It’s only January, even when it’s already two weeks into the month now, but that still means that it’s nearly tax season!
You heard right, with April 15th almost exactly four months away, now is the time to start filing that 1040 Form.
Now is the time to get all of your documents together.
Now is the time to pay a visit to your accountant, or just create it yourself and get everything over with already – now!
Or procrastinate at your own risk.
Most variations of the 1040 Form are really easy to handle yourself, unless you own a fat and difficult investment portfolio or something of this sort, including real estate and so forth.
But of course the whole thing is tedious to begin with, which is why even flawlessly poor people go to the trouble and expense of hiring another person to prepare their returns for them!
But procrastination is a dangerous thing in relation to the government’s money.
You can be fined and/or (and note how that’s “and/or” – not simply one or the other, but [rather] possibly both!) locked up for being late.
It’s happened to others; why not you?
Seriously, the 1040 Form is so easy to do, usually, that it’s the height of stupidity to cover tax preparation that can cost from fifteen to thirty percent of your anticipated refund!
That’s not even mentioning the excess cost of filing electronically – which is free, actually, for those making less than twenty-five thousand dollars a year if completed through a third-party website associated with the IRS.
It’s amazing how much money can be created filling out people’s tax forms for them!
Even charging just a “discount” rate of thirty to fifty dollars a pop with a client base of simply ten to twenty people, that’s between three hundred to a thousand dollars in a week – for what might not even amount to ten hours of work overall!
