What You Should Not Do!

YOU SHOULD NOT EVER PAY MORE THAN $400.00 MAXIMUM FOR TAX RETURN PREPERATION OF ANY KIND!  IF SOMEONE TELLS YOU THAT THEY CAN GET YOU A FEW THOUSAND MORE THAN THE OTHER GUYS GET YOU...RUN AS FAST AND AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN!  THESE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FILE A FRAUDULENT TAX RETURN ON YOUR BEHALF. THE IRS DOES'NT CARE IF YOU SAY "I DIDN'T TELL HIM TO ADD THAT TO MY RETURN". IF YOU SIGN IT, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING IN YOUR TAX RETURN. AGAIN I URGE YOU TO BE CAREFUL IN HOW, AND WHO YOU LET PREPARE YOU TAX RETURN.

YOUR TAX REFUND IS YOUR MONEY, YOU'VE EARNED IT, AND YOU SHOULDN'T BE GETTING OVER CHARGED BY SOME CROOK TO PREPARE AND FILE YOUR TAX RETURN.  IF YOU ARE A SELF EMPLOYED INDIVIDUAL, AND YOU WANT TO FILE YOUR TAX RETURN, YOU ARE PROTECTED BY THE SAME LAWS THAT GOVERN ALL TAX PAYERS. YOU CAN NOT BE CHARGED MORE THAN $400.00 TO PREPARE AND FILE YOUR TAX RETURN. SINGLE PARENT MOM'S...PLEASE FILE YOUR OWN TAX RETURN, DO NOT LET ANYONE TRICK YOU INTO LETTING THEM CLAIM YOUR CHILDREN.

IF YOU HAVE EARNED INCOME FROM ANY LEGAL SOURCE OF WORK, YOU CAN FILE A SCHEDULE C TAX RETURN AND CLAIM THE EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT FOR UP TO 3 CHILDREN. IF YOU BABYSIT, DO HAIR, BAKE PIES AND TEA CAKES...IF YOU CLEAN HOUSES, WASH AND FOLD FOR YOU NEIGHBORS OR WALK DOGS... IF YOU DRIVE HOT SHOT DELIVERY'S OR HAVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL SHOPPER BUSINESS...YOU CAN FILE AND CLAIM THE EITC. 

DON'T BE HUSTLED BY ANYONE THAT WANTS TO PAY YOU TO CLAIM YOUR CHILD, THIS IS AN ILLEGAL ACT THAT IS BEING PROSECUTED BY THE IRS NOW. IF YOU OWE FEDERAL STUDENT LOANS THAT HAVE GONE INTO DEFAULT, AND YOU FILE A TAX RETURN, YOU WILL MORE THAN LIKELY HAVE YOUR TAX REFUND OFFSET TO PAY THIS DEBT. THIS IS HOWEVER A GOOD THING. IF YOU FILE AND CLAIM THE EITC, YOU CAN LOOK AT PAYING BACK UP TO MORE THAN $5666.00 AGAINST YOUR FEDERAL STUDENT LOAN. THAT MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO WORRY SO MUCH ABOUT ALL OF THE INTEREST AND PENALTIES THAT ADD UP THE LONGER YOU DON'T PAY. DEPENDING UPON HOW MUCH YOU OWE, YOU CAN ACTUALLY PAY THIS DEBT WITHOUT ANY OUT OF POCKET MONEY, WITHIN 2 TO 3 YEARS OR EVEN LESS.
