I don't know how to taxes.

Not knowing much about taxes is normal, and it's not a problem. That's exactly what your Tax Pro is for.

Every Pro in our network is a licensed CPA or EA who prepares returns for a living. You don't need to learn the tax code, figure out which forms apply to you, or know what counts as a deduction. You answer a few questions about your situation, upload your documents, and your Pro takes it from there.

If you like knowing what's happening behind the scenes, here's where to look.

• Free tax guides and templates: our own library of free downloadable checklists, guides, and spreadsheet templates, sorted by whether you're filing personally, for a business, or as someone self-employed. The document checklist is a good place to start if you're not sure what to gather.
• How to file your taxes: step by step: the IRS walkthrough of the full process, from documents to refund.
• IRS tax tips: short updates on credits, deductions, deadlines, and rule changes.

Reading up is entirely optional. It can make your conversation with your Pro easier, but none of it is homework, and you're never expected to know it before you file. If a question comes up while your Pro is working on your return, you can ask them in the chat. They're here to help!
