To get your taxes done you MUST bring: Your social security card or other government issued ID showing your social security number (a W-2 is not sufficient) Government issued photo ID (driver's license, passport, etc.) Social security cards for all dependents (and spouse if filling a joint return) Any tax forms you have received (W-2, 1099-HC, etc.) TaxHelp is an all volunteer group from Harvard Law School.
