📣 4th Quarter Estimated Tax Payments Due January 15

If you’re self-employed, a business owner, or receive income without tax withholding, your 4th quarter estimated tax payment is due January 15.

This applies to:
• Contractors & freelancers
• S-corp owners
• Side-gig income
• Investment or rental income
• Anyone without sufficient tax withheld

Missing this payment can result in penalties and interest, even if you receive a refund later.

💳 How to make your January 15 payment

The IRS currently accepts payments by:

✔ Mailing a check or money order
✔ Paying online (bank account, debit/credit card, or IRS-approved apps)

Pay online here:
👉 https://www.irs.gov/payments

Electronic payments are the fastest, safest, and easiest to track.

💡 Not sure what to pay?

We can help you calculate your estimated tax and ensure it is submitted correctly and on time.

📣 IRS UPDATE: Paper Refund Checks Are Ending

The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS have announced that paper federal tax refund checks will begin to be phased out starting September 30, 2025. The government is moving to fully electronic refunds to improve security and reduce fraud.

Paper checks are more than 16 times more likely to be lost, stolen, delayed, or altered than electronic payments.

This does not change how you file your tax return — it only changes how refunds are delivered.

💰 How refunds will be issued going forward
Refunds will be delivered by:
✔ Direct deposit to a bank or credit union
✔ Prepaid debit cards or approved mobile apps
✔ Treasury-approved electronic accounts

Direct deposit remains the fastest and safest option, with most refunds issued in under 21 days. Paper checks (when allowed) can take 6 weeks or longer.

📅 This change affects 2025 tax returns filed in 2026.

💡 What to do now
✔ Make sure you have a bank account, prepaid debit card, or approved mobile account
✔ Confirm your routing & account numbers
✔ Update your refund preferences

📣 1099 DEADLINE ALERT — January 31, 2026

Did your business make payments to contractors or other non-employees in 2025?
If so, 1099s may be required — and the deadline is approaching quickly.

You may need to file a 1099 if you paid:
✔️ Contractors / freelancers — $600+
✔️ Rent — $600+
✔️ Prizes or awards — $600+
✔️ Medical or healthcare providers — $600+
✔️ Interest or dividends (varies)
✔️ Retirement / IRA distributions — $10+

⚠️ Important reminders many businesses miss:
• Do NOT include payments made by credit card or third-party platforms
(PayPal, Square, Stripe, Venmo Business).
➡️ These are reported by the processor on Form 1099-K, not by you.
• Make sure you have a completed W-9 on file for each contractor.

💸 Late or incorrect filings can result in IRS penalties, even if no tax is owed.

📅 Deadline to send 1099s to recipients: January 31, 2026

📞 Need help?
We’re currently preparing 1099 & 1098 filings for clients. Submitting your information early helps avoid penalties, corrections, and last-minute stress.
