The Folsom Firm

As this tax season ends, I just want to take a moment to say thank you. Your trust, support, and referrals mean more than you know, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to serve you.

If you haven’t filed yet, it’s not too late—there are still options, and I’m here to help you get back on track without the stress.

And as always, if you or someone you know needs help with bookkeeping, tax planning, or staying organized throughout the year, don’t hesitate to reach out. My goal is to make your financial life easier year-round, not just during tax season.

Thank you again for being a part of this journey. Looking forward to continuing to support you!

📅 Tax Season Deadlines Are Coming Up!

Here’s a quick reminder of the two big filing deadlines:

March 16
✔️ S-Corporation returns (Form 1120-S)
✔️ Partnership returns (Form 1065)
✔️ Extensions for S-Corps & Partnerships

April 15
✔️ Individual tax returns (Form 1040)
✔️ C-Corporation returns (Form 1120)
✔️ Trust & Estate returns (Form 1041)
✔️ 1st Quarter Estimated Tax Payments
✔️ Individual & C-Corp extensions

Extensions: Filing by the original deadline allows a six-month extension to file, but not to pay taxes owed.

If you still need to file, or request an extension, now is the time! I'm here to help you stay on track this tax season.
