Tax season is always a busy and frustrating time for everyone. When it gets closer to the date (April 15), many people are forced to make rash decisions that may put a big dent in their wallets.

It is important for residents to be very familiar with these terms: tax preparation fees, rapid refunds, refund anticipation loans, interest rates and any other additonal fees. If you're not, it may cost you dearly.

Advice: Make sure to ask your preparer to see a list of fees or ask what kinds of charges should you anticipate before they prepare your taxes.

Did you know that there are four free tax clinics in the community?
