Mistakes to Avoid When Filing Taxes this Year

Home » Blog » Mistakes to Avoid When Filing Taxes this Year

December 1, 2015 By john

The time has come to start thinking about that dreaded April deadline. Mistakes happen every year and the IRS punishes people for these mistakes. Certain mistakes are much more common than others. Let’s go through some of the main mistakes you must be sure to avoid when filing taxes this year.MonopolyIncomeTax

Not Filing at All

Don’t miss the deadline. A huge number of people do it every year. Mark down the deadline and complete as much of the work in advance as possible. If you are struggling, hand the responsibility to a tax professional.

Enter All Information Correctly

Avoiding a mistake when it comes to your social security number is critical because that is the number that connects you to your taxes. Get it wrong and your whole return goes out of the window.

Errors in Calculating Figures

The most common errors occur when it comes to making basic calculations. These math mistakes can be either intentional or accidental. Of course, if they are intentional this is tax fraud. Accidental mistakes are easily avoided by checking your figures more than once.

The Wrong Deductions

Deductions can make the issue even more complicated. If you make the wrong deductions, or you deduct an incorrect amount, you will have the IRS on your back. They may give you a refund, only to uncover something during an audit that could require a further unexpected payment to the IRS.

Mistakes are Easily Avoided

It’s easy to avoid mistakes if you’re careful. The solution is to check your figures repeatedly before submitting them. We recommend getting a professional to examine your calculations. They will soon be able to tell you if you have made any mistakes.
