Tax Preparation Tips for Parents and Families

Helpful preparation questions for parents and caregivers.

Note household changes

A new child, change in custody arrangements, marriage, separation, or change in work can change the information needed for a return.

Organize dependent information securely

Prepare the information your tax professional requests, but don't send children's identifying details through public forms.

Ask about credits instead of assuming

Tax credits have specific rules that can change. Your preparer can review current eligibility using your actual circumstances.
