TAX TIME TIPS
It’s that time of the year again. The income tax filing season has begun and important tax documents should be arriving in the mail. Even though your return is not due until April 15, 2025 getting an early start will make filing easier. Here are tips that will help your tax filing process run smoother than ever this year.
Start gathering your records - Round up any documents or forms you’ll need when filing your taxes: receipts, canceled checks and other documents that support income or deductions you’re claiming on your return.
Be on the lookout - W-2s and 1099s will be coming soon; you’ll need these to file your tax return.
Consider Direct Deposit - If you elect to have your refund directly deposited into your bank account, you’ll receive it faster than waiting for a paper check.
Don’t panic! - If you run into a problem, remember I am here to help.
