Denver Tax Return Help For First-Time Filers
February 11, 2021
Tax filing season can be a stressful time for any individual, but first-time filers may face even more angst about completing a return. The excitement about landing a position and earning your own income can be quickly erased when you begin receiving a paycheck and realize the amount you make and what you bring home differ - sometimes considerably. This same feeling has the potential to arise when filling out your tax return in order to report the preceding year’s earnings, but it doesn’t have to be this way.
By understanding your withholdings and planning throughout the year, depending on your job, steps can be made to ensure that the tax you are responsible for is being paid. Instead of being stuck with a big bill, many first time filers will receive a refund. In fact, a majority of Americans receive tax refunds but there are still a few tips for first-time filers to consider.
Gather Your Information
Begin collecting the necessary forms for filing as early as possible. Whether it be through the mail as a W-2 arrives or receipts over the year, keeping a file dedicated to anything with a potential influence on your tax return can be extremely helpful.Â
Dependent Status
Ensuring that you cannot be claimed as a dependent by someone else is important for both involved parties when filing a return, since anyone who files on their own may not be reported by another individual or couple. Dependents typically received some assistance from the claiming party, but if you supported yourself throughout the majority of the year then filing your own return is likely the correct move.
Filing Status
Once you’ve determined that taxes need to be filed, the status of your return may also be in question. Most first-time filers will likely choose SINGLE, but some could be MARRIED FILING JOINTLY/SEPARATELY, or HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD. Your personal situation will determine which status is appropriate for your return.Â
Ask for Assistance
Seeking help from a professional could also help to reduce any stress involved during the filing process. Not only will you have someone there to answer all of your questions but they can also assist in making sure that you are receiving any available credits and deductions that are due.
