- Residency and ID Requirements
[3]
The Community Tax Centers have
no residency requirements.
[7]
This means a client can come from anywhere
[9]
in the United States and we will prepare
[12]
their income taxes for them.
[13]
Most of our clients come
from the Austin area
[16]
and only need their federal
tax return prepared.
[19]
If a client has worked or lived in a state
[22]
that requires the preparation
of a state tax return
[25]
in addition to the federal tax return,
[28]
we will prepare both their
federal and state tax returns.
[33]
State tax returns can be prepared
[35]
using the Drop Off Program.
[37]
In a later training video you will
[38]
learn more about our Drop Off Program.
[41]
You may be wondering, "How will I know
[43]
if a state tax return is needed?"
[46]
Well, the easiest answer is
to take a look at each W-2.
[50]
Looking at the bottom of each W-2
[52]
you will find fields 15 through 20.
[55]
These fields are used to
report state earnings.
[58]
If a W-2 reflects
information in these fields,
[62]
the client may need a
state tax return completed.
[66]
However, some states do not
require a state tax return
[70]
and may still complete
the fields 15 through 20.
[73]
For example, you may
encounter a W-2 from Texas,
[77]
reporting income in fields 15 through 20.
[80]
In Texas a state tax
return is not required.
[84]
Therefore there is no need to worry.
[86]
You can move on to the
next income document.
[89]
If you encounter an income document
[91]
from any state that will
require a state tax return,
[95]
the Client Liaisons will need to discuss
[97]
the Drop Off Program with the clients.
[100]
Here is a list of states that require
[102]
preparation of a state income tax return.
[105]

[108]
Here is a list of the states that do not
[110]
require preparation of a state tax return.
[113]
(lighthearted music)
[115]
Remember that all state income tax returns
[118]
must be completed using
our Drop Off Program.
[121]

[124]
The Community Tax Centers must confirm
[126]
the identity of everyone on the tax return
[129]
to avoid the potential for
identity theft or tax fraud.
[133]
When validating the
identity of the primary
[136]
taxpayer and spouse, a picture ID
[138]
must be presented to the Client Liaison.
[141]
When validating a Social Security or
[144]
Individual Tax Payer
Identification Number,
[147]
which we also call ITIN, an original
[150]
or photocopy that is
legible must be presented.
[154]
Refer to the document titled,
[156]
Confirming the Identity and SSN or ITIN
[160]
of a Community Tax Center
Client, for a more thorough
[163]
list of all acceptable
IDs and acceptable proof
[166]
of Social Security number or ITIN number.
[171]
When conducting the intake interview,
[173]
Client Liaisons must photocopy all IDs,
[177]
Social Security cards,
and ITIN letters or cards.
[182]
If a client cannot
substantiate their identity
[185]
and Social Security or ITIN number
[188]
they should return with
an acceptable form of ID.
[192]
Since the Community Tax Centers do not
[194]
have residency requirements,
[196]
a picture ID from any state will work.
[199]
Acceptable forms of ID include:
[202]
Driver's license, employer
identification card with photo,
[207]
school identification card with a photo,
[210]
state identification card,
military identification
[215]
with a photo, voter
identification with photo,
[219]
which are often times used
by many foreign countries.
[223]
A visa, passport, or
national identification card
[227]
with a photo.
[229]
Acceptable proof of Social Security
[231]
and ITIN numbers include,
an original or copy
[235]
of a Social Security card, letter from the
[238]
Social Security
Administration with your full
[240]
Social Security number printed.
[243]
Form SSA-1099, a Medicare
card with your full
[248]
Social Security number
followed by the letter "A."
[252]
An original or copy of an
IRS-issued ITIN card or letter.
[257]
If documentation to validate
the Social Security number
[260]
cannot be presented, we will
prepare their tax return
[264]
if the tax return was electronically filed
[267]
using our tax centers in
the previous three years,
[270]
and a manager can verify
that their tax return
[274]
was accepted by the IRS.
[276]
After proof of identification
has been confirmed
[279]
for everyone on the tax return,
[282]
you may continue the intake interview.
