Reminder Before E-Filing
Before submitting your tax return electronically, it's important to carefully review all manual entries and calculations. This includes:
- Income amounts entered manually
- Deductions and credits claimed
- State-specific adjustments
- Any overrides or custom inputs
Even small errors can affect your tax liability, refund, trigger notices, or delay processing. Taking a few minutes to double-check your entries ensures accuracy and helps avoid unnecessary issues.
