Don't Get Taxed Over Organization
By Wilson Jones
Half the battle of successfully filing your taxes is getting all your records organized. That's where Wilson Jones® can help. While we can't give you creative ways to claim extra deductions, we can offer inventive ideas to get your important documents tidy, organized, and (eventually) stored away for next year.
Bind It
First things first. Before you can even think about filling out that 1040, you need to get all of your important papers in one place. What better way to do that than with a versatile binder? While Wilson Jones has loads of exceptional binders , one obvious tax time organizer is the Four Pocket Binder.
This little beauty is not only made out of a virtually indestructible, lightweight poly material; it also has four vertical pockets that offer incredibly easy access to all your tax documents. Another benefit of this binder is that the pockets resist ink! So you'll be able to read all those important numbers clearly.
Catalog It
Now that you've made the effort to nicely secure everything in a binder, take the next step and create a presentation-worthy index too. It's not anal-it's smart! And with new view-tab™ transparent dividers, it's never been easier to create a paradigm in organization.
These innovative dividers let you print your tab titles on a standard piece of paper and place it behind the poly tabs. That means there are no tabs to insert, no labels to apply, and you can customize your tabs and table of contents directly on the web. It also means that you never have to be confused about where to find your charitable donation list or your business travel receipts because your tab index is always in view.
Take It With You
When you're transporting all those now-orderly files to your accountant, keep your documents safe with ColorLife® Plus Expanding Wallets. They have durable acrylic coating and a satin finish. So even if you're caught in a sudden downpour on the way to your car, all your precious records will remain dry, unsmudged and tear-free. This handy carrier also has an expandable CD/disk front utility pocket so you can bring your computer files with you, too. (Making it much easier to explain to your accountant exactly how you managed to claim your cat as a dependent.)
Store It
Okay, so you've sent your return to the IRS and you're ready to get all those records out of sight. Just don't be hasty about throwing old returns away. Experts agree that average people should keep their tax documents on-hand for at least three years in case of an audit.
That doesn't mean all that stuff has to collect dust under your nose-there's a whole line of Perma® QuickFold™ storage boxes available to hide them away. These boxes set up in seconds, feature heavy-duty construction, and come in plenty of sizes and styles.
This is just a smattering of Wilson Jones' extensive product line. Browse our entire online catalog for even more organization solutions.
