​
* Did you make any charitable contributions to nonprofit organizations last year via check/credit card/cash? If so, what was the total amount? $________________
* Did you donate any noncash items to nonprofits (e.g. clothing & household goods to organizations like SPCA or Goodwill) last year? If so, was the estimated total fair market value of the items donated? $___________.
If over $500, please let me know who you donated to. If over $5,000 you generally have to have an appraisal (donations of household items over $5,000 FMV is very rare).
See wehnercpa.com/non-cash-contributions for more information on noncash donations.
​
If you have any of the following I will also need additional information:
​
* Rental property or properties - Please provide profit & loss or complete this rental sheet for each property.
​
*Business (Sole Proprietorship) - Please provide profit & loss or complete this business sheet for each business.
​
Below is a link to the various ways to send information to me:
​
​
* If you are missing a tax form please let me know. If I have an income tax power of attorney on file I may be able to get the information directly from the IRS or FTB.
​
This list is pretty close to the bare minimum that I need to prepare a personal income tax return. Please note that I send an income tax organizer to clients that has specific pages based on their prior year's tax returns (e.g. rental & business sections that list prior year's amounts). This can be found in my continuing client's TY23/Client Organizer folder in my SmartVault portal. I do not require that you complete the organizer but strongly suggest doing so for my clients with more involved returns.
