We have been receiving phone calls lately asking if we are still open - the answer is Yes! We are here every day, providing the same services that we always have.
It is tax time and if you still have not gotten around to getting your taxes prepared, just know that as of now, the tax deadline will still be April 15, 2020.
For our clients, if you feel uncomfortable coming into our office to drop your information off, we can receive documents by fax, email, regular mail, or contact us for other options.
We are concerned for the health and safety of all our clients and for ourselves, so we are keeping things in our office clean and sanitized.
We hope all is well with each of you and your families and that you are finding some source of peace amid all that is going on. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regarding your taxes, deadlines, etc.
Stay healthy and safe!

The end of the year is quickly approaching! Year-end is a perfect time for employees to verify their W-4 information. It is important to ensure your bookkeeper/payroll specialist has accurate names, social security numbers, and addresses on file for employees in order to prepare W-2's.
The deadline to send out Form W-2 to employees and to file W-2's with the IRS and State agencies is January 31, 2020. Make sure your payroll specialist/bookkeeper has this information well ahead of the deadline as it takes time to prepare these documents.
Did you know the IRS has a new, re-designed Form W-4 coming out for 2020. The new design reduces the form’s complexity and increases the transparency and accuracy of the withholding system. While it uses the same underlying information as the old design, it replaces complicated worksheets with more straightforward questions that make accurate withholding easier for employees.
Employees who have submitted Form W-4 in any year before 2020 are NOT required to submit a new form merely because of the redesign. Employers will continue to compute withholding based on the information from the employee’s most recently submitted Form W-4.
Get those records reviewed and updated to make the year end process go smoothly!

Let your lives be full of Gratitude always, but especially this month as we look forward and prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving.
