A few helpful details
Can I fill this out on my computer?
Yes. Save the PDF to your device and open it in a PDF reader such as Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can type in the fields, save your answers, or print a blank copy to complete by hand.
How is the workbook different from the free checklist?
The checklist helps you identify the facts and questions to gather. The workbook provides more structure and space to organize records, take notes, and prepare for a professional conversation.
Does this replace personal tax advice?
No. These are educational resources. Your facts, tax year, and any notices or deadlines may change what you should do next. Contact Dr. Friday’s office to discuss personal help.
Tax year & advice notice
Tax laws and IRS guidance can change and may differ by tax year. These resources provide general educational information, not personalized tax advice. Confirm the rules and deadlines for your return’s tax year and consult a qualified tax professional about your situation.
