Preparing for your Appointment

We’re excited to help you with your taxes! 

Please bring the following:

  • A government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license or passport) for you and for your spouse if you’re filing a Married Filing Jointly return
  • A Social Security card or other government document showing the full Social Security Number or ITIN for everyone listed on your tax return
  • {Should we note here that both spouses should be present at the appointment if at all possible?}
  • Your current year tax documents, including
    • W-2 forms (wages, gambling winnings)
    • 1099 forms (Social Security benefits, pensions, IRAs, dividends, interest, unemployment benefits)
    • Brokerage statements
    • Real estate tax and mortgage interest statements (if itemizing or not sure)
    • Scholarship, tuition, and student loan statements
    • Health Savings Account and medical insurance forms
    • Self-employment income and expense records
  • A checkbook or bank document if you’d like to direct deposit your refund or make an IRS payment from your bank account
  • Last year’s tax return (suggested)

Pre-Appointment Packet:

You can pick up a Pre-Appointment Packet at any of our open sites or download it here. The packet includes a complete checklist of documents you may need to prepare your return. Please complete and bring with you the Intake Form you will find in the pre-appointment packet. 

Very Important

Please remember to bring:

  • Your government-issued photo ID (and your spouse’s ID if filing jointly)
  • A Social Security card, ITIN card, or SSA-1099 for everyone listed on your return

We can’t complete your return without these documents.

When Should I Arrive?

Please plan to arrive before your scheduled appointment.  If you need help completing the Intake/Interview & Quality Review Sheet or one of our worksheets, feel free to arrive a little earlier so we can assist you.

We look forward to seeing you!B
