In the United States, tax returns are due by April 18th. How did it go for you?
Were you prepared and ready to file early? Hurray and good for you! You stayed on top of your bookkeeping throughout the year and were ready to go right away.
Did you get your returns filed, but just barely? Good for you that you were able to scrape it all together in time. There were likely items and details that were painful to find. Keep those in mind and make sure you document things well throughout this year, so that next years’ returns are simple.
Did you have to file an extension? Good for you for realizing that there was just too much missing and you needed more time to get things together. Make sure you are working on this NOW and not just putting the pain-points off until October.
Regardless of which category you fall in, realize that unless you simply love doing all the bookkeeping work on your own, there are ways to outsource some or all of it.
