It’s only January, even when it’s already two weeks into the month now, but that still means that it’s practically tax season!
You heard right, with April 15th almost specifically four months away, now is the time to start filing that 1040 Form.
The time has come to get all your documents together.
Now is the time to stop by your accountant, or just create it yourself and get everything over with already – now!

Or procrastinate at your own risk.
Most variations of the 1040 Form are really easy to handle on your own, unless you own a fat and complex investment portfolio or something of the sort, including real estate and so forth.
But of course the whole thing is burdensome to begin with, which is why even flawlessly poor people go to the trouble and expense of hiring somebody else to prepare their returns for them!

But procrastination is a dangerous thing with regards to the government’s money.
You could be fined and/or (and note how that’s “and/or” – not merely one or the other, but [rather] possibly both!) imprisoned for being late.
It’s happened to others; why not you?
Seriously, the 1040 Form is so simple to do, usually, that it’s the height of stupidity to cover tax preparation that can cost from fifteen to thirty percent of your anticipated refund!

That’s not even talking about the additional cost of filing electronically – which is free, actually, for those making below twenty-five thousand dollars a year if done through a third-party website associated with the IRS.
It’s amazing how much money can be created filling out people’s tax forms for them!
Even charging just a “discount” rate of thirty to fifty dollars a pop with a client base of just ten to twenty people, that’s between three hundred to a thousand dollars in a week – for what might not even amount to ten hours of work altogether!
