ARE YOU READY TO FILE THOSE TAXES

Most taxpayers are chomping at the bit, ready for all those W-2's to arrive so they can get there taxes done. Fielded several calls tonight with anxious taxpayers checking to see if they could file with just there last pay stub. Everybody is in the same boat, times are tough and everyone is short on cash.

Before you make that trip to the tax office, make sure you have all your W-2's, 1099's if you worked as and independent contractor. If you have money in a savings account, bring that interest statement along. Please don't forget the children's social security cards and date of birth, you would be amazed at the number of rejections we get just because the names, birth dates and social security numbers don't match what the Social Security Administration has on file.

Just as a reminder for those new parents out there, if you've just had a child, your child can not be claimed as a dependent without a social security number. If you haven't received their card, contact the Social Security Administration and ask for a print out with the number on it.

If you own your home, there's mortgage interest and real estate tax that can be claimed. How about the drug store, did you get a list of the medication that you brought in 2007? And charitable contributions, do you have receipts, bring them along. Now you better call and make an appointment, the next two weeks are going to be busy with folks like you, ready for that refund.

Better yet, let your tax professional do them for you. So many people cause themselves problems by doing their own returns.

There is no worse a feeling than owing the IRS come tax season. The below website offers a free consultation at absolutely no cost. I found it very helpful. They need you to fill up a simple registration form for availing free consultation.

Financial problems have long been a trouble area in many marriages and the current economic crisis is stretching even more people to the emotional breaking point. The
resulting frustration can certainly take a toll on marriages which is why it's important to have financial discussions before walking down the aisle.
