02 / A look at the workExplore the process
Behind every return,
there’s a process.
A shoebox is only the beginning. Follow the paperwork through three parts of the tax preparation process.
The paper trailIllustrative workflow
Start with a complete picture.
Identify the records in front of you, organize what belongs together, and notice what still needs a question.
Know what the numbers mean.
Connect the documents to the information a return needs. A clear process helps you work deliberately rather than guess.
Give the details a second look.
Check for missing information and inconsistencies. Recognize when a question needs more research or professional guidance.
Explore an illustrative workflow. The detailed program curriculum will be shared with enrollment information.
