Frequently Asked Questions

Individual Tax Preparation FAQs

Got questions about filing your personal taxes in San Diego? Here are clear, straightforward answers to common tax questions.

To prepare your individual tax return, you should provide government-issued IDs, income statements (such as W-2s, 1099-NEC, 1099-MISC, or 1099-INT), real estate or rental property records (Schedule E), stock/investment reporting forms (1099-B), and receipts for deductible expenses or charitable contributions. Having your previous year's federal and state returns is also helpful.
California tax laws do not conform to all federal tax changes. For example, standard deductions, depreciation schedules, and treatment of certain credits differ between the IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB). In many cases, using the standard deduction federally while itemizing on your California state return can maximize your overall savings.
