Family tax tip: A Better W-2 Checklist for Working Parents

A W-2 is a starting point, not your entire tax picture. Families may also have childcare, education, interest or side-income records to reconcile.

A simple next step: Compare each W-2 with pay records and collect other tax forms before filing.

We're here to make tax season feel more manageable for working parents.

Dependents and tuition: ask before filing.

Let’s make your next tax conversation easier.

Dependent-related and education credits have specific eligibility requirements. Bring tuition statements and expense records, and discuss who can claim the student. The same expense cannot support overlapping tax benefits.

Family checklist: write down household changes and gather the forms related to this topic. Bring your questions to your preparer.

Parents, here's a helpful tax-season reminder: hypothetical: two parents, one childcare bill.

Imagine a two-income household paying for daycare while both adults work. The child and dependent care credit may be relevant, but qualifying expenses, provider information and work-related requirements matter. This is an educational illustration, not a client result.

Here's what to do: Keep childcare receipts, provider identification and employer dependent-care benefit details together.

We're happy to help your family get organized.

Give your return a careful review.

Let’s make your next tax conversation easier.

Ask about eligible deductions and whether a prior return needs correction. Changes require a review of the facts and applicable rules; there is no guaranteed refund increase.

Family checklist: write down household changes and gather the forms related to this topic. Bring your questions to your preparer.

Parents, here's a quick reminder: Childcare Tax Benefits

Qualifying work-related childcare expenses may be relevant for the Child and Dependent Care Credit. Benefits depend on qualifying individuals, provider details and work-related rules.
