We believe taxes don’t have to be boring, and working with your accountants shouldn’t be either. Yes, we do taxes, but what sets us apart is how we do it. Sixth City CPA is a female-owned professional accounting firm located in the greater Cleveland area. We're CPAs that make you feel seen, heard, and empowered. From scrappy startups to Fortune 500 companies, we provide scalable, strategic support

that makes tax preparation and planning accessible to anyone. If you're looking for a long-term advisor who will ask the right questions and make the extra effort for your small business, let's talk.

If you plan to make charitable donations this year, be sure to track them, even if you take the standard deduction! Under the new tax law, individuals that don’t itemize can deduct up to $1,000 ($2,000 for married taxpayers) of donations to charities in 2026.

While a small shift in the tax law (I know, a thousand dollar deduction isn’t a huge tax break), it does at least get you a deduction donating to the causes you care about. Just note that donations must be in the form of cash contributions (sorry, those donated bags of clothing don't count) and go toward qualified charities (those with 501(c)(3) status).

Reach out to talk about your tax strategy when it comes to donating to the nonprofits you support (they need you!). As with anything in life, little efforts can have a big impact to help those that need it most.

POV

Wednesday is April 15, and you just told your CPA you haven't done your taxes yet.

Consider this your reminder to:

👉 File your taxes or an extension
👉 If you owe taxes, pay them or sign up for an installment plan
👉 If you can’t electronically file any of your returns, make sure you mail in paper returns
👉 If you pay quarterly estimates, you need to pay your Q1 estimate

If you need help, reach out!

03/26/2026

The 4/15 deadline is coming up quickly, and we all know what that means—individual tax returns are due! Plus, if you’re one of the lucky taxpayers that pays quarterly estimates, don’t forget that the first quarter of 2026 payments are also due on 4/15.

What to consider 👉

Right now, focus on making sure your tax return is paid and filed by the deadline or see if you need to extend. Just remember that an extension gives you more time to file, not more time to pay. Interest and penalties on balances due will start accumulating on 4/15 no matter what.

Know your options 👉

If you can’t pay your balance, you can set up an installment plan with the IRS. These plans currently have a 7% interest rate, which is often lower than most credit cards.

As the deadline quickly approaches, let’s get the best tax return for you!

02/24/2026

Heads up: March 15 filing deadline (and it’s okay to extend).

If you run an S corporation or partnership, your business return is due March 15 (calendar-year filers). If you’re not ready, breathe... filing an extension is perfectly fine and gives you six more months.

Just remember: the extension moves the paperwork due date, not the time to pay any tax due.

Bottom line: Don’t stress; extensions are normal. Use them to lock in the best tax moves (like bigger write‑offs and QBI) and file a clean, accurate return.

I want to talk about community.

At the heart of Sixth City CPA is community. When you choose to work with me, you're helping build something meaningful, where we support one another and thrive together.

I want to see you reach the goals you set out to achieve. My goal? To contribute my insight and guidance to building a flourishing community – with you and your small business at the center of it.

Through tax strategy and planning, we can uncover areas of opportunity for your business and pinpoint gaps or challenges that need to be addressed. We can help you grow.

In past lives, I worked at top accounting firms, local tax offices, and as an independent contractor. Why’s that important? You could say I’ve seen it all!

My background allows me to advise large business owners, but maybe even more importantly, my experience lets me scale alongside you as you grow your business. While your operations might be scrappy or in its infancy, as you grow your client base and employee headcount, your tax needs shift.

As this happens, it’s important that the decisions you make about your financial strategy are keeping up with it. This means knowing what tax credits to take advantage of or determining how to structure your business.

At Sixth City CPA, we aren’t just doing your taxes. We are providing strategy and guidance for your business. We apply tax and consulting expertise into everything we do, backed by years of experience doing it. And as you grow, we want to grow with you.

There’s no time like now to remind you to make those year-end tax moves count! December 31 is the last day to make any 2025 401(k) and HSA contributions, payroll and withholding adjustments, 529 contributions, and charitable contributions before the new year starts.

Between the holiday shopping, cookie baking, and anything else on your to-do list this week, consider finding an hour to meet with me, and we’ll discuss what you need to do today to set yourself up for a successful 2026. Don't leave your hard earned dollars on the table!

If you’re anything like I am, whenever you read about “tax tips” for kids, it usually feels like...

👉 That's nice, but my family doesn't qualify
👉 That seems like straight-up tax fraud
👉 Well, okay, but the time and energy to do that greatly outweighs the benefits

For those of you that relate to this: here’s something that actually applies (well, to me anyway).

With Michael and Susan Dell contributing $250 to individual investment accounts (or, the “Trump savings account"), children up to age 10 qualify to receive this gift – unlike the One Big Beautiful Bill’s $1,000 contribution, which is limited to children born between 1/1/25 and 12/31/28.

This $250 gift is a legitimate opportunity to start building a nest egg for your kids, and it’s much more realistic than some of those “theoretic” tax breaks.

The only catch is that you need to live in a zip code where the median household income is under $150,000 to qualify.

More info can be found here: nytimes.com/2025/12/02/business/trump-accounts-children-dell.html. And keep up with Sixth City CPA’s page for updates as this develops. Once we get the sign-up details, we’ll share it here.

Finish the tax year strong!

From now until mid-December, we're offering one-hour 2025 tax planning appointments – this is a chance to check in on your income and withholding to make sure there aren’t any surprises when we file next year.

We’ll also use this time to go over new tax law changes so you and your business can make applicable last minute, year-end strategic moves.

To book a slot, choose the "Tax Planning Review" option on our calendar 👉 calendly.com/sixthcitycpa. Shoot us a message if you can’t find a time that works for you, and we’ll make sure to get you on the schedule.
