Whenever the start of a new year kicks in, that means it’s time to start thinking about taxes. It’s only January, but April is just a couple of months away, so it’s the perfect time to get started. Sure, doing taxes isn’t fun, but we all have to do them, so it’s better to get a head start and not be stuck doing them last minute.
This year, things are a bit different, as a new law allows millions of Americans, including many Michigan residents, to qualify for no-cost tax filing services. It’s all part of the Internal Revenue Service’s Free File program.
