Why include only the last 4 of SSN?

Defense-in-depth — if the file is later mishandled, exposing only the last 4 reduces risk vs printing the full SSN. The IRS already has your full SSN on the return itself.

What document order should I use?

Convention: Form 1040 first, then schedules in number order (Schedule A, B, C...), then forms (8606, 8889...), then W-2s and 1099s, then receipts/worksheets last.

Are the files uploaded?

No — merging happens in your browser via pdf-lib. Sensitive tax data never leaves your device.

How does the Tax Return Package Builder work?

Bundle your main tax return PDF (1040, 1040-SR) with every supporting form / schedule / attachment / receipt into a single PDF that opens with an auto-generated table-of-contents cover sheet. The cover lists each document by name with its page range in the merged output, plus filer name, tax year, and last-four SSN if you supply them. Useful for filing copies, audit-trail packages you hand to your CPA, or just keeping a tidy year-end record. The PDFs are not modified — just merged with a cover sheet on top. Drop the main return first, then attachments in the order you want them indexed.

🔒 Security & Privacy

All processing happens on your device. Your files never leave your browser, never touch our servers, and are not stored anywhere. Close the tab and the file is gone.
