Don’t Panic—There’s Still Time to File Your Taxes!
With the tax deadline quickly approaching, many individuals and business owners find themselves scrambling to get their tax returns done. If you’re one of them, don’t worry! There’s still time to file accurately and maximize your refund—but you need to act fast.
At Hewad Multi-Services, we specialize in last-minute tax preparation and can help you avoid penalties, claim deductions, and ensure a smooth filing process. Here’s a quick guide to help you get your taxes done before the deadline.
Gather All Your Important Documents For Your Tax Return
Before you file your tax return, make sure you have:
✅ W-2 Forms – If you’re employed, this form reports your wages and taxes withheld.
✅ 1099 Forms – If you’re self-employed, a freelancer, or an independent contractor.
✅ Identification Documents – Social Security numbers for yourself and any dependents.
✅ Receipts for Deductions – Any deductible expenses like medical bills, charitable donations, and business expenses.
✅ Previous Year’s Tax Return – Helps ensure consistency and accuracy when filing this year.
💡 Pro Tip: If you’re missing a form, check your online accounts or contact your employer or financial institution to retrieve it quickly.
Take Advantage of Tax Deductions & Credits
Even if you’re filing at the last minute, don’t miss out on valuable tax deductions and credits that could increase your refund or reduce your tax bill.
🔹 Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) – For low-to-moderate-income earners.
🔹 Child Tax Credit (CTC) – If you have dependent children.
🔹 Education Credits – If you paid tuition or student loan interest.
🔹 Self-Employment Deductions – For freelancers and business owners, including home office expenses and mileage deductions.
💰 Claiming these deductions can significantly lower the amount you owe!
File Electronically for a Faster Refund
If you’re filing last minute, the best way to avoid delays and get your refund faster is to file electronically and choose direct deposit.
✅ E-Filing – The IRS processes electronic returns much faster than paper filings.
✅ Direct Deposit – Your refund is deposited directly into your bank account, often within a few weeks.

Request an Extension If You Need More Time
If you’re completely unprepared and can’t file by the deadline, don’t panic—you can request a tax extension (Form 4868). This gives you an extra six months to file (until October). However, an extension does NOT extend the deadline for paying taxes you owe—you must estimate and pay your tax liability by the original due date to avoid penalties.
Avoid Common Last-Minute Filing Mistakes
❌ Forgetting to sign and date your return – If filing a paper return, an unsigned form is considered invalid.
❌ Using incorrect personal information – Misspelled names or wrong Social Security numbers can delay processing.
❌ Claiming ineligible deductions – Always ensure you qualify before taking deductions.
❌ Ignoring your state tax return – If you live in a state with income tax, make sure to file that as well.
✔ Double-check everything before submitting your return!
