Professional Bookkeeping & Tax Service

I will be out of the office May 23, 2017-June 6, 2017 due to surgery. There will be someone there on Tuesdays 9-3 and Fridays 9-12, you can also leave a message on the machine and you will get a call back. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Just a reminder, that if you owe money on your tax return, go ahead and send it in with a note, stating that you need to make payments, this will save a penalty for not filing and owing money. Also we are not accepting any new clients only returning clients. Any returns brought in after the 10th, I cannot not guarantee you will have a tax return by filing date, it might get an extension. I don't live in the state of Washington, so there for I will not be extending my due dates to April 18, 2017, I will however be here until 5:30pm on Monday.

The scammers are back at it, I have had some calls this afternoon from clients, stating that the new tactic is that are giving badge numbers and stating an amount that is owed and that you have 30 minutes to an hour to get the money to them or the sheriff will come to your house and arrest you. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION IRS will not and demand money over the phone, you would have received regular letters and certified letters first for them!!

Well here getting ready for the new tax year. Here is a bit of the changes, I am sending out letters, you should have beginning next week. 1. IRS is not accepting returns sometime between January 15th-20th, also if you receive Earned Income Credit or Has Additional Child Tax Credit your refunds will not start being processed by IRS until February 15, 2017 and it will take longer for the refunds. 2. I must have the Health Care form 1095 A, B or C. 3. 1098T Education Credit, it is also required to have a paid summary from the college.

April 15th is fast approaching, just a reminder that if you file an extension, that does not allow extra time to pay, as you will be charged interest and penalty for not paying by April 15th, it is better to pay what you can and make arrangements for payments. On another note, as you may have heard you have until April 18th to file, because of a holiday for District of Columbia, since I do not live in District of Columbia my tax year will end on the 15th and I will not be open on the 18th.
