REVIEW YOUR PAST RETURNS
Take a moment to review your previous year’s return, or even the last several years. This will also tie into your mental preparation for tax season, as well as help you prepare for possible upcoming costs.
CHECK YOUR CREDIT SCORE
Anytime you prepare for a financial event, such as making a large purchase, taking out a loan, and yes, filing your taxes, you should check your credit. Then you’ll know where you stand or if you should begin work on credit repair.
