Filing your tax returns doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Whether you’re managing business or personal taxes, taking a proactive approach can save you time, money, and stress. At Tavola Group, we’re here to help you make the most of the tax season. Here’s what you should focus on before filing:

1. Set and Reconsider Your Goals

Tax season isn’t just about compliance—it’s an opportunity to align your financial goals with your filing strategy. Reflect on last year’s goals:

• Did you achieve your savings targets?
• Have your priorities shifted due to personal or business changes?
• Are you planning for major investments or growth in the coming year?

Revisiting your goals can help you identify deductions, credits, or strategies that align with your vision for the future.

2. Gather All Necessary Information

Being organized is key to a smooth filing process. Create a checklist of essential documents, including:

• For Personal Returns: W-2s, 1099s, investment income statements, mortgage interest forms, charitable donation receipts, and medical expense records.
• For Business Returns: Profit and loss statements, expense receipts, payroll records, and any relevant tax documents.

Make sure to account for all income sources and gather supporting documentation for any deductions you plan to claim.

3. Review Changes in Tax Laws and Regulations

Tax laws evolve every year, and staying updated can have a significant impact on your return. Key areas to focus on include:

• New Deductions or Credits: Are there new opportunities for savings?
• Updated Income Brackets: How might this affect your tax rate?
• Business-Specific Changes: Review changes affecting business expenses, depreciation, or deductions.

Our team at Tavola Group closely monitors tax law updates to ensure you’re maximizing your benefits while staying compliant.
