Get startedTax Education Center
Understand the paperwork before you file.
Plain-language starting points for common tax questions. Open a topic to learn what to look for and what to keep.
W-2 information
Your employer generally provides Form W-2 for wages earned as an employee. Check your name, Social Security number, wages, and federal and state withholding. Keep every W-2 you receive, including corrected forms, and avoid filing until all expected statements arrive.
Tax credits and deductions
A deduction generally reduces taxable income; a credit generally reduces tax. Eligibility depends on your income, filing status, expenses, and supporting records. Bring documents for education, childcare, retirement contributions, homeownership, charitable gifts, and other items that may apply.
Dependents and qualifying children
Relationship, age, residency, support, and joint-return rules help determine who may be claimed. Keep birth records, school or medical records, childcare statements, and proof of where the child lived when relevant. If more than one person may claim the same child, discuss the rules before filing.
Common filing mistakes
Common problems include incorrect names or Social Security numbers, missing income forms, choosing the wrong filing status, claiming the same dependent twice, and entering inaccurate bank information. Review the completed return before signing.
IRS notices and updates
Read every notice, note its response date, and compare it with your filed return and records. A notice is not always a bill, and it does not automatically mean the IRS is correct. Keep the entire notice and contact your preparer before responding if you need help.
Tax fraud and scam awareness
The IRS generally begins contact by mail. Be cautious of urgent threats, gift-card or cryptocurrency payment demands, links requesting personal data, and anyone promising a guaranteed refund before reviewing your records. Do not share identity or tax documents through unapproved channels.

Frequently asked questions
Helpful answers before you begin.
What tax documents should I gather?
Start with photo ID, Social Security information for everyone on the return, W-2s and 1099s, prior-year return, dependent and childcare records, health insurance forms, education statements, and records for deductions or credits that may apply. We’ll let you know if your situation calls for anything else.
Is the refund estimator my final refund amount?
No. It is a rough federal estimate for tax year 2026 based only on the information entered and selected common tax items. State taxes, exact IRS worksheets, certain credits, special deductions, and complex income are not fully calculated. Your final result can change after a complete review.
Are insurance services available now?
Ford Financial Studios is currently preparing for future insurance services. Life insurance and property & casualty are listed for future interest, but no coverage is offered or bound at this time.
Can I send personal documents by email?
Please do not send Social Security numbers, banking details, identification documents, or tax forms in an initial email. Start with a general inquiry and we’ll provide the appropriate next step for sensitive information.
Do you serve clients outside one state?
Tax preparation is available nationwide. Insurance services depend on product availability, carrier rules, and licensing in the client’s state; contact us to confirm.
