Preparing for the upcoming tax season

GULFPORT, Miss. (WXXV)- Tax season is officially here. Most people have already received their W2s and now comes the not-so-fun part of filing those taxes.

This year, there are several new tax laws that could make the process a little more confusing for some filers.

Tax professionals say one of the biggest changes this year involves tax credits, income thresholds, and deductions, which could impact families, freelancers, and small business owners the most.

Experts recommend double-checking all documents before filing and taking extra time to review eligibility for credits that may have changed.

And while many people choose to file early, it’s okay to slow down especially if you’re unsure how the new laws apply to you.
