Do you start thinking about filing your tax return in January? I definitely do.

When January hits, I start thinking about when my tax forms will arrive in the mail, and how quickly I can get my return filed. I am not this Johnny-on-the-spot with everything in my life, believe me. But tax returns are something I can never procrastinate about—even if I’m not counting on getting a return.

To help you get inspired to file your tax return early, check out our tax guide designed specifically for students and their parents. This chart outlines tax deductions and savings opportunities available to students and their parents. The IRS also offers a helpful page  with tax information for students.

Remember to consult with your own tax advisor regarding your own tax needs.
