BFS Newsletter #82 - Saving Time on Taxes

Hi <<First Name>>!  If you are filing in the USA, there is about a month left to send in your taxes.  Thanks to late paperwork every year, hubby usually does our taxes in early March.  But these weekends have been packed, so we are aiming to have them completed March 24th.  Here are a few ways to hopefully make the process faster.

• Keep excellent records if you own your own business or have a side hobby job.
• Make a checklist of what forms you will need.
• Keep all tax forms in a single pile together that is super easy to find.
• If you do your taxes yourself, do them in progression.  Start at the top of the 1040 and anytime you have to go to another form, fill it out completely, then come back to the 1040 and continue this way until you are finished.  My husband says this ensures that you complete all necessary forms and helps you set a rythym.
