DeKALB – Whether a person is filing their own taxes or having them prepared by a professional, Bernie Boona recommended having all of the necessary paperwork on hand.

“It’s easier to file when you have everything,” said Boona, the owner of Accounting For Your Success, 1958 Aberdeen Court, Suite 2, in Sycamore. “You can’t do part of your return and then come back and finish it later.”

That paperwork can include any forms or letters from a person’s employer or college, or from the Internal Revenue Service. Anything that might be necessary, he said, also recommending having last year’s income tax bill on hand.
