Filing early can have major advantages, but it’s not always the best option for everyone. Deciding when to file depends on your personal situation.
1. Benefits of Filing Early
- Faster Refunds: Filing early means beating the rush and receiving your refund sooner.
- Avoid Identity Theft: Filing early reduces the risk of someone else filing a fraudulent return in your name.
- Peace of Mind: Early filing removes the stress of waiting until the last minute.
2. When to Wait
- Incomplete Documentation: If you’re missing key forms, it’s better to wait and file accurately.
- Expecting Changes: For example, if an employer or bank might issue a corrected 1099, waiting can prevent amendments.
