| Use a Kleenex Box for Storing Receipts
|
|
I am a very disorganized person, so, during the year, I stuff all my bills, receipts, and other papers needed for income taxes into an empty Kleenex box. Then I don't have to hunt for them all over the house.

| Organize Tax Records With an Accordion File
|
|
Tax records were always a problem for me. I now use an accordion file folder with 12 slots. I use one for each month. I keep it next to my computer since I do most of my bills on line.

| Energy Tax Credits Are Back!
|
|
By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh
|
 The energy tax credits are back! Earned credits for Energy Star home improvements expired last year, but they have been reenergized for 2009 and 2010. Now, home improvements that create more efficient energy use can rack up nicely sized deductibles on next year's taxes.

| Prepare for Tax Time
|
 Tax Time...hate it. However, there are a few things I do to prepare. Start only when feeling sharp, refreshed, and clear headed. If there are errors, it will only delay that return you need so badly.

| Getting Ready for Tax Season
|
|
During the year keep a running tab on how much you have spent on all medical costs including prescriptions, doctor visits, dental visits, co-pays etc. I also keep my statements and receipts together with this list in a folder. At the end of the year, you already have a total without any additional work.

| Organizing Tax Season
|
|
Every January I set up a new manila folder and mark it with the year. Then every time I have a receipt or statement I need to save, I just put it in the folder. Come tax season all the paperwork is in one place.

| Calculate The Correct Withholding For Next Year's Taxes
|
|
Did you get a big refund or owe a big tax bill April 15th of this year? If so, now is the time to adjust the amount of taxes withheld from your paycheck. Ideally, you want to get your tax bill or refund as close to zero as possible. Having the wrong amount withheld from your paycheck can lead to costly personal-finance mistakes. Calculate the proper withholdings to avoid a large refund or payment to the IRS.

By Kelly Ann Butterbaugh
|
 If you're running a personal business, whether you're selling products for another company in home parties, you sell homemade products on-line, or you're a freelance writer or photographer like me, you need to keep close fiscal records for each year's income tax. Keep track of both your earnings and your deductions, and save a receipt for everything.
