Tips to Avoid Problems with the IRS

Organize your documents in advance: Gather your W-2s, 1099s, receipts, and all other financial records before tax season begins. Keeping everything in order will help you file on time and avoid last-minute stress.

File your tax return on time: Submitting your tax return by the deadline prevents penalties and interest charges. Filing early also reduces the risk of identity theft related to tax fraud.

Consider making estimated tax payments: If you’re self-employed or receive income not subject to withholding, making quarterly estimated tax payments will help you avoid surprises in April and prevent penalties from the IRS.

Keep track of deductible expenses: If you’re eligible for deductions (such as business expenses, medical costs, or education-related expenses), maintain detailed records to maximize your tax benefits and reduce your tax liability.

Ensure accurate tax withholding: If you’re a salaried employee, review your W-4 form annually to ensure your withholding matches your actual tax liability. This prevents owing unexpected taxes at the end of the year.

Seek professional advice: Tax laws change frequently, and mistakes can be costly. At CORTACC, we help you stay compliant with tax regulations, minimize your tax burden, and avoid unnecessary risks with the IRS.
