Tax penalties are steep and entirely avoidable. A tax reminder gives you enough warning to gather your documents and file on time — here's how to set one up properly.
Set the reminder weeks in advance
Taxes take preparation. Set a tax reminder several weeks before each deadline so you have time to gather documents, not just a last-minute alert.
Add a document checklist
Store a checklist of the documents you need in the reminder note with Reminder Notifications, so you know exactly what to prepare when the alert arrives.
Use milestone reminders
For bigger filings, set milestone reminders to prepare in stages, plus a final day-before alert so the deadline never sneaks up on you.
