PREPARE FOR TAX SEASON 2018
Here are 10 ways to get a jump start on your taxes now:
• Figure out which forms you’ll need: There are many different
tax forms for different financial situations. If you’re unsure
which tax form to use, visit the IRS’s website or consult a
professional.
• Keep all receipts in the same place: If you’re someone who
itemizes deductions, it is important to store all of your receipts
together in the same place. If you lose any, it could cost you.
• Store all tax returns together: Since we often have to reference
the previous year’s return when preparing the current one, it’s
a good idea to make sure you store them all in the same place.
• Review/revise your W-4: If you’ve experienced any life
changes from the previous year (adding or losing any family
members), ask your employer if you can review your W-4. The
IRS recommends doing this every year.
• Do your research: If you plan to do your taxes on your own,
make sure you educate yourself about the deductions you’re
entitled to. If you plan to hire someone, check around and
make sure they’re reputable.
• Save your money: Unless you fill out the 1040EZ form and mail
it in yourself, it’s going to cost you money to file your taxes.
• Check your deductions: If you’ve had any major life events
this year, you may be entitled to some sizable deductions.
It’s a good idea to research all possible deductions to avoid
overpaying your taxes.
• Track all charitable donations: Charitable donations are taxdeductible,
so if you have any monthly or one-off donations,
make sure to keep track so that you can deduct these expenses
from your taxes.
