			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s that time of year again&#8230;Tax Time &#8211; don&#8217;t put off getting ready for it, because before you know it April 15th will be here.</p>
<p>Your <a title="Local Accountant, CPA, Tax Preparer" href="http://www.shoplincolnway.com/home/cpa-frankfort-il.html" target="_blank">Local Accountant, CPA, or Tax Preparer in Frankfort, New Lenox, or Mokena</a> is ready to provide you up-to-date Tax Advice &amp; Tax Preparaton Service.</p>
<p>Look through our list of providers and don&#8217;t pay any more in taxes than you have to&#8230;</p>
<h3>The IRS has just released the Top Ten Tax Time Tips:</h3>
<p><strong>1. Gather your records…now</strong>! It’s never too early to start getting together any documents or forms you’ll need when filing your taxes: receipts, canceled checks, and other documents that support an item of income or a deduction you’re taking on your return. Also, be on the lookout for W-2s and 1099s, coming soon from your employer.</p>
<p><strong>2. Find your forms</strong>. Whether you file a 1040 or 1040-EZ, you can download all IRS forms and publications on our Web site, IRS.gov.</p>
<p><strong>3. Do a little research</strong>. Check out Publication 17 on IRS.gov. It’s a comprehensive collection of information for taxpayers highlighting everything you’ll need to know when filing your return. Review Pub 17 to ensure you’re taking all credits and deductions for which you’re eligible.</p>
<p><strong>4.</strong> <strong>Think ahead to how you’ll file.</strong> Will you prepare your return yourself or go to a preparer? Do you qualify to file at no cost using Free File on IRS.gov? Are you eligible for free help at an IRS office or volunteer site? Will you purchase tax preparation software or file online? There are many things to consider. So, give yourself time to weigh them all and find the option that best suits your needs.</p>
<p><strong>5.</strong> <strong>Take your time</strong>. Rushing to get your return filed increases the chance you will make a mistake and not catch it.</p>
<p><strong>6.</strong> <strong>Double-check your return</strong>. Mistakes will slow down the processing of your return. In particular, make sure all the Social Security Numbers and math calculations are correct as these are the most common errors made by taxpayers.</p>
<p><strong>7.</strong> <strong>Consider e-file</strong>. When you file electronically, the computer will handle the math calculations for you, and you will get your refund in about half the time it takes when you file a paper return.</p>
<p><strong>8.</strong> <strong>Think about Direct Deposit</strong>. If you elect to have your refund directly deposited into your bank account, you’ll receive it faster than waiting for a check by mail.</p>
<p><strong>9.</strong> <strong>Visit IRS.gov often</strong>. The official IRS Web site is a great place to find everything you’ll need to file your tax return: forms, tips, FAQs and updates on tax law changes.</p>
<p><strong>10.</strong> <strong>Relax</strong>. There’s no need to panic. If you run into a problem, remember the IRS is here to help. Try IRS.gov or call our customer service number at 800-829-1040.</p>
