Start Early and Collect Every Discount with 2013 Taxes


tax discounts and identity theft stats
Taxes have been on the minds of many this year, especially since new tax laws have recently been put into place. So why not resolve to set some tax goals for the year using excellent tips from the experts at the Equifax Finance Blog?

In the recent article, “Six Tax Resolutions for the New Year,” six helpful tips are listed for those looking to create a tax plan. One tip asks consumers to start keeping records of all of their financial activities, now that it is easier by keeping digital records. Do this by scanning or taking clear pictures of all the receipts you get when you are out and about spending. This record is very valuable when doing your taxes for itemization and deductions.


Another great tip from this article is to keep up with your credit status. With all of the identity theft stats that point to more thefts, keeping track of your credit report and score is important. Errors on your report can lower your score, and may also reveal a deeper identity theft protection breach. Equifax offers free annual credit reports, so be sure to take advantage of them to be sure your identity hasn’t been compromised.
