Gather tax paperwork and records for accuracy to avoid missing a deduction or credit.
Taxpayers should have all their important and necessary documents before preparing their return. This helps people file a complete and accurate tax return. Errors and omissions slow down tax processing, including refund times.
Some information taxpayers need before they begin includes:
Social Security numbers for everyone listed on the tax return,
Bank account and routing numbers,
Various tax forms such as W-2s, 1099s, 1098s and other income documents or records of digital asset transactions,
Form 1095-A, Health Insurance Marketplace statement,
Any IRS letters citing an amount received for a certain tax deduction or credit.
