CHECKLISTS: Use the links above to navigate to checklists that will help you figure out what information you need to bring your preparer in order to get your taxes done. These are a good tool to help you jog your brain. However, they are very generic and may not include everything that pertains to you. If you think something might be deductible that we haven't listed, or have a question about something that's not on the list, right it down or bring it in anyway. It never hurts to ask!
