Tax Preparation 2012

Spaces January 15, 2012
Tax preparation season is upon us.  Now is the time to create a Taxes 2011 folder for all the pieces that come in the mail and to collect the information you will need to fill out your return.  Home ownership provides you with deductable mortgage interest and property taxes.  If you bought or sold real estate, or refinanced, this past year, pull out the HUD or RESPA form that was part of your closing documents and provide that to your tax preparer.  Consult with a CPA or tax professional for more details on this and deductions for the new child in the family, education expenses and charitable donations.  As with everything supporting documentation is very helpful.
