Tax Preparation FAQ

Q: What documents do I need to prepare before filing my tax return?

You should gather all income statements (W-2s, 1099-NEC/MISC/INT/DIV/B forms), expense receipts, brokerage statements, business records, rental income records, Form 1098 (mortgage interest), property tax bills, retirement contributions, HSA records, childcare statements, and any IRS or state notices received during the year.
If you are self-employed or own an LLC/S-Corp, you’ll also need full bookkeeping records.
At Burkin’s Tax & Accounting, we provide a customized tax organizer to ensure nothing is missed.

 

Q: Do I still need a tax preparer if I used software like TurboTax before?

Yes — especially if you have multiple income sources, business activity, rental properties, stock trades, K-1s, or any multistate or foreign reporting.
DIY software cannot analyze tax-saving opportunities or catch complex issues such as passive losses, basis limitations, depreciation, or multi-state residency rules.
A professional preparer ensures accuracy, maximizes deductions, reduces risk of IRS letters, and helps you plan ahead for future tax years.
