Write These Tips Down Now Before Filing

Before you file, make sure you are making these proper deductions so that you get credit where it is earned!

First, you will want to take into account that things change with taxes every year. While one year, something you purchase may not matter, the next year it could be tax-deductible. Therefore, you will want to start planning on keeping everything until after you file taxes. Then, you can throw it away. You just never know when a receipt might just come in handy, so make sure you start making the habit now of holding onto everything until after you have turned in your taxes.

If you travel for your job, you will want to start keeping track of your mileage for tax purposes. You also may be able to deduct some of your cell phone expenses, depending upon how much you use your cell phone for work. Advancing your education may be tax deductible, as well. You just need to make sure to check with your employer first to see what terms they have regarding education in their contract.

Do not forget to deduct any uniform purchases and cleanings, as those costs certainly add up throughout the year. You will want to write off any medical supplies and tools you had to purchase, as well.
