Having organized tax records makes it easier to prepare your tax return completely and accurately. This helps you avoid errors that lead to delays and lengthen the time it takes to issue your refund, and it may also help you discover deductions or credits you didn't realize you could take.

Consider adjusting your withholding if you owed taxes or received a large refund when you filed. Changing your withholding can help you avoid a tax bill or allow you to keep more money from each paycheck. Credit amounts can change each year, so visit IRS.gov and use the Interactive Tax Assistant to identify if you qualify for any tax credits that may require a withholding adjustment. Life changes – such as getting married or divorced, the birth of a child or getting a second job – could mean your withholding changes.
