Deductions & credits

IRS only requires specific documentation be mailed in with a tax return - in fact they do not want any additional paperwork. 

 

TurboTax prints out the required documentation.

 

One key requirement is any document with any tax withholding being claimed on the tax return.

 

In some cases Form 1099-B is required to be mailed in ii it was summarized on the tax return. 

 

If you have foreign income from a foreign source that you are reporting on Form 1040, there is no additional reporting or attachment required. 

 

As noted earlier any currency conversion or notes relevant to your return should be kept in the event the IRS should contact you in the future. 

 

They have 3 years from the due date of the return to make inquiry.
