Haven't filed your taxes yet?   Then try out these tips to get them done fast.

With the tax deadline right around the corner, you may be panicking about finishing your taxes.   However, it's important to stay calm and make a game plan for getting your taxes filed on time.   Taking these steps will help you meet the April 15th deadline.

1) Gather the Necessary Documents

Before you sit down and start to file your taxes, make sure that you have all the necessary documents close by.   For instance, you should gather things like your W-2s, 1099s, receipts for expenses, mortgage interest, your kids' social security numbers, and so on.

2) E-File

For a fast and convenient way to file your taxes at home, use e-file software.   Nowadays, many online tax services like Turbo Tax and H&R Block make it easy to upload your tax information through digital uploads and pictures.   Additionally, because they automatically submit an electronic copy of your taxes to the IRS and state, you do not have to worry about your forms being lost in the mail or delayed past the deadline date.

3) Set Up Direct Deposit or Automatic Withdrawals

If you expect to get a tax return, then e-file with direct deposit.   This is the easiest, fastest, and safest way to get your tax return money.   If you are going to owe the government, then consider setting up an automatic withdrawal.   This will allow the IRS to pull what you owe right from the account you specify.   This is the fastest and most convenient way to pay your taxes this year.
