🌿 Simple tips to make tax season easier
1. Start a “Tax Folder” early
Create a simple folder (digital or paper) for all tax documents as they come in — W-2s, 1099s, mortgage statements, and receipts.
Why it helps:
- âś” Prevents last-minute scrambling
- âś” Reduces missing documents
- âś” Speeds up your filing appointment
2. Gather your ID & social security cards
Make sure you have:
- Valid photo ID
- Social Security cards for everyone on the return
- Correct spelling of names
Why it matters: Even small mismatches can delay e-filing.
3. If you’re self-employed, track income & expenses
For gig workers and small business owners, keeping basic records makes a huge difference. Simple starter tip: Keep a running list of: Income received, Business expenses, Mileage (if applicable). You don’t need perfect books — just organized information.
4. Don’t guess on your refund
Refunds change year to year based on income, withholding, and life changes. Instead of guessing, have your numbers reviewed so you know what to expect. Pro tip: A quick Tax Snapshot review can help prevent surprises next season.
5. Book early when possible
Appointments fill quickly during peak season. Booking early gives you: âś” More flexible scheduling, âś” Time to gather missing documents, âś” Less last-minute stress.
6. Ask questions — that’s what we’re here for
If something feels confusing, you’re not alone. The best tax experience happens when you feel comfortable asking questions and understanding your return. At Southern SG Tax Co., our goal is to replace confusion with clarity — every single time.
