For clients who have filed 2025 returns, new proposals are now being sent out via email (coming from no-reply@ignitionapp.com). Please watch out for your proposal and act promptly - it will expire after 15 days without your digital signature.

Remember that all of our clients will be transitioned to the proposal model in the near future, and we trust that you will see its benefits to you, our staff, and our services.

If you don't have a Client Portal yet, please contact Toni (toni@bouldercpas.com) so she can email you an invitation, which is now required for setting one up. Please use the same email for both your tax return delivery and your portal set up so that all your tax returns will go automatically to your portal.

With your own secure and encrypted Client Portal, you can access your filed tax returns, see recent activity, pending tasks, and firm information. You can also send and receive documents, distribute K-1s, and review your tax payments or pay your vouchers.

Once your portal is set up, you can access it by clicking on that green link at the bottom of every email from your Tax Manager. Follow the prompts and you will get an access code sent to your email address. You will also create a PIN for accessing your portal on different devices such as your cell phone or tablet.

TRUMP ACCOUNTS: New, tax-deferred investment accounts for children under 18 are now available. Parents, guardians, and other individuals seeking to establish these accounts can do so by submitting Form 4547 with a tax return or through an IRS Individual Account. Children born in 2025 through 2028 will also receive a one-time $1000 contribution from the federal government, and the accounts will transition into traditional IRAs when the child turns in the year the child turns 18. (And there's an app!)

MILEAGE RATES: Just to keep us on our game, the IRS has issued an increased standard rate for the business use of a vehicle to 76 cents per mile, effective 7/1/2026. For the first half of the year, the rate is .725 cents per mile.

BOULDER HOMEOWNERS: To meet housing demands for the Sundance Film Festival starting in January 2027, Boulder has created a special Festival Lodging Rental License to provide unprecedented flexibility for local property owners to rent out their homes or ADUs. Go to the City of Boulder Rental Housing Licensing Portal to apply, and reach out to your Tax Manager about how this could affect your 2027 tax return filings.
