Entering name correctly and taking breaks are important: Start by entering name correctly, track business expenses, take breaks, and consider amortizing tax preference items for accurate tax filing
Filing taxes can be a complex and sometimes confusing process, but it's important to remember the little details that can make a big difference. When filling out your tax form, be sure to start by entering your name correctly, and take breaks when needed. For deductions, keep track of business expenses, such as a business dinner being referred to as "business lasagna." Remember, the IRS doesn't need to know about your work-from-home attire or Netflix password usage if they're dependents. Additionally, consider electing to amortize certain tax preference items over a longer period. While the specifics of tax laws and regulations may be unclear, the ultimate goal is to pay for the government services we rely on. Good luck with your taxes!
