If you're like most people, paying taxes can be a confusing process that you never truly understand. Many people go through the whole process thinking they finally figured out the system, but then come to find out you still owe money to the IRS. Make sure you put exactly how much money you make during the year; never put less and never put more. When the IRS checks your income and who you say you received the money from, they also check that person's taxes to see if they claimed you. If the numbers don't match up, you will have a very bigproblem on your hands. Make sure you deduct for everything that you can. With things in the world going green, there are so many household things that you can use as deductibles on your taxes. Things like energy star appliances, hybrid cars, and buying your first home can be claimed for tax credits, giving you more money for purchasing things.

If you're scared, short of time or don't feel confident doing the research when looking for complex financial products, you'll find financial advice worthwhile. Yet if you're money savvy, my instinct would be to DIY it, as it's cheaper. This involves doing your own research. As well as the articles on this site, I wholeheartedly suggest a book by Which? called Be Your Own Financial Advisor* (my Money Diet* book is about cutting bills and MoneySaving, this one is on hardcore financial products).However with complex financial products or, even more, the interaction of various complex financial products, professional help can be very useful, and it's worth paying an adviser to ensure you get it right. Yet be aware they're better at some things than others: Annuities (pensions). An annuity is the product you trade your pension in for each year when you retire, in order to get an annual payment for life. It's a big one-off financial transaction, about which you can't change your mind once done. As it's crucially important that you check out the whole market for this, most people should consider an adviser.If this is the only thing you're using an adviser for, it's worth looking at one...more
