Many people hold off filing their taxes until the very last moment. However, whether you think you will incur a tax liability or not, you should consider filing
your taxes early. It's never a good idea to file late or to not file your taxes at all, and doing so could result in penalties or even prosecution. So make sure that you file on time, but also think about filing your taxes early. There are many benefits to early filing. Here are a few of the main ones:
1. Faster tax returns
This is one of the main reasons why you should file your taxes early. Filing your taxes early enables you to receive your tax refunds more quickly, and your bank account will thank you. The best way to ensure that you file your returns fast is through the electronic system. Paper filing can take a longer time, and might prevent you from receiving your refunds in the shortest time possible. An experienced Tax Accountant can help ensure that your taxes are filed completely, quickly, and accurately.

2. Extra time for budgeting for liabilities
Preparing your taxes early gives you an accurate reading of what your tax liabilities are for both State and Federal. This can give you a couple extra months to help save/budget for your due tax payments without having to request an extension or payment options. If you need to request a payment option, you may incur additional fees and interest payments.

3. Protects you from identity theft
Rushing through the process to file for your returns can put you at higher risk of identity theft. Many scammers actually target people in the first week in April, offering victims to quickly process their returns for them. Unfortunately, many people fall victim to such scams, and put their personal and banking information in the hands of criminals. So file early and calmly, and always seek assistance from a reputable tax service provider, should you need one.
4. Eliminates tax deadline stress
There are deadlines set for people to file their tax
returns (April 15th). Failure to meet this deadline, and you might be fined or your refunds delayed. Late filing of taxes is associated with anxiety and stress for so many people. Therefore, prepare and file your taxes early, and save yourself some undue stress.
In summary, filing your taxes early enables you to
concentrate on other important issues in your life or business. You can do it
on your own or seek the services of a professional accountant to help you file your taxes.
