Download or read book Tax Preparation for Beginners written by Instafo and published by Instafo. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Beginner’s Guide to “Tax Preparation” Welcome Newbie - who wants to prepare, reduce, and file taxes yourself... Taxes suck! They suck so bad that they might as well be called “tasses” because they truly are a pain...of a task...to keep track of, prepare, calculate, and file every year. What about hiring an accountant to do the work? Wait, did you forget about needing to stash a couple hundred bucks or more depending on how complicated your tax situation is to pay a professional, which you don’t have or don’t want to depart with? Simply put - we all hate doing taxes and, even more, giving up a portion of our hard-earned money to the Taxman. We dread them. We can’t avoid them. The penalties are there for not complying. Psst...now let us let you in on a little secret. Tax prep isn’t as perplexing as you may think. Sure, tax returns are designed with all sorts of convoluted technical wordings and footnotes to throw us, taxpayers, off from easily gaming the taxation system that funds our government and from us easily gaining the optimal tax efficiency for saving on our tax bill, because Uncle Sam does want to squeeze out every last cent. The fact of the matter is, anybody can file taxes - and for free - without ever needing to pay for an accountant or throw money at the latest popular tax software. If you have never done your own taxes before, you’re in luck. “Tax Preparation for Beginners” is precisely what the greedy Taxman hates and what you need to get you up to speed and empower you to feel confident and competent to file taxes for the first time, all by yourself. “Tax Preparation for Beginners” will guide you through: - The personal information and documentation needed upon filing your tax return - The good old-fashioned doing taxes by hand-on-paper for seniors or technophobes - The eFile way of submitting taxes directly to the IRS for free with no muss, no fuss - The convenient software to handle complex tax situations, expenses, and deductions - The safely-guarded methods nobody uses, except the rich, to pay as little to no taxes ...on top of everything else that beginners need to know. You will not only get a guiding hand on preparing taxes - but also the secret to NOT paying taxes...legally...like how the wealthy do. Alright, that might be too far of a stretch - so at the very least, lower your taxes dramatically below the standard limitation via “tax hack strategies,” which even an accountant probably doesn’t disclose upfront unless you already know how to exploit those things and bring them up. Also, shall we dare say that you might find doing taxes fun? We know! That’s likely blasphemy to associate “tax” with “fun.” Yet, there’s no denying that getting bigger than anticipated “tax refund” is always “tax fun.” Right? Fear no more of the Taxman and taxes, newbie. Now even a high schooler, who knows diddly-squat about finance while still living in their parent’s basement, can file taxes on their own after getting their first job and paycheck ever. You’ll never have apprehension again but instead - the capability in doing all your taxes from now on.

This publication is very “reader friendly”—having been compiled in layman's terms, using simple language, and avoiding tax jargon as much as possible, as it breaks down the relevant areas of the tax code into understandable segments.
