Brian here and today is July 30th and I have been trying to come up with words to express the emotions I have been dealing with since Monday.

As many of you know, Jason Perry of A1 Tax offered me a job back in 2013 and he is the one responsible for a large part of my training and what I have learned about the tax business.

I am not going into the background of his illness from about 6 years ago, other than to say, it was nothing short of a miracle, IMO, that he recovered as well as he did.

He started having some the same type of issues within the last year or so and for the last couple of months he has been in and out of the hospital with the doctors trying to treat his illness.

Unfortunately, they could not treat those issues and this past Monday, July 27th, my friend Jason passed away.

I ask that you please keep April, his wife, Abby and Jake, their kids, and Gene, his dad in your prayers. Below is obituary is linked.

I will miss him immensely. The professional aspect is one thing but more than anything else, he was my friend and I loved him dearly.

Jason Perry, beloved husband, father, son, businessman, and friend, passed away on Monday, July 27, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. His passing leaves an immeasurable void in the hearts of all who knew him. Above all else, Jason was devoted to his family. He was the loving

Good morning one and all. Brian here enjoying the last bit of cool weather we will probably have until the fall.

FIRST and foremost, all of us want to thank each and every client for your continued trust and support of our business. It is only because of your continued support that we continue to thrive.

SECOND, there seems to be an issue at the IRS and many clients across the nation, even those who are not in line for a refund, are receiving such a letter.

So, if you receive a letter as the one we are attaching, feel free to contact us and we will try to offer some guidance. More often than not it is due to a person owing and the IRS refunding any penalty that might have been included and paid.

Finally, we are always available to talk or to meet. As most of you know, we mostly work from home during the off season and we are not at the office as frequently. Please call us at 270-957-8967 if you need to speak with us and leave a message. We will contact you as soon as possible.

Again, thank you so much.

IRS announces special Saturday hours at Taxpayer Assistance Centers nationwide April 11 and April 25

IR-2026-50, April 10, 2026

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service announced special Saturday hours at select Taxpayer Assistance Centers across the country to provide in-person help for taxpayers. The upcoming Saturday hours will be April 11 and April 25 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

During these special Saturday hours, TACs in dozens of states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico will be open to assist taxpayers with a wide range of services. The IRS encourages taxpayers to visit IRS.gov/SaturdayHours to review participating locations and available services before traveling to an office. The IRS will continue to offer these special events through June. Taxpayers can receive help with most services routinely offered at a TAC. Cash payments, however, are not accepted.

In addition to special Saturday hours, over 200 IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers nationwide continue to offer extended weekday office hours to provide additional support during the filing season. The extended office hours will run through Thursday, April 30. To see if a nearby TAC is offering extended hours, taxpayers can visit IRS.gov and use the Contact Your Local Office tool to access the TAC Locator. The site lists the services offered, including extended hours, and provides directions to each office.
