Let's start with the basics

Choose every answer that applies to the return you plan to file.

What types of income did you or your spouse receive?

Tell us what changed this year

These answers help us identify documents that are commonly overlooked.

Will you claim a child or another dependent?
Did you pay for childcare so you could work or look for work?
Did anyone attend college or another eligible school?
Did you have Marketplace health insurance?
Did you buy, sell, refinance, or substantially improve a home?

What do you have in hand?

Check each item only if you have received it and reviewed the name and amount.

Are there issues we should flag?

A "yes" does not mean something is wrong. It may mean professional review is the safest next step.

Do you have unfiled federal or state tax returns?
Did you receive an IRS or state tax notice?
Was there a major life change such as marriage, divorce, a new child, or a death?
Are business and personal transactions mixed together?
Do you expect to owe tax but have not made estimated payments?
