People have their reasons for filing late in the season but waiting until the last minute is not without risk. For taxpayers with a tax liability, missing the due date means owing late filing penalties and interest. For those expecting a refund, it means additional time without the money they deserve.
"Simple mistakes are easy to commit under pressure and can cause your refund to be delayed," says Nicole Lapin, personal finance expert and, The New York Times best-selling author. "Avoid tax-panic at the deadline and get pumped to fight for your money now."
Tips for Filing Last-Minute
As tax season draws to a close, time is of the essence for anyone who hasn't filed already. Lapin has a few essential tips to help these individuals save time and ensure accuracy on their return.
1. Get organized.
"You should have all of your forms and tax documents in hand by the end of February or mid-March at the latest. The sooner you file, the faster you can enjoy your refund," says Lapin "and the sooner you can check taxes off your to-do list."
2. File online.
"Filing your taxes doesn't have to consume you. TaxSlayer makes the process quick and easy to understand, and you'll know if your return was accepted within just 48 hours," says Lapin.
3. Avoid rushed mistakes.
"The tax laws changed this year. That means you could be eligible for more tax breaks than you realize," Lapin says. "Be thorough when you are entering your tax information. It's your money – you deserve every dollar."
