Every year we embark on the arduous and often tedious journey of filing taxes, either your own, or perhaps if you're a tax professional, for your many clients. Historically taxes have had the tendency of being complicated but now that cryptocurrency and other virtual currencies have become so culturally prominent, filing taxes on this plethora of new data has become a requirement for many.
Tax season begins...
If you're like most people, January 1st begins your foray into considering you or your clients' tax burden for the filing year. There's a wealth of things you can get a head start on before W-2s, 1099s, and the like become available near the end of the month. Processing data like business and deductable personal expenses, setting up your tax software for all your basic filing information, and more.
But, what if we told you that there's another part of taxes you can prepare for, if not complete, starting at the beginning of January?
