Get Organized in Time for Tax Day with These Document Management TipsLONG BEACH, Calif., March 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Tax Day 2019 is fast-approaching. Whether you are still scrambling to get your documents together for your personal taxes, managing an accounting firm or running a small business and need to prepare your business or clients' expenses, it's not too late to assemble everything you need for filing without the hassle. The IRS recommends retaining a summary of business transactions throughout the year including gross income, deductions and credits, which means stacks of paperwork and receipts can easily pile up. But once you have these important documents identified, what is the best strategy for storing, safekeeping and easy accessibility? By the time April 15 rolls around, you will be ready to handle your business' expenses or sit down with your tax preparer after following these three recommended steps from Epson: 1. Organize and File Your Hard Copies 2. Digitize Documents for Easy Accessibility 3. Invest in the Right Document Management Equipment "One of the most daunting tasks associated with Tax Day preparation, for home and business owners alike, is accounting data entry," said Sean Gunduz, group product manager, Scanners, Epson America. "Epson designed scanning solutions like the ES-500WR, equipped with ScanSmart Accounting Edition Software1, which allows for automatic file naming and receipt recognition to address this pain point. Helpful tools like these can significantly simplify this tedious task, ultimately helping to ensure all appropriate documents are organized, accounted for and shared with the IRS by the tax deadline."
