IRS Tax Tip 2007-01; January 2, 2007
Earlier is better when it comes to working on your
taxes. Taxpayers are encouraged to get a head start on tax preparation,
especially since early filers avoid the last minute rush and get their
refunds sooner.
Here are seven easy ways to get a good jump on your
taxes long before the April deadline is here:
|
| 1. Gather your records in advance.
Make sure you have all the records you need, including W-2s and
1099s. Don’t forget to save a copy for your files.
2. Get the right forms.
They’re available around the clock on the IRS Web site, IRS.gov.
3. Take your time.
Don’t forget to leave room for a coffee break when filling out
your tax return as rushing can mean making a mistake.
4. Double-check your math and verify
all Social Security numbers.
These are among the most common errors found on tax returns.
Taking care will reduce your chance of hearing from the IRS and
speed up your refund.

| 5. Get the fastest
refund. When you file early, you receive
your refund faster. When you choose direct deposit, you receive your
refund sooner than waiting for a check.
6. E-filing is easy. E-filing catches
math problems, provides confirmation your return has been received and
gives you a faster refund.
7. Don’t panic.
If you have a problem or a question, remember the IRS is there to help.
Try the IRS Web site at IRS.gov or call the IRS customer service number
at 1-800-829-1040.
