It’s a new year, which means it is time to prepare for filing your taxes from 2019. If you are expecting a tax return in 2020, try not to procrastinate and start gathering your tax information together as soon as you so you can cash that refund check.

By the end of January, your employers, banks, investment ventures, and others with whom you do business with should be providing all the tax documents that you need to file your return. For each document you receive, check that the information matches your own records and ensure you understand if they are accurate. Some of these documents may help you save money or increase your overall return, so it is important you gather all necessary documents.  Once tax season is over, you will be grateful you were so prepared to get your return!
