File your taxes early, suggests financial expert

A financial adviser is urging people not to wait to file their taxes this year. Kathryn McCall, a financial expert with CAPTRUST, says the tax deadline is April 15. She pointed out concerns about potential staff cuts at the IRS. A report suggests that the Trump administration plans to reduce IRS staff by 20%. Many of these cuts will affect employees who help taxpayers over the phone. McCall advises anyone with complicated tax situations to hire a good CPA for assistance. She believes this can help avoid problems when filing returns.
