If you moved, got married or had a baby in 2013, be sure to tell the IRS.
Here are some important steps to take before you file your taxes.
* Many new brides remember to change their name on their license, stationery or Facebook, but forget to notify Social Security. You won’t be able to e-file your tax return with your new name if it doesn’t match the Social Security Record.
* If you moved, be sure you’ve notified anyone who will be sending you tax-related material. That includes employers, lenders, investments, clients and your state tax agency. Also, be sure to update your drivers license or voter registration to prove your new residence.
* If you had a new baby, congratulations. Be sure you applied for their Social Security number which can take months to be issued.
If 2013 was just another year, it’s still a good idea to get organized now. Grab a folder and designate it for 2014 tax-related mail as it trickles in.
