If you have any questions, just ask

Hi everyone,

If you run into a problem, have any questions, or get lost trying to navigate the IRS website, leave a comment for me and I will try to get your question or problem answered for you. If I don't know the answer, my boss is a phone call away, and he has been doing taxes for at least 20 years. The tax code is very complicated, it changes often, and it is easy to get wrong information. It is never too early to start preparing for your taxes.

Though the filing season is from mid-January to mid-April, all year you should pay attention to things that can affect your tax situation, as this can save you a lot of money. And last thing, and I cannot stress this enough, do not listen to any tax advice given to you, unless that person works for the IRS, is a tax attorney, or is a tax preparer. I cannot tell you how many times I have had clients come into the office and they were given totally wrong information or advice by someone, and then were mad or disappointed when presented with the correct information.

Oh yea, getting a big refund every year is a bad idea. You gave the government an interest free loan for the year. Why not take that money and invest it, so your money makes you more money?
