5 Tax Resources to Help You Survive the 2009 Tax Season
Tax season usually causes a fair amount of anxiety or unpleasantness for many people. It is painful to find out you have not given enough of your hard earned money to the government. The best thing you can do is to estimate and plan for how much you pay on an annual basis, and then be prepared to pay it. Either by paying it out of your paycheck each month (quarterly for small business people) so you don’t owe at the end of the year, or by having a chunk set aside for April. The only real difference is how you pay it.
Whether you’re prepared or not, it’s that time. And since not everyone has their taxes prepared for them, I’ve compiled a few link resources you may find useful.

One note especially for those who have a new business. When you’re looking for business deductions remember to consider: Anything you use in the course and scope of business. That can cover a lot of things that may not be readily apparent.
