Hi All,
While the tax deadline - Wednesday, April 15th - is just about 6 weeks away, it is never too early to start your taxes. Problems, unexpected issues or questions or other situation might arise that can make every day count as the tax deadline looms.
That said, here are a few links to help you get started on your taxes. Note that all links are free and accessible via the web.
For your federal tax return a must see site is the I
RS website - which can be found by
clicking on this link. Some of the excellent features on the IRS website include the ability to print out current year and
prior year tax forms, the ability to download (and read) instructions for various
tax forms/publications and to find out about
your tax refund status.
As you know, New York State also needs their share of the tax pie from taxpayers. As a result, the
New York State Department of Taxation and Finance is also a great place to start any tax research that you might have with current year tax questions or problems.
Click on this link to check your refund status. Click on this link to
find New York State tax forms by form number. Use this link to
find tax forms by tax type. If you have any questions about your New York State Tax return,
you can click on this link (which goes to the Taxpayer Answer Center).
Finally, an excellent third-party resource that all taxpayers should know about is
JK Lasser's website.
This next link goes to the
JK Lasser 'Articles' site - where a multitude of articles and suggestions are available to taxpayers for free. An excellent link goes to their
'Getting Ready For 2015' page. This next link goes to the
JK Lasser 'Personal' site for individual taxpayers.
Enjoy the links and hopefully your tax refunds will be huge this year!
Regards,
Stu
