Gather your records. Round up any documents you’ll need when filing your taxes: receipts, canceled checks and other documents that support income or deductions you’re claiming on your return.  2.    Be on the lookout.  W-2s and 1099s will be coming soon; you’ll need these to file your tax return.  3.    Have a question? Use the Interactive Tax Assistantavailable on the IRS website to find answers to your tax questions about credits, deductions, general filing questions and more.  And finally, Visit the official IRS website often. The IRS website atwww.irs.gov is a great place to find everything you need to file your tax return: forms, publications, tips, answers to frequently asked questions and updates on tax law changes.
