1. Get an early start

Tax season can be a hassle, but it doesn’t have to be! Getting an early start can make your taxes less taxing and more of a walk in the park. Plus, you’ll feel the sweet relief of no longer worrying about them while everyone else is fretting about the deadline. Not to mention, if there are any problems, you can get ahead of the curve and fix them while there’s plenty of time! The sooner you start, the sooner you can get your refund and put it to good use with an affordable, no-contract phone from Straight Talk Wireless.

2. Stay organized

Forget about scrambling to find all of your forms last minute! Organize all necessary documents to make things even easier by the time tax season rolls around. Whether it's a filing folder, a designated drawer or a particular spot in your office, ensure that you can easily locate all of your important documents when the time comes to file. You'll thank us later once you have a game plan going into tax season. Speaking of plans, you can find your perfect phone plan to fit your needs with Straight Talk! All of their no-contract plans feature unlimited talk and text, plus high-speed data on a Nationwide 5G.

3. Consider life milestones

Congrats on achieving that big milestone! You might be surprised to know that life changes can create critical updates to your filing status. Getting married, having kids or moving for a job can all affect your taxes. If you're married before December 31, you can now file jointly as a couple, not to mention add more phone lines to your plan. If you've recently started a family, you can claim newborn children as dependents.

4. Bunch charitable donations

Looking to maximize your tax savings? Consider "bunching": a tax strategy where you group your charitable contributions for multiple years into one year to itemize your deductions or decrease your taxable income. That way, you can take the standard deduction in other years and maximize your tax savings.

5. Get help

Filing taxes can be a hassle, so it's best to do what works for you, whether that's an online filing tool or an accountant. There are a few ways to file, just like how there's a Straight Talk plan for everyone! Luckily with their affordable options, you can relax knowing you're saving money while getting the best devices and networks on your terms. It's a smarter way to pay for a smarter phone.
