Do you file your taxes yourself or do you use a tax advisor? Either way, you are responsible for gathering all necessary information to make sure you receive full credit for your deductions and tax credits.  For many of us, collecting these documents and statements can cause major stress. A major key to avoiding this is organization. Through organization, doing your taxes becomes less complicated and reduces the anxiety levels known to skyrocket during tax season.
