How can I begin filing my taxes

To begin filing your taxes using TurboTax you can start by clicking this link for TurboTax.  

 

The program will guide you step by step by asking you ‌ questions about what is going on in your life. Then you will be able to collect your refund or see what you owe. 

 

When you file electronically, the IRS will provide a status of your tax refund within 24 hours of e-filing (or within four weeks after you’ve mailed your return).

 

To prepare to complete your taxes, make sure to  get all of your tax documents together that you will need.  This includes any W-2, Form(s) 1099, Form 1095-A (if you have one), investment income information from your financial institution, and any other supporting records that you have. 

 

Before you start your tax preparation, you can Download and Print this checklist as a PDF.

 

Filing taxes online is faster and more accurate than completing them by hand.
