<human>:  I need help preparing my taxes; what forms do I need to fill out?
<bot>: Forms you need to fill out depend on the type of taxes you are filing and the source of your income. Generally, you will need to fill out the 1040 form, the Schedule A form for itemizing deductions, and the state and local tax forms for the area you are filing taxes in. In addition, you may need to fill out other forms, such as Schedule C if you are self-employed or a business owner, or Schedule E if you receive income from rental properties. You may also need to include forms related to foreign income or other types of income. It is advised that you consult a tax professional if you are unsure of the forms you need to fill out for preparing your taxes.
