Legal Note: Know this about Walmart tax preparation! All of the tax preparers at Walmart are TRAINED to do their jobs, and each tax preparer has her PTIN (Preparer Tax Identification Number)and is registered with the IRS.
That is NOT WHY – you SHOULD NOT file your taxes at Walmart.
There are other MORE IMPORTANT and personal reasons.
* * * * * *
It doesn’t take a genius to do your own taxes.
Here are 3 reasons why you should file your own taxes. And NOT file your taxes at Walmart.
… in preparing your taxes. Yes. You can TRUST the tax preparers at Walmart to keep your information confidential. I’m NOT talking about professional confidentiality.
I am talking about PRIVACY. Not having other people invade your “private space” while you are discussing something as IMPORTANT and PERSONAL as your PRIVATE finances and taxes.
I do NOT want to prepare my taxes in the cubicle atmosphere at Walmart.
It feels like taking a shower in public.
I want the PRIVACY of my home or someone’s office WITH A CLOSED DOORon that office. So that my spouse and I are discussing our finances in PRIVATE.
You deserve to do you own taxes in the privacy of your home.
It doesn’t take a genius to do your own taxes. Not anymore.

2.) You deserve more CONVENIENCE…
… in preparing your taxes. Well, you say that Walmart is convenient for you to have your taxes prepared. But can you start and stopthis process at your convenience while sitting with a tax preparer at Walmart ? No, you can’t.
You still need to gather ALL of your documents BEFORE visiting with this tax preparer. And, hopefully, this entire tax preparation process is completed BEFORE your spouse is done shopping.
Otherwise, your spouse and your children are WAITING while you complete this process. Not very convenient at all.
And you know how that will work for you. Good luck with IMPATIENT children WAITING after an hour of shopping at Walmart. You deserve MORE CONVENIENCE.
You can do your own taxes. In the convenience of your home.

3.) You deserve MORE CONTROL…
… in preparing your taxes. If you use computer software (TurboTax) to prepare you taxes, you will have MORE CONTROL in doing your taxes. And you will become more knowledgeable and more prepared to file your taxes next year.
You will get to review important financial information. To put you in control of your finances.
MORE CONTROL over your financial life ! Isn’t that what you want ? MORE CONTROL !
What could be more important financially than KNOWING how your taxes IMPACT your life ? And being armed with this knowledge, you are now better prepared to file next year’s tax return.

What’s up ? Hey, I’m NOT your CPA; but here’s what I am.
This old man has spent more than five decades in the business world. The majority of my corporate experience has been as an investment advisor with a major Wall Street firm. And during my corporate career:
I earned my MBA in Accountancy at age 57,
I taught Computerized Accounting at the University level, and
I became registered ( P T I N) with the IRS to prepare U.S. Federal Tax Returns.
So let’s talk straight. Let’s talk about your taxes.
Now. Let’s start again with the MAJOR reason to file your 2015 income taxes early.
* * * * * *
1.) You DESERVE to get this task off your mind.
You deserve this freedom.
Not many people talk about this point. Just get it OFF OF YOUR MIND. File your taxes early to set your mind FREE for more productive and fun reasons.
It doesn’t take a genius to do your taxes. Watch video.
But it does take genius tax software. Designed to be so simple that your kids could do your taxes for you. Now that’s genius.
Do your 2015 income taxes early.
You deserve the freedom, the peace of mind.
You are worth it.
* * * * * *
You know how an undone task – like filing your income taxes – creates MENTAL CLUTTER. Mental clutter that is constantly nagging in your head. Clogging your brain with unnecessary background noise. This nagging unfinished task sucks all the energy out of you.
And the closer you get to that important deadline of April 15th – the more distracting this undone task becomes. The louder the nagging background noise becomes.
And if you’re like me – just STARTING relieves a lot of emotional pressure. Just getting this done TRUMPS ALL of the other solid financial reasons for filing early.
Take it from someone who has filed personal income tax returns for more than 40 years. Do it now. File your income taxes early.
A real “duh” financial reason. If the government owes you a return on taxes you have paid, file early and get this money WORKING for you – or “PLAYING” for you. Plan that SPECIAL vacation. Early.
Plan that special vacation – that escape to the islands.
* * * * * *
3.) You will get EXTRA TIME to pay a balance due…
… by doing your income taxes early.
Ugh ! And if you owe a balance due to the IRS, then you know that final number today. Not tomorrow. So you can plan – or make arrangements to pay the IRS.
Know this number in advance so that you are NOT STRESSING unnecessarily.
* * * * * *
4.) You will get IMPORTANT FINANCIAL INFORMATION needed for other purposes…
… by doing your income taxes early.
Purchasing a home or returning to college ? There is information on your 1040 that you or your children need to apply for a student loan.
And prospective home buyers often need to show a COMPLETED TAX RETURN as proof of household income.
* * * * * *
Again the MOST IMPORTANT reason …
… to file your income taxes early is (#1) to get it off of your mind.
