TIPS & REMINDERS FOR

Tax Season

1. Proofread, proofread, proofread. Some of the most common errors made on electronic tax filings are misspelled names and transposed Social Security numbers. Errors like this are more common when you are rushing to file at the last minute. Fill out your forms ahead of the filing deadline so you have time to review them carefully before you submit them. 
2. Check your math. If you file on paper, double-check your math before you mail your return. If you file electronically, the software will do the calculations for you, but they’ll only be right if you entered the numbers correctly in the first place, so double-check all the dollar amounts you enter. 
3. Sign the form. Your return – and thus refund, if you are owed one – will be delayed if you don’t sign your paper return. If you e-file, you need to “sign” electronically by providing a PIN or last year’s adjusted gross income (AGI). If you use last year’s return as a guide when preparing this year’s forms, keep it handy after you’ve finished your return so you can use it to sign your next return when you file. 
4. Don’t miss deductions and credits. Many filers don’t realize they may be eligible to deduct job search expenses, some costs of job-related moves, portions of the student loan interest they paid, medical costs or other deductible expenses. Credits for education expenses are also often missed.
