Free Tax Help Tip #1 - Start Filing Now
The best way to find out if you have a tax refund is to file your taxes as soon
as possible. The Beehive offers you the opportunity to use free tax software so
you can find out quickly whether you have money coming back to you. And the
sooner you file, the sooner you'll get your money back from the government. To begin filing you'll simply need a valid email address. (If you don’t already have one, sign up for a free email account with the Beehive! - just

Free Tax Help Tip #2 - File your taxes online
With the Beehive's free tax
software, you will be able to file your taxes electronically if you want. This way you'll be able to get a refund or even free money back from the government sooner! To file your taxes electronically, you will need your adjusted gross income (AGI). You can find this number on last year’s tax return.
Free Tax Help Tip #3 - Get Free Money Back from the Government!
The Beehive can show you how you could get thousands of dollars in cash back from the government just for filing your taxes!
Find out if you qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit
(EITC). The Earned Income Tax Credit, sometimes called Earned Income Credit, or
EIC, is extra money you can get if you are working and you file a federal income tax return.Free
Tax Help Tip #4 - Learn about new tax breaks for 2007
Did you know you might be able to get money back on the long-distance calls
you made last year? Or that the government might pay part of a new roof for your
house? There are a number of new tax deductions available this year, and here's
how to find out about them.
Free Tax Help Tip #5 - Make sure you check for all of
your deduction possibilities
When you file your 2006 taxes, remember to check carefully for any tax-
or education-related credits that you may qualify for. This money gets
taken out of taxes you would normally pay, which could save you thousands of
extra dollars!
Free Tax Help Tip #6 - Watch Out for Instant
Cash Back and Other Tax Scams!
Instant cash back can sounds like a great idea, especially if you're trying
to make ends meet, but these are not refunds, they are loans. You can end up
paying more than half your cash, just to borrow your own refund money. Find out
how you can
avoid
tax scams.
Free Tax Help Tip #7 - Here's how to keep all the money you deserve
- Avoid check cashing outlets that charge high fees to cash your tax
refund check. Instead, use direct deposit to put the money straight
into your checking or savings account. You can also cash your tax refund at
a bank.
- Use your tax refund to pay off debts. Pay your
high-interest payments like credit cards so that you can start to build a
more solid financial future.
