• a copy of last year’s tax return (if available)

• picture ID (required)

• social security cards for all persons claimed on the tax return

• W-2 forms, 1099 and 1098 forms

• unemployment compensation statements

• retirement income forms

• child care expenses (including provider name, address and employer number)
