PSA...for those of you who had a balance due the IRS and have now received a letter requesting you to update your direct deposit information: This is a known "glitch" with the IRS. I feel like we've been saying this since the early COVID years and I swear it's true, lol!

Per the IRS-The IRS is sending CP53E notices in 2026 due to a major push to phase out paper checks, which has caused a surge in letters to taxpayers with missing or mismatched direct deposit information. While intended to verify banking details for refunds, many of these letters are being sent in error to taxpayers who did not request a refund, including those with automatic debit payments, due to a known system glitch. Key details regarding these letters: System Glitch: Many taxpayers receiving CP53E letters actually have an overpayment that was applied to next year's taxes, not a refund owed, making the notice incorrect. New 2026 Rules: The IRS is freezing refunds if direct deposit information is missing, requiring taxpayers to provide it or wait for a delayed paper check. Verification: Taxpayers should check their online IRS account to verify if a refund is actually pending. Action Required: If the letter is legitimate, you may need to update banking information online; if it's a false positive, it can often be ignored, though it causes confusion.

April 1st...already. Just an update! All returns that were "in-house" on or before 03/20...we are furiously working to complete those returns before the deadline. Any return rec'd after that date will more than likely be put on extension and worked during May. If you have yet to drop your information off please do that as soon as possible so we are not filing extensions at midnight on 04/15. If you are not ready to drop off or make an appointment, you will need to call and request an extension. Thanks, Keri & Team.

GOOD MORNING! Time is flying by and April 15th is right around the corner. We understand your file has been here a while. Don't worry, we've kept it safe and comfortable while it waits in line. Its made several new friends and is enjoying its new home away from home, lol! Seriously though...we're working as diligently as we can and will reach out with questions or an update as soon as possible. If you have been contacted that your return is complete and ready for pick up...those files are getting uncomfortable. Their space is becoming tighter and tighter...a few have raised concerns about "personal space" and all...lol! Have a great day and we'll all touch base soon! Keri & Team

Office shenanigans, Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We're full, but never to full for you!
We have some exciting news to share—our appointment calendar is officially FULL for the April 15 filing deadline! 🎉 Thank you all for the incredible response and for trusting us with your tax preparation this season. We truly appreciate it!
But don’t worry if you haven’t had a chance to meet with us yet. We still have plenty of room for document drop-offs and secure uploads. That means you can send in your information anytime, and we’ll take it from there.
And here’s the best part: if we can’t complete everything before April 15, we can easily file an extension for you and then schedule a relaxed, unhurried appointment in June to finalize your return. No stress, no rush—just a little extra breathing room.
So if you’re still gathering documents, feel free to:
• Drop off your paperwork at the office
• Upload documents through our secure portal
• Reach out if you’d like us to file an extension and book a June appointment
Thanks again for such an amazing tax season so far—we’re grateful for each and every one of you! If you have any questions or need help getting your documents to us, just let us know.
Looking forward to helping you soon!
Warmly,
Keri & Team

Y'all...even with salt, shovels, hoes...we have still not been able to get the gates nor the walkways free from the ice. But we are now the proud owners of new hoes and shovels since the old ones handles broke. Everyday I think tomorrow's the day, but alas...it is not. Remember you can upload documents electronically via the portal. Stay safe and warm! Keri & Team

As most of you know, our office sits at the top of a hill. Even with today's warmer temperatures the sidestreets and our walkways are still covered in ice. We are unfortunately not going to be open to the public again tomorrow. Thanks for your understanding as we are making decisions based on safety for people and vehicles. Keri & Team
