4. Getting the Math Wrong
Math wasn’t your favorite subject in school… Am I right? Although we agree that tax-related calculators are pretty complicated, there’s no need to do them on paper! Use a simple tax return calculator when filing your tax return. This way, you’ll most likely avoid any math errors.
According to TurboTax, if you actually end up paying less than you really owe due to a math error, Uncle Sam will not be happy, meaning that he will probably force you to pay the difference of what you owe and the interest too.
Pro tip: Open your eyes when math kicks in!
