As experts in all things taxes, a question we are often asked is:
When’s the best time to file my taxes?
The short answer is: before the deadline [laughing emoji]
Joking aside, if you wait too long to file, you could miss the deadline and set yourself up for late penalties.
On the other hand, if you file too early, you might miss some important information, such as a deductible you qualify for.
That’s why we recommend that you start preparing for tax season in January. This will ensure that you’re on top of all the necessary requirements, and that you have adequate time to get organized.
When it comes to actually filing your taxes, some times are better than others.
For instance, if you expect a refund or your return is straightforward, it might be in your best interest to file as soon as you receive the paperwork.
If you have a complicated return, you should probably wait to make sure that you have all the necessary paperwork and that the information is correct.
