New Year’s Resolution: Tax Document Organization
Jan 14, 2014
According to the University of Scranton, 45% of all American’s usually make a new year’s resolution, while only 8% of American’s actually achieve their resolution. 39% of those in their twenties achieve their resolution while only 14% of those over 50. 75% of American’s stick with their resolution in the first week but then only 46% past 6 months. The top ten resolutions for 2014 are:
- Lose weight
- Getting organized
- Spend Less, Save More
- Enjoy life to the fullest
- Staying Fit and Healthy
- Learn something exciting
- Quit smoking
- Help others in their dreams
- Fall in love
- Spend more time with family
I am interested to hear what your resolutions are. I guess I am in the 38% of Americans who never make a resolution, but if I did make one it would probably be number 4 above. From my perspective I hope a lot of you are resolving for number 2! In order to help your accountant out be organized! It will end up costing you more if you give your accountant a shoe box of information. Do you and your accountant a favor, have your tax documents organized and neat! If this year your tax documents are a mess, then make a resolution now to start a folder where you can put the information so that a year from now you can quickly access it without frustration!
Happy New Year and Happy Resolving!
