U.S. Personal Tax Return Preparation Checklists

This checklist outlines essential information required for preparing U.S. personal tax returns, distinguishing between 1040 and 1040NR filers and dual-status aliens. It covers starting details, identity verification, filing status, income sources, international reporting requirements, past tax records, and specific instructions for various scenarios like employment income, rental income, partnership income, and treaty tie-breaker situations. Dual-status aliens moving from Canada to the U.S. or vice versa must provide additional details and follow specific procedures. Green cardholders are warned about potential expatriation tax implications. Compliance with international reporting requirements is emphasized to avoid penalties.
