“No Excuses” early voting for the upcoming August 4 primary election opened yesterday. You can access the Secretary of State’s website to locate early voting where you live: https://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/goVoteMissouri/electionday
🗳️
At Estrada Tax Firm, our goal isn’t to tell you how to vote. We believe in helping our clients understand how proposed tax changes may affect them and how those tax changes would affect our business and your yearly tax bill from us.

📢If approved, Amendment 5 would authorize lawmakers to expand Missouri’s sales and use tax base, potentially allowing additional goods and services to become subject to sales tax in the future as part of a broader plan to eliminate the state’s individual income tax. The amendment would give the legislature greater authority to do so through future legislation.
🏦
This means taxing services such as:
• Tax preparation and accounting
• Legal services
• Hair salons and barbers
• Lawn care and landscaping
• House cleaning
• Home repairs (HVAC, plumbing, electrical)
• Auto repair and maintenance
• Veterinary services
• Medical and dental services
• Fitness trainers and gyms
• Consulting services
• Computer and IT services
• Marketing and advertising
• Photography
• Pet grooming
• Subscription-based services
…and many other professional services could potentially be taxed in the future.
🤔
How much would the tax be? It would be subject to:
• Missouri’s current state sales tax (4.225%), PLUS
• Any applicable local sales taxes
💰
Depending on where you live, the combined rate could easily be 7% to more than 10%, because Missouri has widely varying local sales taxes. The legislature could also decide to structure future taxes differently, so the exact rate cannot be predicted today.
🤔
For a tax preparation client, here’s a simple example:
• Tax return fee: $500
• If subject to an 8.5% combined sales tax:
• Sales tax: $42.50
• Total bill: $542.50

🚨 Good news from the IRS! 🚨

Starting with 2025 tax returns, many taxpayers will automatically receive relief from certain IRS penalties—no request required.

If you’ve consistently filed and paid your taxes on time over the past three years, you may automatically qualify for relief from penalties for:
✅ Late filing
✅ Late payment
✅ Late tax deposits

Previously, taxpayers had to request this relief manually. The new Automatic Exemption from Penalty (AEP) process is expected to help millions more taxpayers while reducing IRS delays and paperwork.

⚠️ Not all tax returns qualify, but for many individuals and businesses, this change means less hassle and potentially significant savings.

Have questions about whether this applies to you? Contact Estrada Tax Firm—we’re here to help!

This has been one of the busiest seasons I've seen for IRS notice issues affecting existing taxpayers. In recent years, the IRS has issued more than 11 million automated "math error" notices, an unprecedented volume that has left many taxpayers confused and, in some cases, dealing with incorrect assessments that require correction.

If you receive an IRS notice claiming you owe additional tax, don't assume it's correct—but don't ignore it either. While many IRS notices are accurate, I've seen an increasing number that contain errors or are the result of automated processing issues that require taxpayers to respond promptly to protect their rights.

Over the past several months, I've spent a significant amount of time helping clients challenge incorrect IRS assessments and resolve notices that should never have been issued. In many cases, a timely response has prevented unnecessary tax, penalties, interest, and collection actions.

Before paying any balance the IRS says you owe, have the notice reviewed by a qualified tax professional. A professional review could save you unnecessary taxes, penalties, and countless hours of frustration.

Have you received an IRS notice? Don't face it alone. Contact Estrada & Associates, LLC today for a professional review before taking any action. Even if you're unsure whether the notice is correct, we'll help you understand your options and determine the best course of action. Feel free to call our office or send me a private message to schedule a consultation. And if you know someone who has recently received an IRS notice, please share this post—they may save themselves significant time, money, and unnecessary stress.

💵 Could you have forgotten money sitting with the government?
❓
The U.S. Treasury says nearly $30 BILLION in matured savings bonds are still uncashed! Many were purchased years ago by parents, grandparents, or relatives and then forgotten in drawers, safes, and old paperwork.
👵
Old paper bonds may no longer be earning interest — but they could still be worth money. 👀
💲
Check those files, safety deposit boxes, and family records… you might find a little treasure hiding in plain sight! 💰
