You are the tax accountant for the Brits family. Your tax manager
has given you the Brits’ pertinent personal information and relevant
source documents and you are now ready to prepare their 2018 individual
income tax return.
Your tax manager has informed you that the list of Tax Forms you have
been provided is fully relevant and complete (i.e. you will need every
file provided within the Tax Forms section, and you will not need to
prepare any tax form not included within the Tax Forms section).
Note: Tax accounting is a team sport, and in practice, tax return
preparers receive guidance and support from their managers and peers.
If you find yourself spinning your wheels or simply unsure if you’re on
the right track, you will be able to proactively request guidance and
support from your instructor and fellow classmates using the Open Forum
discussion for this Midterm Project. Your instructor may also use the Open Forum
to periodically suggest helpful tips and tricks, so you should read
through the open forum discussion posts as you prepare the Brits’ tax
return.
