Filing tax forms is not very difficult, but if you own your own business or have your money in a lot of other things to make money, it can be complicated.
提交税表并不很难，但如果你拥有自己的企业或把钱投在了很多地方来赚钱，那就很复杂了。
Many people fill out (or write in the answers on) their tax forms on their own.
很多人都是自己填写（或在什么上面写上答案）税表的。
Other people have tax accountants, which are people who do taxes as their job, do it for them.
而其他人则有专门从事税务工作的税务会计师为他们填税表。
Either way, it is important to keep all of our tax information organized throughout the year so that we will be ready when it is time to file taxes.
无论是哪种方式，保持我们全年所有的税务信息有条不紊是非常重要的，这样在提交税表的时候我们就做好了准备。
Throughout the year, the company where you work takes withholdings, which is money that you never see because the company sends it directly to the federal (or national) government.
一年到头，你工作的公司都在扣缴预扣税款，那是你从未见过的钱，因为你公司直接将它送交给联邦（或国家）政府。
The withholdings are as much as you expect to owe (or need to pay) in taxes.
该预扣税款也就是你预计欠缴（或需要缴纳）的税款。
Then, early in the following year, you file your tax forms.
然后，在第二年的早些时候，你提交自己的税表。
If your total tax owed is more than the withholdings, meaning you have not yet paid enough taxes, you will need to pay the difference between what you have already paid and what you owe.
如果你欠缴的税额大于预扣税款，这意味着你尚未交足税，你需要补足已经缴纳的税款与欠缴税额之间的差额。
If the total amount of the taxes you owe is less than your withholdings, then you will get a tax refund (or money that is returned to you from the government because you have already paid too much).
如果你欠缴的税额小于预扣税款，那么你将获得退税（或由于你已经缴纳了太多的税，所以政府退还给你多缴纳的款项）。
