Frequently Asked Questions

•  To file an individual tax return (a Form 1040 series return), you need to have proof of identity (such as a valid photo ID) and a valid identification number (either a Social Security Number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number).
• You need to be able to show income. Most people receive a Form W-2, while some who work for themselves may receive a 1099-NEC or a 1099-MISC. Other common income documents people receive include 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-R, 1099-SS, or 1099-B. Some people use their bank statements to document their income by depositing everything they receive into a designated account. 
• Many people have allowable expenses they can use to reduce their income for tax purposes. Depending on their situation, these can include medical expenses, childcare expenses, education expenses, work-related expenses, and adoption expenses.
• We recommend using a qualified tax professional, like the ones at FM TaxHelp LLC.
