SW Florida Real Estate Insider -Tax Tips

It is almost that time of year again. Tax Time.

I know that most of you are thinking of Holiday Shopping and visiting family, but tax time weighs heavily on my mind! I am one of those procrastinators who wait until April 14 to find all of my year end paperwork, buy a tax software (too late to use a professional!) and spend 12 hours trying to organize a years worth of paper work into my tax returns.

When it was just my personal taxes it wasn't that bad; still painful, but manageable.
Once I opened my own real estate company however, it became a nightmare.

I always promise myself when I am in the middle of this nightmare that it will not happen next year! Well, we all know how that goes. I keep up with my day to day tasks for my work and family but accounting work just seems to get neglected.

So, I am trying to be ready for 2009 tax season and I found this article on the Florida realtor site with some tax tips that may help those of you who plan ahead.

2008 Tax Tips

Hope it helps!
