The tax filing deadline is still months away, but that doesn’t mean you should procrastinate. Not only will taking care of your tax preparation early spare you a lot of stress and anxiety, but it will also reduce your liability and prevent potentially serious problems with the IRS. Below are just a few reasons to schedule an appointment with a tax preparation expert as soon as possible.

Reasons to File Your Taxes Early

1. You’ll Get Your Refund Faster

If you’re expecting a sizable refund this year, you’ll naturally want to be near the front of the line. The IRS processes returns in the order in which they’re received, so the sooner you submit yours, the faster you’ll get your refund. Because many people wait until the last minute to file, avoiding the tax day rush will also result in quicker processing.

2. You’ll Have Time to Fix Problems

3. Early Tax Preparation Prevents Identity Theft

If they get their hands on your Social Security Number, identity thieves can file a false tax return and actually steal your refund. Getting your returns filed as soon as possible will help prevent tax identity theft since the IRS will just kick back any duplicate returns.
