Drop-Off Appointments

What to bring to your appointment:

  • Any tax documents such as forms W-2, 1099, 1098 or 1095A (if applicable).
  • Social Security cards or ITIN letters for ALL persons on your tax return. If you don’t have the original Social Security card available, a photocopy of the card is okay, or an official letter with proof of the Social Security number for the individual. The volunteer must see the document. You cannot just tell them the number from memory­–no exceptions.
  • Picture ID (such as valid driver’s license) for you and, if you are filing jointly with your spouse, a photo ID for your spouse as well.
  • For direct deposit of your refund, you must have proof of financial institution information (like a blank check, not handwritten).
  • Not required but a good idea is to have a copy of your previous year tax return.

  • Schedule C with net loss, depreciation or business use of home
  • Complex Schedule D, Capital Gains and Losses
