Welcome to summer in New Hampshire!

We hope you had a wonderful Fourth of July and were able to enjoy time with family and friends. With brighter days ahead, and as we continue celebrating our nation’s 250th anniversary, it’s a meaningful time to reflect on the relationships that matter most.


As we look back on another busy season, thank you for trusting us with your tax planning, preparation, and compliance work. Your confidence in our team means everything, and we’re truly grateful to be your partner.


Fridays in July

As we move into summer, we want to share a small schedule update. Our offices will be closed on Fridays throughout July, giving our team additional time to rest, recharge, and enjoy time with loved ones after a busy season.


We remain fully committed to serving you and will ensure your needs are met with the same responsiveness and care you expect from us.


Thank you, as always, for your understanding and continued trust.

Client Resources & Quick How-To Guides

How to Make an Online IRS Payment


Need to make a federal tax payment? The IRS offers a convenient and secure option through Direct Pay at IRS.gov - ideal for balance due payments, estimated taxes, or payment plan installments.


Pay directly from your bank account (Direct Pay):


  • Recommended for one-time payments
  • No login or account required
  • Schedule payments up to one year in advance


Direct Pay also supports a variety of payment types, including gift and estate taxes. For a full list, visit: https://www.irs.gov/payments/types-of-payments-available-to-individuals-through-direct-pay


Prefer to use a card or digital wallet? The IRS accepts debit cards, credit cards, and digital wallets, though convenience fees may apply. Please note these methods cannot be used for federal tax deposits or employer payroll taxes.


Important Reminder:

Penalties and interest may continue to accrue until your balance is paid in full, so timely payment is key.
