To arrive at your total deductibles you will also require your 1098s. Similarly, to get an idea of your total incomes you will require all your W-2s together (for your wages) as well as your 1099s (to report your interest and dividends). Once you have the necessary receipts methodically kept, arriving at a total of your incomes and deductions becomes easy. Now you are ready to file for your income tax and also get your refunds.
