Blog: Prepare Your Own Taxes! When preparing and filing your return, be sure to:
* E-file. It’s secure, convenient and you’ll receive confirmation when the IRS has processed your return.
* For the fastest refund, e-file and choose direct deposit.
* Before filing, double check Social Security numbers, bank account numbers,
and spelling of names. Misspelled and wrongly typed numbers and names are among
the most common mistakes made on returns.
* File and pay by the April 15, 2013 deadline to avoid IRS penalties and interest. If you file for a 6-month automatic extension, remember any balance is still due by April 15.
* Don’t procrastinate. Rushing can lead to costly mistakes.
