Tax season can be stressful, but it’s worth it when Uncle Sam gives you a big refund. Unfortunately, many U.S. taxpayers leave too much money on the return table—and you might be one of them.
Understanding the best ways to prepare taxes and knowing which tax write-offs you’re missing will help you avoid this costly mistake.
