Every year, United States citizens have to send their Tax Return to the IRS in order to comply with their obligation as taxpayers. The Tax Season has limited dates and as soon as it starts we can send all the necessary documentation, but first we must do some actions to be prepared.
Not having all the documentation ready before the Tax Season starts can be a problem, since the IRS will check every single piece of information we send. For that reason, if we do not prepare our Tax Return thoroughly, we may make some mistakes.
Keeping in mind that there are several key elements before sending the Tax Return to the IRS, we can know which are the most common mistakes and avoid them. At the end of the day, making mistakes on the Tax Return can cause us to get the Tax Refund later and, in addition, can cause us not to have a stimulus check with our taxes at the end.
Key points to prepare the IRS Tax Return
We should never forget that sending the Tax Return is mandatory in most cases. There are a few exceptions, but the vast majority of United States citizens are required to file a Tax Return every year, so failure to do so may even result in a penalty from the IRS.

Let’s look at several key points to keep in mind before sending the Tax Return to the IRS:
- We must gather all the necessary documents. Any document related to our taxes must be included in our Tax Return. We must not forget any of them.
- Double check all the information. Regardless of whether we send the Tax Return electronically or physically, we must check all the information at all times.
- Do not forget the Tax Credits. Some Tax Credits can help us to have some extra money, so we should check them.
- Send the documentation to the IRS as soon as possible. It is not a good idea to wait until the last minute to send the documentation. The sooner we send it, the sooner we will have the Tax Refund available.
- Consult in case of doubts. If we have doubts, there are professionals who can help us to manage our documentation. However, remember that it is important that this professional is accredited, since there are many scams related to the Tax Return.
January 27th, 2025 will be the day when the Tax Season opens, so we must be attentive to send our documentation as soon as possible. Likewise, it is also important to think that if we do the whole process electronically we will have the money sooner in our current account.
