Preparing for Tax Season: What to Do Before Hiring a Tax Professional

While hiring a tax professional can save you time and money, you’ll need to gather relevant documents beforehand for them to accurately complete your tax forms. Having your paperwork organized will not only streamline the process for your tax preparer, but also help minimize fees.

When you meet with a tax professional for the first time, be ready to provide:

• W-2 forms
• 1099 forms
• Mortgage and bank statements
• Receipts for any charitable contributions
• Any other forms related to your tax return, such as business expense receipts

Being thoroughly prepared for your initial appointment will help you find the right tax professional who can guide you through the entire process effectively.
