10 Tips for Doing Your Taxes Yourself

KNOW THE FILING DEADLINE

We all have April 15 burned in our brains as the last day to file taxes. But if that date falls on a weekend or a holiday the due date can be different by a couple of days. Of course, this is always to the taxpayer’s advantage, as no calendar occurrence move the due date prior to April 15 in any year. If the date is different it will always be later than April 15. For example, the filing deadline this year is April 16, 2018.
