Update July 31, 2026

We've had a successful summer session so far. Here is what we've done:

E-filed current year: 13

E-filed prior year: 7

Paper return: 4

Amended return: 4

Q&A: 19

The Q&A are mostly clients who received a letter from the IRS or clients who were out of scope.

We still have open appointments for Aug, Sep, and Oct. If you have a tax question, get a letter from the IRS, or need to file a current or prior tax return or amendment, make an appointment. We'll do our best to take care of you.

Go to www.calendly.com/sierra-vista-taxes and make an appointment.

Take Care.

IF you still haven't received all your retirement tax documents from SSA, OPM, or DFAS, check out my last post with details on how to get them.

If you need to file an extension you can go to this link and download the form here: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4868.pdf. Print the form and mail it to the address on page 4. IF YOU FILE AN EXTENSION, YOU MUST STILL PAY THE TAX YOU OWE BY APRIL 15, 2026. The extension is only for FILING YOUR TAXES. HINT: If you typically do not owe taxes and always get a refund, you don't need an extension, you can just file late with no penalties.

This year we are opening 2 days per month for May thru October to do late tax filing, amendments, or help you with any IRS correspondence you receive. Here is the link to make an appointment:
