"What? Why Am I Going on Extention?"

If your information was submitted after our internal deadline, it is very likely your return will need to be extended. This is not a reflection of the complexity of your return or its importance, but rather the reality of timing and workflow during the busiest part of tax season. Preparing a complete and accurate tax return involves far more than simply inputting numbers—it requires reviewing documentation, reconciling details, asking follow-up questions, and ensuring everything complies with current tax laws.

Even the most “straightforward” returns still go through a full review process to make sure everything is accurate, complete, and optimized. The tricky part is that everyone tends to feel their return is simple—and if all of those “simple” returns show up in the last few weeks before the deadline, things pile up quickly. If we tried to push everything through at once, we’d end up rushing, and that’s when mistakes happen (which nobody wants, especially when it comes to taxes).

Filing an extension simply gives all of us the breathing room needed to do things the right way instead of the rushed way. It allows us to take the time needed to prepare your return carefully, ask any necessary questions, and make sure you’re not missing out on anything. An extension ensures your return gets the attention it deserves—without the last-minute scramble.

And no….an extension is not a red flag! 

We Can’t File Without This One Step

Have You Signed Form 8879 Yet?

Form 8879 is your authorization that allows us to e-file your tax return.

If your return was uploaded to your TaxDome portal, please check your email for the Form 8879 signature request and follow the prompts to sign.

If you picked up your return in person, the form is located on the left side of your blue folder.

If you are married and file jointly, both spouses must sign Form 8879. If using our TaxDome portal, each spouse will receive their own email to review and sign. You do not need to login to portal to sign Form 8879.

Please take a quick moment to check and make sure your Form 8879 has been signed so we can e-file your return without delay. If your return has already been filed, you’re all set and this has already been completed.

Building Access - Elevator is Working!

Great News!

Things are getting back to normal aound here. The main entrance is open and the elevator is up and running once again.

You can enter through the main entrance and take the elevator to the 3rd floor, or access the building from the west side by Burger King and either walk up the stairs or follow the hallway to the center of the building and take the elevator.  Our office is located directly across from the elevator.

Parking is available in the front of the building, as well as on the east and west sides, wherever you can find a spot. There are also three handicapped parking spaces on both the east and west sides.

THINKING OF UNSUBCRIBING?

Please think twice before unsubscribing from our weekly e-blast, it’s the primary way we send time-sensitive tax news, deadline reminders, and important client updates. We’d love to call each of you personally, but we can’t reach everyone by phone; if you opt out and later say “we didn’t know,” we can’t be responsible for missed notices, deadlines, or missed information. We only send eblasts out once a week, so please think carefully before hitting that unsubscribe button.
