As the tax deadlines get closer and closer, tax filers get more excited about the prospect of returns, more frantic about debts owed, and more anxious about the process as a whole. Whether a return is expected or an amount owed is dreaded, many of this year's tax filers will spend time filling out a form 1040 for the IRS. To make the work less grueling, filers should remember to plan ahead, pick the proper forms, and seek professional advice for any questions or concerns about their tax return.
The tax deadline can sneak up on anyone, but no one can say that they didn't have enough warning. Tax time comes around each year at the same time, and tax companies start prepping filers before the New Year. Filers should take time early to make sure that they have all the paperwork needed to file their taxes. Organizing their paperwork early leaves time to track down anything that's missing before it's time to submit the return. Putting paperwork together early also prevents having to make several appointments with the tax preparer. After organizing this year's paperwork, set up a filing system for next year's taxes. The filing system can be based on the way that this year's information was used. It will make the next year's tax time easier. As all tax preparation companies would say, it's never too early to start preparing for upcoming tax work.
Although most filers will end up using a form 1040, there are cases where a more streamlined version of the popular form can be used. Using the proper form can save filers time in preparing their returns. The form 1040EZ, for example, can be used for filers meeting certain conditions, such as a total income under $100,000, specific filing statuses, standard deductions, and others. Before starting the form 1040, filers should check to see if they are eligible to submit a form 1040EZ. Even if the filer can't use the form 1040EZ, a form 1040A may be an alternative option. Filers should give themselves a break on taxes by making sure they fill out the simplest form possible for their situation.
Nothing can take the stress out of taxes like a professional tax preparer. For any concerns on paperwork or questions about the tax returns, filers should visit their local tax preparation service and let the people there do what they've been waiting all year for.
