Episode 115: Tax Preparation

Last year, the Taxpayer Advocate Service released the Taxpayer Roadmap.  I am doing a 6-part review of the various stages of the United States federal tax system as shown on the Taxpayer Roadmap.  To find out more about the roadmap, use this link:  https://taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/roadmap   I begin the 6-part series with a look at tax preparation.  This episode looks at the various parts of tax preparation such as gathering documents, going to a tax preparer, free filing options, going to VITA or AARP Tax-Aide, filing an extension, and more.
