This week I received three more tax returns to do, and I think I'm starting to understand the basic layout of prosystems, or at least in regard to creating a 1040. I can easily locate the W-2 file and the file for interest and dividend income, however, it is still difficult to read a brokerage statement. Every tax return I work on, I compare to the previous year's to make sure I am putting everything in the right place and not forgetting any important information, but sometimes the CPA filed things oddly last year so when I go to do the tax return I'm completely confused or the client forgot to include important information so that I an hour looking at last year's tax return to see if any accounts were closed for the client, whether they sold their stocks, anything that would explain why there is missing information for this year's tax return.
