Sacramento Tax Attorney’s Tips For Stress Free Tax Season
Tax season is creeping upon on us and your main focus should be how you can get through tax season without receiving an unbearable amount of anxiety. And one of the best ways to do that is by starting your tax season early and ending it early. But even after you properly prepare for your tax returns, having a Sacramento tax attorney help out will be more efficient.
Getting organized is key in order to best prepare for filing your taxes. You don’t want to be searching and scrounging up legal documents at the 
last minute. To avoid that, here are some simple steps to make your tax season go smoother.
1. Keep “tax-related” forms
When tax season roles around, it is common to start receiving documents that say “tax-related” on them. We highly suggest that you keep them even if you have no idea what they are. Put them in a folder and save them for when the time comes. Tax attorney in Sacramento, CA, Tax Tiger, can help decipher these documents and assist you in your crisis.
3. Legal Documents should be kept together
Documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, adoptions papers, and social security cards should all be kept together. While you may have your social security memorized, the IRS can still contact you for proof of the card. Be prepared to have them available.
Paperwork that your tax lawyer in Sacramento will want to see are:
- Rental/mortgage payments
- Legal documents and ID
- Medical/Dental expenses
- Work related expenses (if needed)
- Mileage/tolls/parking
3. Keep old tax returns
Knowing how much you made the year before is important when filing your current tax return. If you take a look on last year’s tax return, you will be able to find your income – no problem. Having 5-7 years of tax return will make your tax attorney in Sacramento a very happy camper.
4. Don’t wait!
Don’t put off doing your taxes till April! This causes unneeded stress. If you follow the above steps then you shouldn’t find yourself waiting till April. Instead you will be highly organized and ready to file no later than February.
