Are you getting ready to file your 2011 income tax return? Start now by gathering all the documents you will need to bring in to your preparer. If you are not sure what you need, contact your tax professional. Try to keep everything together in one centralized folder. This will make your filing process much smoother. Also, in the weeks ahead, be sure to keep a close eye on your mail. Employers are getting ready to send out W-2s and 1099s. Your preparer will need these key documents, as well. We prepare a personalized organizer for our clients who request one. This packet often helps in the gathering process.
