Tax Season Begins January 27, 2025 – Start Gathering Your Documents Now!

Tax season officially kicks off on January 27, 2025. While this date might still seem a bit down the road, preparing early is the key to a smooth filing process. By starting now, you’ll avoid the stress of last-minute scrambling and set yourself up for a timely and accurate return.

Here’s how you can get a head start:

Collect all necessary paperwork: W-2s, 1099s, and any other income statements should be top priorities. Don’t forget records of deductible expenses, charitable donations, or investment-related documents.

Organize your financial records: Gather receipts, statements, and any proof of credits or deductions you plan to claim. Keeping these in order now saves you time and ensures nothing important is overlooked.

Consider changes in your financial situation: If you’ve had a significant life event—such as marriage, starting a new business, or buying a home—ensure you have the right documentation ready.

Starting early not only helps you meet deadlines but also gives you the chance to address any questions or discrepancies ahead of time. Tax season doesn’t have to be stressful when you’re well-prepared. Let’s tackle it together!
