Where do I even start?

Sitting there with a pile of receipts and tax forms, we know its difficult to even know where to even begin. Add in a career that is outside the typical 9-to-5 /W2 job, and it can get incredibly overwhelming.

We have put together useful PDF worksheets (broken out by career paths) to help you get your personal information, income information and deductions (digital and paper copies) organized before your tax preparation appointment.
