Ready to get your taxes and books done right?
Tax forms will vary based on your situation. Keep in mind that everyone gets different forms, so it is hard to provide a complete list. It is your responsibility to know your accounts and find/download every tax form, but here is a general list to get you started:
- All tax forms received (e.g., W-2, 1099, 1098, K-1)
- If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA; not FSA):
- Your year-end paystub (in addition to your W-2)
- An annual or year-end statement of HSA account activity
- Confirmations of any estimated tax payments made for the tax year
- Property tax statements if NOT escrowed through a mortgage
- Closing statements pertaining to real estate transactions
- Summaries of activity for businesses and/or rentals (summaries of expenses by category only, not individual receipts)
- Summaries of cash donations (summaries of expenses by amount and non-profit only, individual receipts not needed)
- Any tax notices received from the IRS, Franchise Tax Board or other taxing authorities
