Life can get busy, and tax season can sneak up on us before we know it. To ensure a smooth tax-filing process, it’s essential to stay organized and informed. Whether you’re a seasoned filer or new to the process, here’s a guide to help you navigate through tax preparation.

Important Documents

Make sure you have all the necessary documents on hand, including W-2s, 1099 forms from investment companies, Form W-4, Form 1098 for Mortgage Interest, and more.

Important Numbers

Double-check your social security number, routing numbers, and account numbers to avoid delays in processing your return.

Your Signature

Don’t forget to sign your tax return, whether you’re filing electronically or on paper. It’s a simple step that can be easily overlooked.

The Deadline To File

Mark April 15th on your calendar—the deadline for filing your 2023 taxes. If you need more time, consider filing for an extension before the deadline.
