Tax season begins Friday, January 15th

January 13th, 2010 - Posted by Caitlin

This Friday, January 15, is the first day to electronically file your 2009 tax return. Of course, the deadline isn't until April 15, but it's a good idea to get started early, for several reasons. Having plenty of time to complete your return means you'll be less likely to make costly mistakes, and the sooner you file your return, the sooner you'll receive your refund. It's particularly beneficial to e-file early if you'll be using a tax preparation service, since these services tend to raise their prices as the April 15 deadline approaches.

E-filing is secure, easy, and much cheaper than using an accountant. And when you file your return electronically, you'll get your refund weeks earlier than you would if you mailed a paper return. To learn more about e-filing, check out our reviews and comparison of the top online tax preparation services.
