For those who can’t afford a CPA to do their taxes, filing can seem like a daunting task. Thankfully, there are plenty of options available to make the process simpler. One of the most popular options is to file your taxes electronically, either through a commercial software such as TurboTax or through the IRS’s Free File Tool. By filing electronically, you can expect a faster return since it is not dependent on the mail. Plus, if you make an error, you will know right away and can resubmit.
Whether filing electronically or by mail, it’s important to make sure you have all the necessary paperwork before you start. This includes all of your income forms from the past year, such as W-2s and 1099s, as well as information about dependents and deductions, such as childcare expenses or retirement savings. Additionally, those who have been unemployed will need to include their 1099-G form.
Gathering the necessary paperwork and determining the correct forms for your tax situation can be a bit overwhelming, but thankfully you can find answers to any questions you may have on the IRS website. Once your paperwork is ready and you’ve decided how to file, you are ready to get your taxes done.
