TAX TIPS!

Tax season can be a stressful time for many of us. But it doesn’t

have to be. Here are a few fool-proof tax tips to make this tax

season a breeze:

- Visit www.freetaxrefund.org. This website was created

by the Wisconsin Credit Union League to:

- Take you though each step of the tax return

process, whether you are using a tax

professional or doing it yourself.

- Provide information for getting the

most return possible.

- Visit the TACU lobby. Our lobby has a variety of tax forms

you may need and some tips you may find useful.

- Use direct deposit. Tax professionals agree, directly

depositing your refund into your credit union account is the

safest and fastest way to get your tax return. You will get

your refund earlier and you run less risk of your check

getting lost in the mail.
