Which are the most common tax filing mistakes? Learn how to avoid them

7. Sign the forms – Many of us forget to sign the tax refund form. Forms with no personal sign can cause a lot of problems and you may lose a lot of time correcting this mistake. If there is a joint return, both spouses should sign the refund form in order to be valid.

8. PIN errors when you file the refund form online – e-field tax returns also require your signature, well known as a Personal Identification Number (PIN). Remember your PIN in order to process the file.

9. Health care mistakes – IRS says that one of the most common tax filing mistakes is about failing (or forgetting) to claim a health coverage exemption. Many of the taxpayers are getting the terms wrong and they are making mistakes.

How to avoid these tax filing mistakes?

– You should always have the right personal information. Don’t rush to file the tax form and read all the instructions on how to file it right. Your handwriting should be clear, so the representatives can read it. Check all the things twice so you can correct all the eventual mistakes. Of course, don’t freak out – all of the errors can be fixed, but it will take you more time.
