In this episode of “Tax File Minute: Answers from a Tax Insider,” Jackson Hewitt’s Chief Tax Information Officer Mark Steber explains the benefits of filing early and what documents you need to prepare and file your income tax return.
Why you shouldn’t wait until Tax Day to file your income tax return:
- Help protect against identity theft and tax refund theft
- Receive your tax refund sooner
- Gives you more time to pay or find missing data and documents
You’ll need several documents to prepare and file your income taxes, including:
- Last year’s federal and state tax returns
- 2020 income documents
- Unemployment benefit statements
- Information on each dependent
- Self-employment records
- Charitable donation receipts
