Tax Time

With the beginning of the new year behind us, it is time to start thinking about filing your taxes. You still have a lot of time to get your return in, but as a student you want to complete your 2009 tax return as soon as you can. Students need to have their 1040 information for the 2010-2011 FAFSA application. That means the sooner you get your taxes done, the sooner you will be able to apply for financial aid for the next school year. Not everyone will need to file for 2009, but if you do make sure that you start to think about how you will get your application in. Here is a website that you can check out if you have some questions, you may also want to ask a professional if you are unsure of how to handle your taxes. Enjoy!
