As tax season gets underway individuals everywhere are preparing their important tax related documents for individual and joint filing purposes. While most people are aware of the required W-2 forms and potentially 1099 papers, in addition to various amounts of interest from bank accounts and mortgages, not everyone is knowledgeable about just what receipts are needed in order to maximize their tax deductions.

By implementing and analyzing these costs and figures an individual can sometimes lower their tax status and often be refunded variable amounts within their return for qualifying expenses. However, proof of the taken deductions must be readily available and often comes in the form of a receipt from the point of purchases made.

While different for almost every individual, the following broad ranging expenses should be properly documented and receipts kept for each throughout the year. Also, instead of having to go back through drawers of receipts in order to find what it is needed, it can also be beneficial to keep these papers separated by each of the following categories.

Medical Related Activities

If electing to itemize your tax return, a surprising amount of medical deductions are available for qualifying individuals. These include many out-of-pocket expenses to doctors, dentists, and others plus some insurance premiums, and copays for prescription drugs.

Childcare Related Activities

Most individuals who pay an outside agency or person to provide care for their dependent during the workday or anytime are eligible to receive a credit for their expenses. This credit is available until the child or dependent reaches 13 years of age.

Work Related Activities

Whether self-employed, working for someone, or a company the tax deductions available are plenty. These receipts will be needed in addition to other information, such as who attended and what business was discussed or handled - especially when dealing with qualifying expenses associated with meals and entertainment.
