Basic Scenario – 2018 Tax Year Interview Notes

Brad and Julie are married and want to file jointly. Julie is an elementary school teacher at a private school and she spent $800.00 of her own money for classroom supplies. Ann is attending university and in her sophomore year working on a degree in architecture. In addition to her tuition she had book expenses of $800.00. Ann was required to purchase a specialized software program (CAD, computer-aided design) and drafting supplies for a class. The software was $159.00 and the drafting supplies were $250.00. In addition, she bought a new computer for $1,200.00. Ann worked during the summer and earned $5,500.00 with $550.00 federal tax withheld. Ann also earned $350.00 by occasionally taking care of her younger sister. Julie’s niece Sylvia (from Mexico) lived with them all 2018, she is not legally present in the United States. Sylvia’s parents live and work in Mexico and do not contribute to her support. Health insurance coverage for the whole family except Brad and Sylvia was secured through Julie’s employer for the entire year; her employer paid a portion of the premiums and Julie paid $150.00 per month with post-tax monies. Brad did not have health insurance for January through May; his Medicare coverage started in June. Sylvia did not have health insurance in 2018. They have their checking account number (1800237984654579) but do not know the routing number. Their account is at UFCU.

Form 15080 (EN-SP)(June 2018)

Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service

Consent to Disclose Tax Return Information toVITA/TCE Tax Preparation Sites

Federal Disclosure: Federal law requires this consent form be provided to you. Unless authorized by law, we cannot disclose your tax return information to third parties for purposes other than the preparation and filing of your tax return without your consent. If you consent to the disclosure of your tax return information, Federal law may not protect your tax return information from further use or distribution.

You are not required to complete this form to engage our tax return preparation services. If we obtain your signature on this form by conditioning our tax return preparation services on your consent, your consent will not be valid. If you agree to the disclosure of your tax return information, your consent is valid for the amount of time that you specify. If you do not specify the duration of your consent, your consent is valid for one year from the date of signature.

Terms:Global Carry Forward of data allows TaxSlayer LLC, the provider of the VITA/TCE tax software, to make your tax return information available to ANY volunteer site participating in the IRS's VITA/TCE program that you select to prepare a tax return in the next filing season. This means you will be able to visit any volunteer site using TaxSlayer next year and have your tax return populate with your current year data, regardless of where you filed your tax return this year. This consent is valid through November 14, 2020.

The tax return information that will be disclosed includes, but is not limited to, demographic, financial and other personally identifiable information, about you, your tax return and your sources of income, which was input into the tax preparation software for the purpose of preparing your tax return. This information includes your name, address, date of birth, phone number, SSN, filing status, occupation, employer's name and address, and the amounts and sources of income, deductions and credits that were claimed on, or contained within, your tax return. The tax return information that will be disclosed also includes the name, SSN, date of birth, and relationship of any dependents that were claimed on your tax return.

You do not need to provide consent for the VITA/TCE partner preparing your tax return this year. Global Carry Forward will assist you only if you visit a different VITA or TCE partner next year.

Limitation on the Duration of Consent: I/we, the taxpayer, do not wish to limit the duration of the consent of the disclosure of tax return information to a date earlier than presented above (November 14, 2020). If I/we wish to limit the duration of the consent of the disclosure to an earlier date, I/we will deny consent.

Limitation on the Scope of Disclosure: I/we, the taxpayer, do not wish to limit the scope of the disclosure of tax return information further than presented above. If I/we wish to limit the scope of the disclosure of tax return information further than presented above, I/we will deny consent.

Consent:I/we, the taxpayer, have read the above information.

I/we hereby consent to the disclosure of tax return information described in the Global Carry Forward terms above and allow the tax return preparer to enter a PIN in the tax preparation software on my behalf to verify that I/we consent to the terms of this disclosure.

Primary taxpayer signature Date

Secondary taxpayer signature Date

If you believe your tax return information has been disclosed or used improperly in a manner unauthorized by law or without your permission, you may contact the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) by telephone at 1-800-366-4484, or by e-mail at [email protected].

Bradley J. Harvard 4587 Magnolia Lane Austin, TX 78745 Important information about filing your 2018 federal tax return

We assigned you an Identity Protection Personal Identification Number

Our records show that you either: • were previously a victim of identity

theft or, • notified IRS that you experienced an

incident that could potentially expose you to identity theft or

• requested an identity protection personal identification number (IP PIN).

We placed an indicator on your account and assigned you an IP PIN for calendar year 2018. The IP PIN helps verify a return filed with your social security number was filed by you. You’ll need to use this IP PIN when filing and Forms 1040 during the calendar year beginning in January. If you fail to use your assigned IP PIN, we could reject your return delay the processing of your return. Your assigned 2018 IP PIN is: 102345

What you need to do • Keep this letter in a safe place. You’ll need it to prepare your tax return.

• When you file your federal tax return, enter the IP PIN in the correct

place: − If filing electronically, your tax software or practitioner will tell

you when and where to enter it − If filing a paper return, enter your IP PIN in the gray box marked

“Identity Protection PIN” to the right of the “Spouse’s signature and occupation”.

Note: The second spouse’s IP PIN still protects his or her account even though it’s not entered on a jointly filed paper return.

• If you don’t have to file a tax return, you won’t need to use your IP PIN.

We still protect your account from fraudulent filing.

What to remember about your IP PIN You must use this IP PIN to confirm your identity on your current tax return and any prior year returns filed during the calendar year. We’ll send you a new IP PIN each December by postal mail. Therefore, be sure to file Form 8822, Change of Address, if you change your mailing address. Keep your number private and don’t give it to anyone other than a tax professional filing your tax return. The tax preparer will need to include your IP PIN on your return. Bring this letter with you. The IP PIN is only used to file your return. It has no other purpose. The 6-digit IP PIN is sometimes confused with the 5-digit e-file PIN; they’re not the same or interchangeable. As an IP PIN recipient, you don’t need to file a Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit, to notify us you are a victim of identity theft.
