Happy Boss’s Day to Bev Stitely and Steven Stitely! 🎉

This year Boss’s Day falls on a Friday, which is a little funny for our team. 🤭

Once tax season concludes, our bosses give us Fridays off as a thank-you for the long hours we put in from January through April. So we’ll be celebrating them from our couches, our gardens, and maybe a few golf courses. 😄

Thank you, Bev and Steven, for building a workplace where people feel valued all year long, especially after April 15!

Is your office chair secretly a tax strategy? 🪑 (Spoiler: probably not.)

There’s a popular idea floating around that if you buy office furniture yourself and rent it back to your own corporation, you can pull money out of your business with less tax. It sounds clever, and plenty of business owners have heard it.

But does the math actually work out? And could it create a tax headache you never saw coming?

Before you try it (or if someone’s already suggested it to you), read this first 👉 https://buff.ly/XqPMAsb

Tax Tip: The IRS just made penalty relief automatic. 🎉

If you've got a history of filing and paying on time, you may now qualify for penalty forgiveness without lifting a finger — the new Automatic Exemption from Penalty (AEP) program replaces the old "First Time Abate" request process.

Not sure if this applies to you? Let's talk. 📞

⏰ Final Deadline: Extended Returns Due Oct. 15, 2026!

If you filed for a 6-month extension back in the spring, time's up — your individual tax return is due October 15, 2026. This is the last stop; there's no further extension available after this date.

Filing late (or not at all) can mean penalties and interest on top of what you already owe, so don't let this one slip by. If you have any questions or last-minute details to finalize before we file, now's the time to reach out.

We're here to help you cross the finish line — give us a call with any questions.
