Refund deposits are taking an abnormally long time this year due to the stimulus recovery credit amoung other COVID related challenges the IRS is facing. Please be patient. Currently some refunds are still on processing status 60+ days after e-filing.

Tax payments are taking 2-3 weeks after scheduled payment date for those who choose epayments. Mailed in payments have no time frame for when they will be cashed and credited to your account. We expect at least 4-6 months or more. Please plan accordingly.

Please note, the last day to file taxes this year is May 17th.

Finally, thank you to our absolutely amazing clients. You have all been wonderful this year and we appreciate all of you very much. Thank you for your kindness and understanding as we navigate all the new law changes mid tax season.

Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone.

Threaten legal action.
