If you've been to our office, you've most likely met Bones. He's the best office dog in town!

Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to Bones yesterday. He spent his days brightening our office and we'll miss having him around to remind us to get out and stretch our legs with a little walk.

Oof!

It feels like everybody is getting the CP53E notice from the IRS. Take a minute to read this article from Taxpayer Advocate Service:

https://www.taxpayeradvocate.irs.gov/news/tax-tips/is-that-cp53e-notice-from-the-irs-a-scam/2026/05/

The biggest takeaway from this article is the push to sign up for an IRS.gov account so that you're able to make changes and verify information directly through that account.

Thought I'd come on and remind you that we're still here. End of the big push in the filing season conveniently coincides with things like the end of the school year, start of summer break, etc.

We're pushing through the days with our normal paperwork; payroll and sales tax are forever. So we'll be here as long as those things are still due.

We decided to hire a pro (not this guy).

We'll be closed again this Friday (4/23) to have our electrical work finished up. We're ready to run the ice machine and the microwave at the same time, it's so exciting!

We made it!

Another deadline next week.... And the week after that....And next month...

We're fine, good even. We'll sleep in the summer. It's fine.... 🫠

(It's really not bad, give us the weekend to sleep and we'll be bright-eyed again on Monday.)

So close.......

Forgot to mention..... We're back, with electricity (and AC, but it was a tough day on Monday).

We're still rolling through tax returns.

See you on the other side..... 😶‍🌫️

DON'T WORRY!!! WE'LL BE BACK!!!

The office will be "actual" closed this Friday (March 27). We're having some electrical work done that requires the office to go dark (literally).

And since we don't do tax returns by hand anymore.......

We're just gonna take this as a sign to take a mental health day.

(FYI, with no electricity, we have no Internet, which translates to no phone. So, hold your urgent tax questions until Monday, when we hope (🤞🏼) the power comes back on.)
