IRS Now Accepting All Tax Returns - kcentv.com - KCEN HD - Waco, Temple, and Killeen

(KCEN) -- The IRS has finished updating its tax-processing system and is now accepting all 2012 returns.

If you still need to file, smartmoney.com has a seven-point checklist to help you prepare your own tax return policy or to catch your preparer's errors or fraud.

That's right, fraud.

You're responsible for what's entered on the forms, so it's important to read over the entire tax return before it's submitted because your preparer may have made a mistake or even committed fraud to get you a better refund.
