Are you looking to start your own firm to enhance your finances? If yes, you can consider providing tax preparation services. However, you must be a qualified professional and register with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).  

A career in tax preparation has always been a rewarding path. This is because of the high demand for tax professionals across different industries. Therefore, as a provider that offers tax consultancy and tax preparation services, you’ll stand a high chance of closing deals with a lot of companies that require your professional assistance. 

There is a huge list of documents that are needed for filing taxation in 2014. Now is the right time to get prepared. Along with the documents, you also have to make it 100% sure that you have all the IRS forms that are needed.

Before moving on to the checklist of documents and forms, I would like you to consider the following steps and read these other important resources.

1. Read 5 things to bring to tax preparer’s office.
2. Add the H&R Block checklist and this checklist in file of your important documents, or attach it to the outside of the folder.
3. When you receive or locate tax documents, make sure to check them off the list and place them in your folder.
4. Remove anything on the list that you do not need for your tax situation.
5. Add a page to your documents file to enter all the information and amounts that are not already available on other documents. For example, you may not find bank routing number for direct deposit on any of the documents you have gathered for tax preparation.
