Just a friendly reminder that there are ✨15✨ days until tax deadline!
Individual income tax returns are due by April 15th, 2025.
If you request and extension - remember that extends the tax returns- not the tax liability $$ owed. IRS and State will still penalize you and get you with fees & interest.
If you have a balance(s) due and have already filed
You guessed it - it is due April 15th, 2025.

Lastly - we’d really like your documents in the office by tomorrow, April 1st, 2025 to ensure on-time filing.

Tax season will be here before you know it! Here are a few tips to avoid tax-time stress:

🗂 Stay Organized: Use an expense tracking app or spreadsheet to record and categorize expenses. Set up a filing system for financial documents and calendar reminders to avoid missing due dates.

💸 Plan Deductible Purchases: Consider moving forward with deductible items before year's end, such as education expenses, home office costs, or medical expenses.

💰 Maximize Retirement Contributions: Contribute to your 401(k) or IRA accounts to reduce your tax burden. 2024 limits are $23,000 for a 401(k) and $7,000 for an IRA, with extra contributions allowed for those 50 or older.

🔍 Check Your Credits: Take advantage of tax credits for education, energy-efficient home improvements, and electric vehicles.

Start your fall tax planning now to get organized and maximize your deductions and credits. Need help? Feel free to reach out to our team. We're here to assist with all your tax-related needs!

Happy Monday! Just a quick heads up that our office will be closed today and our team will be unavailable during that time.
The city of Brunswick is working on internet and installing new fiber optic cables, putting our internet down for the entire day. Not the plan we had for deadline week, unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about it.

Should you have any needs or questions, please leave us a voicemail or send us an email and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can. Leslie and Emily will be working from their laptops at home (where there is internet!) if you need anything.

If you still need to drop off documents, there is a slot in our door, or you can email them to us directly.
