IRS WARNING FOR 2026 🚨
Read this before you file 👀

The IRS is focusing on 3 big areas next season.

🧒🏽 Dependents
If you’re claiming kids or family, be ready to prove they lived with you. School, medical, lease or utility records matter.

💼 Side Hustles
Hair, rides, online sales, plates, anything paid to you. The IRS wants to see payment records like Cash App, Zelle, deposits, or invoices.

🏠 Filing Status
Head of Household claims must show you paid household bills and the dependent lived with you. No guessing.

⚠️ If your preparer isn’t explaining this and keeping you audit ready, that’s a red flag.

File smart. Stay protected.
The IRS is not playing in 2026 💯

And if you received a letter in the mail this is why!!! Make sure you can prove these credits you’re claiming this year be careful

As gets closer, you might consider hiring a to do your taxes. Free resources explain what differentiates one preparer from another and even share what red flags to watch out for. An IRS directory of preparers lists credentials and select qualifications to help you choose the right fit for you. Working with the right person can help reduce your tax bill or possibly get a refund.

Important Tax Season Reminder** 📢

I know tax season can feel exciting, especially when you hear about **refund advances** and fast money. But I want to be honest and look out for your **best financial interest**, not just speed.

💡 **It is ALWAYS smarter to wait for your W-2 instead of rushing to file for an advance.**

Here’s why ⬇️
• Filing without all of your documents increases the risk of **errors**
• Missing income can lead to **IRS delays**, **refund holds**, or even **amended returns**
• Advances are based on estimates — if numbers change, your refund can change
• Waiting ensures your return is **accurate**, **maximized**, and **stress-free**

⏳ **Fast is not always better — correct is better.**

👩🏽‍💼 **Self-Employed Clients:**
You are actually the **safest clients to file early** because:
✔️ You already have your yearly income records
✔️ You are NOT waiting on a W-2 from an employer
✔️ Your numbers are more stable and predictable
✔️ Less chance of last-minute changes or delays

If you are self-employed and your documents are ready, you’re good to go 👍🏽

👨🏽‍💼 **W-2 Employees:**
Your employer is required to send your W-2 by **January 31st**. Waiting just a little longer can save you a lot of problems later. Filing before receiving it can cause **refund delays** that last weeks or even months.

✨ My goal is not just to file your taxes — it’s to file them **RIGHT**.
Accuracy protects your refund, your peace of mind, and your future filings.

If you’re unsure whether you’re ready, **message me first** and I’ll guide you the smart way 💼📊

Hey y’all! 💛 If you’re trying to book a tax appointment, please don’t call from No Caller ID—I wont answer those for security reasons.
Just text me your name + number and I’ll get you scheduled ASAP.

🚨 This is exactly why so many people end up confused or audited later👇🏾

Chasing the biggest refund instead of accurate filing always comes back around 🔁

Every preparer should be following the same tax law 📚 so when the numbers keep changing from office to office 🚩🚩 that’s a red flag.

I’d rather educate💡 my clients 👩🏽‍💼✨ file it right the first time ✔️ and let the refund be what it’s supposed to be 💰 not what someone promised 🧾❌

A big refund may be better, but paying back the IRS is stressful and we don’t need that.
