The 1040 Form Comes Through When It Is Needed
It’s only January, even if it’s already two weeks into the month now, but that still means that it’s nearly tax season!
You heard right, with April 15th almost just four months away, now is the time to begin filing that 1040 Form.
The time has come to get your entire documents together.
Now is the time to visit your accountant, or just create it yourself and get everything over with already – now!
Or procrastinate at your own risk.
Most variations of the 1040 Form are really easy to handle on your own, unless you own a fat and complicated investment portfolio or something of this sort, such as real estate etc.
But of course the whole thing is onerous to begin with, which is why even completely poor people go to the trouble and expense of hiring another person to prepare their returns for them!
But procrastination is a dangerous thing when it comes to the government’s money.
You could be fined and/or (and note how that’s “and/or” – not merely one or the other, but [rather] possibly both!) imprisoned for being late.
It’s happened to others; why not you?
Seriously, the 1040 Form is so easy to do, generally, that it’s the height of absurdity to cover tax preparation that can cost from fifteen to thirty percent of your expected refund!
That’s not even talking about the additional cost of filing electronically – which is free, actually, for those making below twenty-five thousand dollars a year if completed through a third-party website affiliated with the IRS.
It’s amazing how much money can be made filling out people’s tax forms for them!
Even charging just a “discount” rate of thirty to fifty dollars a pop with a client base of just ten to twenty people, that’s between three hundred to a thousand dollars in a week – for what might not even amount to ten hours of work overall!
