Filing your taxes isn't just a once-a-year endeavor. Maintaining good records throughout the year—and disposing of old ones when appropriate—not only provides you with greater confidence now when you prepare your tax return, but it also provides you with documentation you may need down the road.
The Internal Revenue Service has convenient tools available on their website where you can track the status of your refund or Economic Impact Payments. Please select "Get your Refund Status" or "Get My Payment" to use this tool.
