New tax law in effect for this filing season. If you have any of these tax credits; College Education credit, EIC (earned income credit), or refundable Child Tax Credits; you can file your return as normal starting January 23, 2017, but the IRS can not issues refunds until after February 15 for these refunds and anticipate that it will be February 27 before they start issuing these refunds.

Also if you have Education credits, Taxpert will need to see your 1098T or an actual itemized statement from the college or colleges attended for each student. New rules hold us accountable for verification and fines are up to $5,000 per tax return we fail to verify properly.

We have the same rules on the other two credits and therefore must see Social Security cards for new children on your return and birth certificates if their last name does not match taxpayer or spouses last name. again we can be fined up to $5,000 per person we fail to properly verify on the return per credit.

IRS letter CP01A, taxpayer ID theft PIN number assignment letters are being mailed now.

I got mine yesterday, if you receive this letter it is important that you get it to your tax preparer, not having the assigned PIN number results in having to mail your tax return to the IRS and 3 to 6 months process time before refund will be made.

Montgomery county TX ( along with several others) was declared a Federal disaster area in May 2015. The IRS granted tax relief to taxpayers in these area, if you live in the disaster area or your records are in the area ( your tax preparer is in area and has your information). this relief moved the due date of tax returns to Nov 2, 2015. It also granted relief for 941 filing and deposits due after May 15 and before Oct 15. So if you get any notice of penalty from IRS for this time period, let us know, we may be able to get it abated.

Montgomery County looking for huge bond issue with May 9 election. Research the issue and get out there and vote. Personally I am worried about issuing another $350 million in bonds to pay for roads. Here is the article I read. I do not always agree with this organization, but they are right about the need for taxpayers to be informed and to vote once they have studied the issues. I like to say if you don't study the issue you should not vote and if you don't vote you have no right to complain!

Dear Friends,

In a sneaky but well-planned procedure, Montgomery County Commissioners recently declared that on Saturday, May 9, residents will decide whether the county should take on over a quarter billion dollars in new debt.

They say the money is needed to fund road projects.

But many of the projects are unnecessary and unwanted.

This would put the county's total debt at nearly a BILLION dollars and require a huge tax increase!

New debt - especially debt whose repayment schedule hasn't been made public yet - deserves more serious deliberation than county leaders have given to this.

Unfortunately, taxpaying citizens have been sadly under-informed thus far.

If passed, this new debt could obligate your children and grandchildren to pay it off.

By springing the vote on taxpayers during an “off” election season, county leaders are betting on a low turnout to guarantee passage.

We agree there are certain necessary projects that have to be done for Montgomery County to grow, but throughout this process, our leaders have failed to even attempt to identify more responsible ways than debt issuance to fund the improvements.

Instead of holding TXDOT accountable for financial obligations already made on many of our state highways, they are expecting you - the taxpayer - to fund their pork projects locally.

County Judge Craig Doyle admits a bond package of more than $200 million would likely require a tax increase.

They are asking for 350 million dollars.

Why do they want to raise taxes now? Texans already passed a Constitutional Amendment in November to raid our rainy day fund to pay for infrastructure.

Remember, if this bond passes, the debt will fall on local taxpayers.

And the commissioners filling their coffers with this bond money won’t even be obligated to spend the money on our roads.

There are other ways to fund street maintenance and essential infrastructure projects.

TXDOT has already budgeted hundreds of millions of dollars for state roads right here in Montgomery County.

We agree more infrastructure is needed in our rapidly growing community.

But some of the projects included in this $350 million bond are unnecessary and there is adamant opposition to the urbanization of our rural hometown atmosphere.

The commissioner's own study showed some roads would have an increase in traffic of 42 percent. Is more traffic what you want?

So just WHO would benefit from this. . .
. . you - the taxpayer. . .
. . or the well-connected politicians and the developers who’ve given nearly $100,000 in political contributions to sell Montgomery County on the idea of more debt and higher taxes?

On May 9, Montgomery County voters will get the chance to decide if they want to add new debt and raise taxes on everyone in the county.

Please learn the facts about this proposal before heading to the polls, and ask your friends and family to do the same.


Let's keep Montgomery County accountable.

In Liberty,

P.S. On Saturday, May 9, Montgomery County voters will face a choice.

Will they add new debt and a tax hike for road projects that are unnecessary and unwanted, or will they tell the County Commissioners to take the bond project back to the drawing board?

Please learn the facts before heading to the polls, and ask your friends and family to do the same.
