To complete taxes promptly, those seeking assistance should bring the following:
– Original photo identification, such as driver’s license, school, employer, military, or state
ID for you and your spouse (if married)
– Social Security cards or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number documents for you,
your spouse, and dependents
– Birth dates for you, spouse, and dependents
– A copy of last year’s tax return
