Filing taxes these days has been made simple in a lot of ways thanks to the evolution of technology but Social Security is offering ups some tips before you sit down in front of the computer and filling out all the information required.

Jack Myers with Social Security in Springfield says a quick review of your W-2 before you start filing is a good idea and even recommends pulling out the Social Security cards.

If you are collecting Social Security benefits and are not in the workforce, Myers says your earnings could be taxable. He indicates you should be looking out for your SSA 10-99s.

Visit socialsecurity.gov for information regarding all the forms you will receive from Social Security and you can also seek out your local field office from there for further questions or information.
