You must first have the means to determine whether you have a refund. Some have tax attorneys, if this is your case then insure that you have the very best tax attorney who has a fantastic accountant. They will have your books updated monthly and will probably have your tax return ready to file before January 31. They can submit your return electronically over the internet through your tax attorney. If you aren't in this category then you can take all your expense records which include sales slips, interest for school loans, medical expenses, records of loss from investments, thefts and personal checks from your bank account with your 1090's from all of your jobs to a well known tax agency. They will review your records and assist you in claiming any legal deductions. Some of these agencies will for a percentage of your return provide you a check immediately for any return funds owed you by the federal and state governments. Another method can be the use of the EZ tax form whereby you only take the standard deduction and skip making detailed deductions.
