- Leaving cents in dollar amounts: Round amounts to the nearest whole dollar.
- Forgetting Schedule M1W: You must include it when you file your return.
- Sending documents you should keep: Do not send Forms W-2, 1099, or W-2G. Keep them with your tax records.
- Putting W-2G withholding with W-2 withholding: Report Forms W-2G on line 2, with additional forms on line 6, rather than with Forms W-2.
