To all of my clients; with the snow storm anticipated.....
If you have not gotten me 4th quarter information, get it to me NOW. If you have gotten me some, but not all information, get the rest of it to me NOW. If you have gotten all your information to me, we are going to try our best to get it on the front desk by Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. Come get it as soon as we call. Perry is saying if all factors stay as they are, we will be closed a majority of next week. January 31 is next Saturday, so we have until the 2nd of February to get all data in. We need your help to get this done timely. Thank you.

NC Dept of Revenue has started the audits of contractors. Got my first call yesterday. Please know if you are a contractor, and you do repairs, maintenance and installation, you MUST charge sales tax. It is not an option unless your client signs an Affidavit of Capital Improvement. We have been expecting this for the last 5 years. COVID stalled the process. It is now in full action mode. And please be aware, audits are a spider web. Once they audit one, they are looking for the next one.

Please be advised that there is an active banking scam occurring within our marketplace. This is targeted toward business clients and is happening within the banking industry as a whole …this scam is NOT bank specific.
Fraudsters are impersonating banks and bankers by contacting clients thru text and phone call to steal online banking credentials. Calls or texts may have a specific bank name attached, they may even use a bankers name that you are familiar with or state that they are calling on behalf of your banker. They will state that fraud has occurred on your account, and they will need to send you a link to access your profile to assist you with stopping the fraud…..once you click the link, the fraudsters are IN….

For the 2025 tax year, if you do not itemize deductions, you can claim a deduction for cash charitable contributions up to $1,000 for single filers or $2,000 for married couples filing jointly.
This deduction is available for contributions made to qualified charities, such as houses of worship, but it does not apply to gifts made to donor-advised funds or private non-operating foundations. Also, only cash donations (including checks, credit cards, and debit cards) are eligible - donations of property such as clothing or furniture are not included.
