Maureen Cavanaugh: Whether you usually wait until the last-minute to file your tax returns or you just didn't want to deal with it this year, it's getting down to the wire. April 15 is next Wednesday, and that means you have one more weekend to get your forms together. It's time to sit down and get this job done. And if it sounds like I'm also trying to give myself a push, you are absolutely right.
Luckily, we have some help and motivation on tap today. I'm joined by two people who can answer many of your questions about what's new on the tax form this year, the mistakes to avoid, and where to go for help on your specific tax problems. They'll also tell us how we can get a head start on some new tax breaks that may come in handy on your 2009 taxes.
Guests
- Raphael Tulino, IRS spokesperson for Southern California and Nevada.
- Brenda Voet, spokesperson for the California Franchise Tax Board.
