Can I file taxes before the end of the year?


Can I file taxes before the end of the year?

I know some people who do is quarterly. That may just be a local tax, though.

No, you must report all income for the year, if the year is not over you can not file

No, you need the forms from your employer to mail into the IRS and the Dept. of Revenue.

No, the IRS doesn't accept returns until sometime in January.

You need your W-2 which you won't have until January if you are an employee. Even if you aren't an employee, are self-employed, and know you won't make any more this year, the IRS won't accept until January.

If you are not working anymore and will not be receiving anymore money for the year, and you have all of your tax documents (which you probably don't), then you can complete the forms. It will not get you a refund any faster because you can not efile until mid-January and a paper return will not be processed before January even if it is accepted.

If you have any bank accounts that accrue intrest, you will not get those 1099-INTs before mid-January, same for your W-2s. Those are the most common tax documents.
