TAX  DOCUMENTS  CHECKLIST

For clients new to IntegriSolutions we will need to receive the following Information and Tax documents from you.



DOCUMENT SCANS AND PHOTOS for REMOTE RETURNS - Statements and Tax Forms can be scanned to PDF,  or photographed with your phone and easily converted to PDFs.  Click on the following links to learn how to create PDFs from photos taken on your  iPhone  or  Android   devices.

When photographing documents, please take care to have adequate lighting. To avoid disruptive shadows across your documents, be mindful to avoid having your main light source positioned directly behind (or above) you and the camera.  For example, down shooting with ceiling lights directly overhead will result in shadows across your images. Best photo results will come from shooting with bright side lighting, such as near to a window during mid-day sun hours. Positioning  your camera directly over and parallel to your documents will minimize the keystone effect of the image.


On completion of your Tax Return we will let you know the Refund amounts.  We will email an Invoice and the Form 8879, which you'll sign and return. On our receipt of your signed 8879 and payment, your Tax Return will be e-filed directly to the IRS.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

INCOME SOURCES

Your income tax return must reflect all of your income. Any income that doesn’t make it onto your return can result in penalties and interest for under-reported and under-paid taxes.

For tax purposes, income is any money you receive from any source that is not a gift. This includes social security, retirement benefits, sale of real estate, investments (including dividends), bank interest, alimony, gambling and wages. Income from your job, or jobs, will be reflected on W-2s. All other sources of income, such as money earned as an independent contractor, will be reported on a 1099 of one form or another.


CHILD TAX CREDIT

The Child Tax Credit can significantly reduce your tax bill if you meet all 7 requirements of:


PROOF OF EXPENSES

Many people don’t itemize their returns and therefore fail to provide proof of expenses to the tax preparer. Any deductible expenses that you have which are greater than the standard deduction will reduce the amount of taxes you owe or increase the size of your refund. For 2021, the standard deduction is $12,550 for individuals, $25,100 for married couples filing jointly and $18,800 for those filing as head of household.


PROOF OF LOSSES

Losses occur as a result of things like natural disasters, fire, theft and other unexpected catastrophes. Bring along proof of the event in the form of police or fire reports, insurance claims and other official documentation that spells out what occurred and when. If you’ve received partial payment in the form of insurance or federal or state disaster relief, bring that along as well.
