My motto is “ease and effectiveness.” Here is how to achieve it and save money:
- Complete your Tax Organizer and include W-2s, Form 1099, 1095-A, etc. Please round entries.
- Enter a total in each blank. If it is the total of a list. Attach the list and refer to it.
- Provide taxpayers’ and dependents’ birthdays.
- Do not duplicate information.
- If you buy or sell an investment or business asset, list the date purchased, cost, price, and sale date. If it is real estate provide closing statements for its purchase, sale, or refinancing.
- For each charitable gift, provide a receipt, the date, the description, cost, name, and address of the charity.
- Use the Business Income and Expenses form to report your business items.
- Ignore Miscellaneous expenses.
- For each rental property list its cost, date first rented, rent, and expenses.
- Business vehicles: enter model date use began, business, and mileage.
- For dependent care, list the provider’s name, tax number & address.
