🍂TAX TOPIC TUESDAY🍂

Don’t let your tax records FALL through the cracks!

Fall is a great time to get organized before the end-of-year rush.

🍁 Keep receipts and important tax documents together
🍁 Track charitable donations and deductible expenses
🍁 Save business expense records throughout the year
🍁 Set aside tax documents as you receive them

A little organization now can save you time and stress when tax season rolls around.

Stay organized. Stay ahead. 🍂

📌Tax Topic Tuesday

MYTH: “Getting a tax refund means I paid too much in taxes.” ❌

FACT: A tax refund generally means you paid more in taxes throughout the year than you ultimately owed. Your refund is the difference between what you paid in and your actual tax liability.

💡 Tax Tip: A large refund isn’t a good or bad thing—but adjusting your withholding could potentially put more money in your paycheck throughout the year instead. It just depends on what works best for you!

📌Tax Topic Tuesday: An Extension to File Is NOT an Extension to Pay

Need more time to finish your tax return? You can request an extension to file, but remember: an extension gives you more time to FILE your return—it does not give you more time to PAY any taxes you owe.

💰 If you expect to owe taxes, you should estimate your tax liability and pay as much as possible by the original tax deadline to help minimize interest and potential penalties.

📅 More time to file ≠ more time to pay!

Not sure what you may owe or how an extension works? We’re here to help!

📌Tax Topic Tuesday: Protect Yourself with an IRS IP PIN

Did you know you can take an extra step to help protect your identity and your tax refund?

An Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) is a six-digit number issued by the IRS that helps prevent someone else from filing a fraudulent tax return using your Social Security number.

✅ Helps prevent tax-related identity theft
✅ Protects your refund from fraudulent claims
✅ Adds an extra layer of security when e-filing
✅ A new PIN is issued each year for continued protection

If you're interested in obtaining an IP PIN or have questions about whether it's right for you, our team is happy to help.

📌 Tax Topic Tuesday

“If I file an extension, I don’t owe anything until I file my tax return.”

❌ MYTH!

An extension gives you more time to file your tax return—not more time to pay your taxes.

If you expect to owe, it’s important to estimate your tax liability and pay as much as possible by the original tax deadline. Waiting to pay could result in interest and penalties.

📌 Remember: An extension to file is not an extension to pay!
