Today is the day tax filing can official start. For those dropping off, we have a bin on our porch with envelopes and a pen. Though right now there may be a bit of snow around that.

We sent out our yearly letter via email today. If you did not see it or are having trouble reading it, here it is below:

Dear Client,

It is that time of year again. I am excited to announce some positive changes. Over the summer I took a full-time position managing a CPA firm in NJ, however I love managing my client’s tax needs, so I am not going anywhere. To help me to be able to do all that I want to do, I have brought back Lindsey and Colleen. You may see them respond to correspondence.

I am excited to use our client portal as much as possible. I am going to be sending everyone a link to their email addresses if you do not already have access. I will also be emailing a client organizer and our engagement letter. Please upload your documents. You are welcome to mail documents to my home or drop off outside of my home, however we request all documents be copies, as we will not be returning originals. I will be able to meet a select number of clients in person; however, our preference is the use of our client portal. Our client scheduler is at mscprosperitytaxandaccountingservicespc.schedulista.com.

Due to a number of changes to the tax law contained in the One Big Beautiful bill and the rising costs of running a tax firm, I have had to increase my prices. All personal tax prep fees will start between $225-$275. I am offering a prepay special with a $25 discount, if you pay within the next week, and it is prior to my completing your return.

I will be sending you an organizer through our client portal for you to fill out. I am asking anyone who has a mortgage and pays real estate taxes, even if you have not been able to use them in the past years, to provide me with the information. If you work overtime or earn tips, please provide me with your pay stubs, and I may have more questions, upon preparing your return.

Tax returns will not be submitted to the government authorities without electronic filing signatures and payment for our services still stands.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to [email protected] or (215) 554-5444. Please note, that if I do not answer, please leave a message and I will get back to you when I can.

Sincerely,

Nicole Purtlebaugh

The IRS officially announced they will start accepting return January 26th.

This year we are fully implementing our portal for transfer of information, signatures, emails and more.

There are several changes this year when filing. If you pay large real estate taxes, you may be able to itemize again. Those that earn overtime pay or receive tips, some of your income MAY not be subject to federal income tax, though it will still be subject to state income tax. If you are 65 or over, you will get an extra $6,000 deduction , even if you aren’t collecting social security benefits. If course there are various income limits on changes.

While there are still additional changes in the tax law, these are the big ones. With all the changes and increased costs of our expenses, we will be raising our prices. Depending on how these things apply, base prices for personal returns will be between $225-$275.

We will be offering one last prepay discount if you pay by Friday January 16th. If you are interested in taking advantage of this prior to our email coming out, feel free to email us at [email protected].

Thank you for your support through the years.

If you’ve worked with Nicole between 2015-2021 you probably interacted with Lindsey. Lindsey’s husband wound up with a brain bleed and needs surgery. They have undergone such tragedy over the last two years and could really use help. Even though the goal is close, they can definitely use more help then requested. Please considering helping out Lindsey and Jon, and if you can’t momentarily, please share.

My family and I are not typically ones to ask for help, but it's needed now more than … Lindsey Gordon needs your support for Support Jon's Fight for Recovery

Starting today the IRS will no longer issue checks for refunds.

For the next few days, things will basically stay the same at the IRS despite the government shutdown. Once October 7th comes, there will be IRS changes unless things open back up.
