Before you file your tax return, find out if any of the new tax laws will make a difference for you personally. The first thing I would do is make a list. I have my “to do” list with me at all times and preparing to file your tax return certainly requires a “to do” list. Schedule 1040 forms are used by most tax filers.
Tips for Preparing to File a Tax Return
Gather all of the necessary documents and have them right at your disposal. You will need your W2 tax forms from your employer, 1099 forms, receipts, deduction receipts, and all of the other documentation-type papers.
Electronic Tax Filing is Here to Stay
Don’t be afraid to e-file. If you e-file, the math calculations will be checked for you. Mathematical errors make the top ten lists of tax mistakes. Of course direct deposit will get you your refund in about half the time a paper return would take. Did you know two out of three taxpayers use e-file now?
Speaking of e-file reminds me of free file. If you make $57,000 or less, you may be able to file your tax return for free and have the tax preparation done for free.

Think about all of your filing options before you decide. You can prepare your tax forms yourself on paper. You can go to a tax preparer. You can also use online tax software like TurboTax Online. There are also other online tax companies.
