333. 💙 Three little numbers that mean more to me than most people will ever understand.

Yesterday, I pulled a list of clients who have trusted me to prepare their taxes for 5 YEARS OR LONGER and have confirmed they are still here, staying right beside me.

That number was 333. 🥹💛

Now, I have many more clients than that now, and I am beyond grateful for every single one of them. But when I saw those three numbers staring back at me, I couldn't help but smile.

If you know me personally, you know that the number 3 has held a special place in my life for YEARS. It's one of those things that has followed me through different seasons of life, and seeing 333 just hit differently.

But here's what really got me...

333 people.
5+ years of loyalty.
Countless conversations, life changes, marriages, babies, new homes, new businesses, struggles, and celebrations.

These aren't just names on a client list to me.

These are people who have trusted me year after year. People who have followed me through changes, supported my journey, believed in my work, and continued choosing ME.

And when I made one of the biggest decisions of my life to step out on faith and open Lacy's Tax & Accounting, so many of you stood right beside me.

You didn't have to.

You had choices.

But you chose to stay. And that means more to me than any dollar amount ever could. ❤️

I've always believed that success isn't just measured by how much money you make or how big your business becomes. Sometimes it's measured by the people who continue to believe in you, even when your circumstances change.

And yesterday, my number was 333.

I don't take that loyalty lightly. I don't take your trust for granted. And I certainly don't forget the people who helped me get where I am today.

To my longtime clients, my newer clients, and everyone who has supported this new chapter of my life — THANK YOU.

333 isn't just a number to me. It's a reminder of loyalty, relationships, faith, and just how blessed I truly am. 🙏❤️

With love and gratitude,

Sarah

And apparently, 333 is a number I can count on, too. ❤️

🚨💰 PARENTS & FAMILIES — BIG TAX NEWS FOR 2027! 💰🚨

💙💛 THE IRS HAS ANNOUNCED INCREASES TO THE CHILD TAX CREDIT & EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT!

If you have children or work and earn a lower to moderate income, these are two tax credits you'll definitely want to know about!

👶💵 2027 CHILD TAX CREDIT (CTC)

✅ Up to $2,300 PER qualifying child under age 17!

✅ That's a $100 increase from 2026!

✅ Up to $1,800 per qualifying child may be REFUNDABLE, depending on eligibility!

💥 YES! Even if you don't owe federal income taxes, you may still qualify for a refundable portion of the credit!

💰 2027 EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT (EITC/EIC)

The IRS has also increased the maximum Earned Income Tax Credit amounts for qualifying taxpayers!

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 MAXIMUM 2027 EIC AMOUNTS:

💵 No qualifying children — $685

💵 1 qualifying child — $4,573

💵 2 qualifying children — $7,552

💵 3 or more qualifying children — $8,496

🤯 That's potentially thousands of dollars in tax credits for eligible working families!

📌 IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER!

✔️ These are maximum amounts, NOT guaranteed refunds.

✔️ Your income, filing status, dependents, and other eligibility requirements determine what you qualify for.

✔️ You may qualify for BOTH the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit!

✔️ Even if your income is low enough that you aren't required to file, filing a return may allow you to claim refundable credits you're eligible for.

⚠️ These are TAX YEAR 2027 amounts, for returns filed in 2028. For the upcoming 2027 filing season, we'll be preparing 2026 tax returns using the 2026 credit amounts.

💙💛 LACY'S TAX & ACCOUNTING

I believe in making sure my clients know what tax credits and deductions are available to them! Your tax return isn't just paperwork to me — it's your hard-earned money, and I want to make sure you're claiming every dollar you're legally entitled to!

🚨💰 BIG TAX NEWS! THE IRS HAS ANNOUNCED THE 2027 STANDARD DEDUCTIONS! 💰🚨

📢 Good news, taxpayers! The IRS has officially announced an increase in the federal standard deduction amounts for tax year 2027!

💙💛 HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

💵 2027 STANDARD DEDUCTIONS:

✅ Single: $16,600 (up $500)

✅ Married Filing Jointly: $33,200 (up $1,000)

✅ Head of Household: $24,925 (up $775)

✅ Married Filing Separately: $16,600 (up $500)

✅ Qualifying Surviving Spouse: $33,200

👴👵 EXTRA TAX BENEFITS FOR SENIORS!

Taxpayers age 65 and older may qualify for additional deductions!

✔️ Additional standard deductions for age 65 or older or blindness.

✔️ An additional senior deduction of up to $6,000 per qualifying individual, subject to income limits and eligibility requirements.

📌 WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?

A higher standard deduction means more of your income may be protected from federal income taxes!

⚠️ IMPORTANT: These amounts apply to income earned in 2027 (tax returns filed in 2028). For the upcoming 2027 filing season, we will be preparing your 2026 tax returns using the 2026 deduction amounts.

💙💛 AT LACY'S TAX & ACCOUNTING, I BELIEVE IN KEEPING MY CLIENTS INFORMED!

Tax laws change, deductions increase, and knowing what's available to you matters! My goal is to help you understand your taxes, take advantage of every deduction you're legally entitled to, and make filing as stress-free as possible.

Tax season is right around the corner, and if you're a business owner, there are some VERY important deadlines you need to know!

⚠️ REMEMBER: Not everyone has until April 15th to file!

📌 MARK YOUR CALENDARS!

✅ JANUARY 15, 2027
💰 Final quarterly estimated tax payment for the 2026 tax year is due!

✅ FEBRUARY 1, 2027
📄 W-2 forms must be provided to employees and filed with the Social Security Administration.

📄 Required 1099-NEC forms must be provided to contractors and filed with the IRS.

✅ MARCH 15, 2027
🏢 PARTNERSHIPS & S-CORPORATIONS — THIS ONE IS FOR YOU!

• Form 1065 — Partnership Tax Returns

• Form 1120-S — S-Corporation Tax Returns

• Schedule K-1s must be provided to partners/shareholders.

🚨 These returns are due a FULL MONTH before individual returns!

✅ APRIL 15, 2027
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Individual Federal Income Tax Returns (Form 1040)

💼 Sole Proprietors — Schedule C

🚜 Farmers — Schedule F

🏢 Calendar-Year C-Corporations — Form 1120

💰 First 2027 quarterly estimated tax payment

🚨 IMPORTANT REMINDERS!

⚠️ Partnerships and S-Corporations can face substantial late-filing penalties, even if the business owes NO income tax!

⚠️ Filing an extension gives you additional time to FILE your return — NOT additional time to PAY taxes owed!

⚠️ You don't have to wait until the deadline to get your paperwork together!

💙 MY GOAL? To help you stay organized, meet your deadlines, claim the deductions you're entitled to, and avoid unnecessary penalties!

Whether you're filing a personal return, operating an LLC, managing a partnership, running an S-Corporation, or need help catching up on prior years, I'd love the opportunity to earn your business!
