Today  we are talking  taxes which some of you dread, but know that organization is the key!!  

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Gather all the annual tax documents you've received that record your taxable income and deductible expenses, most of which will arrive by the end of January.
  • Collect all your receipts and organize them by category if you itemize your deductions.
  • You don't need to bother with the receipts if you use the standard deduction.
  • Dig out a copy of last year's taxes for reference.

The better organized your records are, the less time it will take a preparer or you to process your taxes. 
 For more tips, follow us in our Koffee Chitchat Facebook group
