WHEN YOU COME FOR YOUR FREE TAX PREPARATION APPOINTMENT YOU WILL NEED:

Intake Booklets can be downloaded from https://irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f13614c.pdf for VITA and TCE sites or from ​https://ta-nttc.tiny.us/Tax-Aide-Intake-Booklet for Tax-Aide sites.
  • Government-issued picture ID for each taxpayer.
  • Proof of Social Security or ITIN numbers for all persons on your tax return.

An appointment is not a guarantee that we can prepare your return. Our volunteers are trained in many aspects of tax law. Some tax matters that are considered “Out-of-Scope” and therefore we cannot prepare include, but are not limited to:

  • Self-employment if there are employees, losses, expenses that exceed $50,000, depreciation, business use of home, 1099 filing requirements, or other complicating factors.
  • Hobby income or other activities not for profit.
  • Complicated capital gains/losses, such as futures or options.
  • Rental income.
  • Royalty income with expenses if not from self-employment.
  • Tax on a child’s investment and other unearned income (kiddie tax).
  • Farm income or expenses.
  • Some income, deduction, or credit items that are not included in our training.
  • Alternative minimum tax, additional Medicare tax, or net investment income tax.
  • Foreign financial asset reporting requirements.
  • Any return where the answer to the digital asset (virtual currency) question on Form 1040 is “yes.”
