Quick Facts

Taxpayers working with a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) or Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) program fill it out, usually with a volunteer.
It captures name, address, filing status, dependents, income sources, deductions, credits, and any special circumstances like foreign income or disaster losses.
The form is completed at the start of the VITA/TCE interview, before the preparer generates the final 1040. It is not filed with the IRS.
The completed sheet stays with the VITA/TCE site or tax professional. It is never mailed to the IRS unless the site requests a copy for record‑keeping.
Errors in the interview sheet can cause incorrect entries on the 1040, leading to processing delays, penalties, or loss of credits.
1. Gather personal ID, Social Security numbers, and prior year return. 2. Answer each question on the form, noting any blanks as “N/A.” 3. Review totals for wages, interest, and deductions. 4. Sign and date the form before handing it to the volunteer.
