Please review the following list carefully before visiting the VITA free tax Site to ensure that you have all of the required documents needed to complete your federal and State of Colorado tax return:

Your Social Security card, Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) or an accurate record of either number. If you’re filing a joint tax return with your spouse and/or you’re claiming a dependency exemption for someone or claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit, you’ll need to bring accurate records of those Social Security Numbers or ITINS, as well. (Accurate Social Security numbers are extremely important to ensure your tax return gets processed as quickly as possible — which will speed up your receipt of any tax refund you may be expecting);

Photo Identification such as a driver’s license;

All Forms: W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, from all your employers for the year 2010. If you’re filing a joint tax return, you’ll need all your spouse’s Forms W-2 as well;

Any and all Forms 1099 you (and your spouse if filing jointly) received, Form 1099 reports various types of income received (such as interest, dividends, unemployment compensation, social security, state tax refunds, pensions, 401K, IFtA’s, etc.);

A copy of your last year’s federal and state tax returns, if you kept copies;

A copy of any educational expenses paid to a qualified educational institution (including tuitlon, books & mandatory fees and interest paid on student loans);
