Sharrett Bookkeeping & Tax

06/01/2026

In the last week we have had various clients receive letters of apology from the IRS after we responded to their notices asking for more forms or such explaining the Amended returns for the fire. Here is one example.

We first wrote to the IRS in Feb of 2025 in response to the amended return.

Be patient. We sent in more than 300 letters (about 1.5%) of our clients got letters from the IRS about the amended. Most of them have been resolved. Down to a very small handful.

It will work out.

A PSA.

The office of former House member Doug LaMalfa will continue working those IRS issues brought to their attention already but by law have to go silent here in about 10 days because of the Special Election in June. The staff can't take on more items than they can handoff to their IRS liaison.

Once the Special Election is held and staff is decided then they will again be able to work on items brought forward to them. If your IRS issue can't wait, then contacting Senator Padilla is your next step, if you don't reach out to an advocate directly.

A big shout out to our wonderful clients! We appreciate each of you and your loyalty and support.

Operational items for the next week or so...

No preparers are in the office until Monday 27th of April.

We have everyone who turned in after 13th March that DID NOT get called on Extensions as indicated at the time of dropping off.

If monies were to be pulled out directly - DO NOT PANIC if they have not been pulled. The IRS and States started pulling but not all transactions get done at once, especially those just filed (since the 10th or so).

Have a great Week

FYI - Representing Help
We talked with Carrie today at the office of Representative LaMalfa (who has passed). They are now operating under the Clerk of the House and you can use them to help rather than Senator Padilla or Shiff.

You have to get paperwork from them for the privacy but they have full authorization to work IRS issues again.

Please be safe on the roads.
We will have limited staff today but working - even if remotely.
Please be patient.

FTB has approved the forms!!!
Killing some trees with lots of printing today!!!

Talk about FAST!!!

We filed on Monday for some of our non-CA clients (their state forms are ready) and they got their REFUND today!!

4 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

CA forms are still not approved. We hope so soon.

Now this doesn't happen with the amended returns and we know that. I hope that the last of the stragglers get sorted.

Filings - 2025 Style

The IRS is open and filing.
The State of CA and the others have not approved the State based forms based on the OBBBB!!!

We can tell you totals and more and can legally file but a printed return will be BLANK!!

So we are holding on printing and more until the State of CA is set up with the proper forms.
