Now that 2011 has drawn to a close, the 2011 tax due date will soon be upon us. Although the taxpayer actually increasing in number, the Internal Revenue Service will not be easing on people either not to pay taxes or to properly report information about their failure. The I.R.S. remain vigilant as ever, armed with improved software, a wandering eye on potential taxpayers.

To keep controlled, a taxpayer must file taxes, of course. This is the absolute minimum, but at least they were submitted. If an error is made or something is omitted, then fines may be levied, but not completely resistant to more serious consequences. A lien can be placed on a taxpayer’s car, house, boat or other valuables Property.

It is also important to report all sources of income. Any W-2s and 1099s should be included. The I.R.S. perhaps slightly more generous if the information inadvertently reported incorrectly, but there is little leniency for those who do leave out some information.This is considered to be deliberately concealed.

For anyone who claims dependents, charitable contributions, education expenses or other deductions, documents available to prove this information. Some deductions, like education or dependents will transfer the last fiscal year and are less prone to problems. Even this should be confirmed with envelopes addressed to the families concerned. Claims such as mileage and work-related deductions which are required original receipts to confirm.

It’s a good idea to double check the math on each form, because human error can occur. File on time, and the I.R.S. is much less likely to control. Luckily they fixed any mistakes made. Everyone receives a proper 2011 tax return.
