First time filing taxes, what is needed.

As a tax firm, one of our main goals is to make the process of filing taxes as smooth and stress-free as possible for our clients, especially for those who are filing for the first time. Here are a few tips we recommend to help make your first time filing taxes a success:

1. Gather all necessary documents: To file your taxes, you will need certain documents such as a W-2 form from your employer, any 1099 forms for any freelance or gig work you may have done, and any other relevant tax documents. Make sure you have all of these documents on hand before you begin the process.

2. Determine your filing status: Your filing status is used to determine your tax rate and the amount of your standard deduction. There are five different filing statuses: single, married filing jointly, married filing separately, head of household, and qualifying widow(er) with dependent child. Make sure you choose the correct filing status for your situation.

3. Choose the right tax form: There are several different tax forms to choose from, including the 1040, 1040EZ, and 1040A. The form you choose will depend on your individual circumstances, such as your income level and whether you have dependents. It's important to choose the right form to ensure that you are accurately reporting your income and receiving all of the deductions and credits you are entitled to.

4. Consider hiring a tax professional: Filing taxes for the first time can be overwhelming, especially if you are not familiar with the process. Consider hiring a tax professional, such as an accountant or a tax attorney, to help you navigate the process and ensure that your taxes are filed accurately and on time.

5. Take advantage of available credits and deductions: There are many credits and deductions available that can help lower your tax bill. These include credits for education, childcare expenses, and energy-efficient home improvements, as well as deductions for charitable donations and home office expenses. Make sure to take advantage of these credits and deductions to reduce your tax liability.
