The following are some useful reminders of what can be done now:\r
\r
\r
-- Review your financial profile: Take a look at your past six months of\r
financial activity and earnings. If you expect your finances to\r
remain about the same for the remainder of the year, this will be a\r
good indication of what your annual financial picture will look like.\r
Is it similar to last year? Will you have more or less income,\r
credits and deductions? ""By estimating your year-end tax situation\r
mid-year, you can make adjustments in your lifestyle and to your W-4,\r
if necessary, which means fewer surprises come tax filing time,"" notes\r
