Dear Client:
The 2018 Tax Organizer will assist you in collecting and reporting information necessary for us to properly prepare your 2018 income tax return. If we prepared a 2017 return for you, your prior year data has been pre-printed to assist you as a guide. Again, please note that filling in the income tax organizer is strictly at your option. However, it may help you organize, collect and summarize your information, and it has been our experience that it helps prevent omissions and allows us to focus attention on your individual requirements. We would ask that you assist us by answering the set of questions, and verify that we have accurate information on the client and the dependent information pages.
Please provide us with the following information and attach supporting documentation where necessary:
- Copies of all compensation and pension distribution reports- W-2(s), 1099-Misc(s), 1099-R(s) , etc.
