It’s almost the end of 2009 and with every day that passes my dread grows: tax season approaches.

We all have different reasons for our anxiety this time of year and mine is probably simpler than most—I just really don’t like to do the paperwork. I mean, honestly . . . could they make it any more complicated?

 Tax forms hurt my brain–as do DMV forms, SSA forms, DOD forms, etc. In fact, I’m just going to say it: government forms in general are a pain in the neck. Unfortunately, some forms relating to federal student loans fall into this category.

 But since you have loans, if you need to complete a form, remember:

We’re here to help. Yeah, I know, so is the IRS, but we’re a lot easier to reach. So call us. Or, heck, leave a comment here and you’ll get a response almost, if not, as quickly.

Take it slow. Make sure you understand what you’re signing, sign in the right places, and provide documentation if necessary. And if you sense a headache coming on, remember: we’re experts and we’re here to help.

Keep Copies.  When possible, keep your originals and send us a copy—you never know when you might need this paperwork again.
