Year-End Tax Paperwork Checklist
Collect the documents needed before filing.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Prepare a checklist of documents I should gather before preparing my tax return. My circumstances in general terms (employed, self-employed, rental income, student, retired): [CIRCUMSTANCES]. Country and tax year: [COUNTRY_AND_YEAR]. Documents I already have: [DOCS_HELD]. Produce a checklist grouped by income, deductions or credits I should ask about, assets and accounts, and identity documents. For each item write why it is usually needed in one line and mark whether I have it using the list I gave. Because tax rules differ and change, mark every item that depends on local rules [VERIFY] and tell me to check the official tax authority guidance for [JURISDICTION]. Add a timeline table that works back from the filing deadline that I supply: [FILING_DEADLINE], with milestones. List questions to ask a tax professional. This is not tax advice and you must not calculate my tax or advise on specific deductions. Treat this as learning material only. For tax, benefits or legal rules, ask for [JURISDICTION] and mark the statement [VERIFY] so I check it with a qualified person.
