Module 6 — Other Income Types

Most clients have more than one type of income. This module teaches you to find it, identify it, and know what to do with it.

📋 From the Desk of Ralph Martinez
By the time a client gets to their second tax appointment with us, I know what to expect. The W-2 is on the table. But there’s often something else — a bank interest statement, a 1099 from Social Security, maybe a casino win slip. New preparers focus on the W-2 and miss everything else. Module 6 fixes that. Veronica is going to walk you through the forms you’ll see on most returns that aren’t a W-2 and aren’t a Schedule C.
