Be sure to bring your W-2 forms, Social Security and pension information, tax forms sent by financial institutions, property tax and water bills, copies of your 2009 state and federal tax returns, estimated taxes that you paid in 2010, your 2010 costs for making your home energy efficient and a health insurance card for you and your spouse.
Massachusetts tax filers and their spouses might incur a tax penalty if they do not provide proof of health insurance. Because of the very late changes to the Federal tax laws, it is suggested that you wait until March to prepare your taxes if your income includes dividends, mutual funds, or sales of stocks.
Also, the new assessment limit for the senior citizen Circuit Breaker tax credit is $764,000 and the new credit value is $970.
