Perhaps some of us have to prepare our own taxes or at least gather up all of the paperwork for someone else to do it. If you have discovered something that helped you, plese share.
I'll give my tip. My family must take quite a bit of medication for chronic health issues. I used to keep all of the receipts and painstakingly go through all those receipts for health expenses to record on the long form. My dad mentioned that I could contact the pharmacy and they will send a printout of the year's receipts for each person in the family. (Some pharmacies now have this online as well, and you may need to sign a release, so check for specifics with your pharmacy if you wish to utilize this service.)
