A Little Preparation Now May Make a Big Difference Later

The next tax season may feel far away, but the best time to plan is before the deadlines arrive. Meeting with your tax professional during the off season gives you time to understand your options, make informed decisions and avoid surprises at filing time.

Have you experienced a major life change this year? Selling a home, buying a rental property, getting married, changing jobs, receiving an inheritance, starting a business or making other significant financial moves can affect your 2026 tax situation.

Preparing now helps you approach tax season with greater confidence and fewer surprises. Call or email us today to discuss your questions or schedule a tax planning meeting.

Receive a Notice from the IRS? Contact Us.

Receiving a notice from the IRS can feel stressful, but it doesn’t always mean something is wrong. Many simply request additional information, explain a change to your tax return or confirm account activity.

If you receive an IRS notice and have questions, contact us before responding. We’ll review the notice with you, explain what it means and help you determine the appropriate next steps.

As a proactive step, we also recommend creating an ID.me account to securely access your IRS Online Account. Through your account, you can verify your identity, view tax information, manage your account and update certain personal information without mailing sensitive documents or waiting on hold with the IRS.

To learn more or create your account, visit ID.me or access your IRS Online Account. For assistance with setting up or accessing your account, please contact the IRS directly at 1-800-829-1040, or visit the support resources available on the IRS website.
