What You’d Need to File Your Income Tax

Personally identifiable documents for filing your income tax return include driver’s license or state-issued ID and Social Security number. The type of tax documents with your earnings or expense information may vary depending on your activity involvement. This Tax Preparation Checklist may help you to locate and make aware of any tax documents or information you received or should receive, collect, and report for income tax filing.


When to File & Pay Your Income Tax

The tax season typically starts January 2 until April 15. (*Update: 2020 tax season deadline was extended to July 15 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.). April 15 deadline applies to both filing and paying your income tax. Tax returns submitted after April 15 may incur late filing penalties, and unpaid tax balances will start incurring interest. Unsurprisingly, a large number of people will file their taxes later in the season. Therefore, it is recommended to file your taxes early for a prompt preparation and refund.

Though not always, businesses may also receive income tax documents from corporate customers at the end of the accounting period. These financial statements are crucial to preparing a business income tax return.
