Tax Time Tip

Many people have just received their W-2s during this last week of January. To make things easier when you fill out your tax forms, start a special file or folder for all tax related paperwork and statements that you are getting in the mail now.

Having a distinct location for these tax-related papers will make them easier to find and access between now and April 15th. If you have an accountant or tax preparer that assists you with your taxes, you may want to schedule an appointment now, so that you have more choice and control over the date or time of the meeting. As tax day nears, it may be hard to get an appointment that will work with your schedule.
