Tax Preperation Does Not Have To Be Stressful

(KAIR)--The April 15th individual income tax filing deadline is less than a month away, and as the deadline draws near, many could be finding themselves overwhelmed with preparing a return. Tax Manager at H&R Block in Atchison, Mike Kocur says that even the most carefully prepared return can be audited by the IRS, and in that case, the best thing you can do is to keep calm. He adds that you should not just go ahead and pay what the IRS says you owe, if there is a balance due, it's best to seek a professional tax expert for advice on what to do.

Kocur advises everyone to file a return, no matter how much they were paid last year. There may be some cases where a return does not need to be filed, but the last thing you want is to not receive any money the government owes you. Even if you have a depended that only took in a few thousand dollars last year, there is a possibility you could receive a small return.

Kocur says that last year's partial government shutdown did not extend that deadline, but did delay the start of tax processing by the IRS to January 31st.
