It’s that time of the year again. Remember you must file your taxes by APRIL 15th! Here are the Internal
Revenue Service’s top 10 tips that will help your tax filing process run smoother than ever this year.
1. Gather your records - Round up any documents or forms you’ll need when filing your taxes: receipts,
canceled checks and other documents that support income or deductions you’re claiming on your return.
2. Make sure you have all your W-2s and 1099s; you’ll need these to file your tax return.
3. Use Free File - Let Free File do the hard work for you with brand-name tax software or online fillable
forms. It's available exclusively at http://www.irs.gov. Everyone can find an option to prepare their tax return
and e-file it for free. If you made $58,000 or less, you qualify for free tax software that is offered through a
private-public partnership with manufacturers. If you made more or are comfortable preparing your own tax
return, there's Free File Fillable Forms, the electronic versions of IRS paper forms. Visit www.irs.gov/freefile
to review your options.
4. Try IRS e-file - After 21 years, IRS e-file has become the safe, easy and most common way to file a tax
return. Last year, 70 percent of taxpayers - 99 million people - used IRS e-file. Starting in 2011, many tax
preparers will be required to use e-file and will explain your filing options to you. This is your chance to give
it a try. IRS e-file is approaching 1 billion returns processed safely and securely. If you owe taxes, you have
payment options to file immediately and pay by the tax deadline. Best of all, combine e-file with direct
deposit and you get your refund in as few as 10 days.
5. Consider other filing options - There are many different options for filing your tax return. You can
prepare it yourself or go to a tax preparer. You may be eligible for free face-to-face help at an IRS office or
volunteer site. Give yourself time to weigh all the different options and find the one that best suits your
needs.
6. Consider Direct Deposit - If you elect to have your refund directly deposited into your bank account,
you’ll receive it faster than waiting for a paper check.
7. Visit the IRS website again and again -The official IRS website is a great place to find everything you’ll
need to file your tax return: forms, publications, tips, answers to frequently asked questions and updates on
tax law changes.
8. Remember this number: 17 - Check out IRS Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax on the IRS
website. It’s a comprehensive collection of information for taxpayers highlighting everything you’ll need to
know when filing your return.
9. Review! Review! Review! Don’t rush. We all make mistakes when we rush. Mistakes will slow down
the processing of your return. Be sure to double-check all the Social Security Numbers and math
calculations on your return as these are the most common errors made by taxpayers.
10. Don’t panic! If you run into a problem, remember the IRS is here to help. Try http://www.irs.gov or call
toll-free at 800-829-1040.
