Don't Put Off Doing Taxes

Taxes aren't much fun--or even remotely interesting--for most people, but putting them off until the last minute can leave you in a pinch, according to this recent Tools and Tips article on NFIB.com. Though you're probably already pushed to the limit with your free time, the article cautions against waiting until April to contact your accountant, who is most likely swamped this time of year and might not be able to fit you in before Tax Day. And, the article advises, if you practice "shoebox accounting" in your business (where you throw all of your receipts in a shoebox until it's tax time), make an appointment now. And then do everyone a favor and invest in a filing system for next year.
