Income tax time is right around the corner so planning ahead is always a good idea. I am the worst for running around at the last minute looking for my receipts and papework.
If you haven't already start a filing system and as your bills and receipts come in get in the habit of placing them in the same place all the time. I was forever leaving them all over the house until I started a system.
Remember to save everything, you never know what you are going to need or use at tax time. If you are running a home based business or work from your home remember to save all of your receipts and bills. You can get deductions for heating, property taxes and expenses like gas, meals and even safety equipment. Save everything.
Try to get at them early so you have time to double check things over or even to a professional if you need to. There is nothing worse than having to rush at the last minute and wondering if you have made mistakes on your return.
