Earned Income Credits you may need to bring birth certificates, school records, or any kind of record establishing you as head of household. If you receive public assistance you may have to bring that information as well. • W-2 statements from all employers • Unemployment statements (if applicable) • Form SSA-1099 showing Social Security benefits you received or form RRB-1099, if you receive Tier 1 Railroad Retirement benefits • 1099 forms reporting interest (1099-INT), dividends (1099-DIV) proceeds from sales (1099-B), and any documentation that shows the original purchase price of any assets you sold
• Form 1099-R, if you received a pension or annuity • Form 1099-MISC showing any miscellaneous income • All forms and canceled checks showing federal and state income taxes paid (including quarterly estimated payments) • Dependent care provider information – name and employer identification number (EIN) or Social Security number • Cancelled checks or receipts related to dependent care • If you have enough deductions to itemize instead of taking a standard deduction, also bring: - Form 1098 showing any home mortgage interest - Receipts or cancelled checks related to income and property taxes paid and any records of tax refunds - Charitable contribution receipts - Receipts or canceled checks for medical and dental expenses, prescriptions, assisted living services, home improvements for disabled persons in your home • Additionally, if you’re owed a refund and want it direct deposited to your checking account, bring your check book to the appointment.
