Tax Tip: Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute to File Your Return

Here are some good reasons not to procrastinate any longer in the filing of your 2007 tax return.

1) Get Your Refund on the Way. If you are entitled to a refund, why not get the ball rolling? The government is not going to pay you interest, so why are you giving them an interest free loan?

2) Plan For Your Payment. Even if you own taxes, you can go ahead and file your return now so that you can prepare for the amount you have to pay. Regardless of the date you file the return, the actual cash payment is still due April 15th.

3) Contribute your refund to your IRA. If you are able to make a contribution to a traditional IRA, you have until April 15th to make that contribution. You can file your taxes early, you may receive your refund (if you are due a refund) in time to help fund your IRA.

4) Plan Your 2008 Estimated Tax Requirements If you are one of the lucky individuals that is required to submit estimated tax payments to the IRS, you will know the amount of your required payment to that you can plan for it. It is due on April 15th!
