Tax Return Checklist

Tax Return Checklist

If you are preparing your own tax returns this year, take note.  Failing to sign in the correct places, misspelling a dependant’s name or a calculation error may lead to delayed refunds or worse, penalties and interested.  Do not rely on a software program to do all of the work for you when you are preparing your tax returns this year.  You must review each page to ensure that the information printed on those pages is accurate and correct.  Failing to double-check your tax return can cost you more than just a headache.

FindLaw has a great tax return checklist that can help you avoid mistakes to get your tax refunds faster and avoid headaches that come from filing incorrect tax returns.
