📅 Hello, September! Business Owners — There’s Another September 15th Deadline to Remember

September 15th isn't just an extension deadline.

It's also the due date for the 3rd quarter estimated tax payment for many taxpayers.

If you're self-employed, own a business, receive rental income, or have other income without enough tax being withheld, estimated payments can help prevent a BIG surprise when you file your return.

A few things to remember:

💰 Your estimated payments should be based on what's actually happening this year — not blindly copied from last year's vouchers.

📈 Making more than expected? You may need to increase your payment.

📉 Having a slower year? You may not need to send as much.

🔄 Had a major change in income? That's a good reason to revisit your estimates.

Good tax planning isn't about finding out what you owe when we prepare the return.

It's knowing where you stand BEFORE we get there.

Have a great September! 🍂

Your tax success starts with a plan — not a form.

💬 Don’t take our word for it. Take Josh’s.

Meet Josh from Tanglewood Property Management — one of the business owners we’re fortunate enough to work with.

Running a business is hard enough.

Your accounting and taxes shouldn’t make it harder.

For us, it’s not just about preparing a return once a year. It’s about answering the phone, being available when questions come up, understanding the business, and helping our clients make better decisions throughout the year.

That relationship is exactly what we’re trying to build with every business owner who walks through our doors.

🎥 We’ll let Josh tell you the rest.

Thank you, Josh, for trusting HM Tax Advisors with your business — and for taking the time to share your experience.

⏰ 60 Seconds From My Desk: Extension Deadlines Are Coming!

September is here, which means the extension deadlines are officially getting VERY close.

📅 September 15 — Extended S-Corporation & Partnership returns
📅 October 15 — Extended Individual returns

If HM Tax Advisors filed an extension for you and we’re still waiting on your information — NOW is the time to get it to us.

An extension gave you more time to file. It did not mean we could wait until September 14th or October 14th to start working on it. 😬

We want to make sure every return gets the time and attention it deserves, so please don't wait until the last minute.

📂 Get us your documents.
📞 Answer those outstanding questions.
✅ Let's get these extensions finished!

And if you're sitting there thinking, “I wonder if they still need something from me…”

There's a pretty good chance we do. 😂

Your tax success starts with a plan — not a form.

😂 WHEN DID FOMO TURN INTO JOMO?

Remember when a Saturday night with no plans felt like you were missing out?

You had to know where everyone was going.
What everyone was doing.
And sitting home on a Saturday night was absolutely NOT an option.

That was FOMO — Fear Of Missing Out.

Somewhere along the way, it became…

JOMO — JOY Of Missing Out. 😂

Now a Saturday night with:

🍕 Good takeout
📺 Something good on TV
🛋️ Your own couch
👕 Sweatpants
🚫 And absolutely nowhere you HAVE to be…

Sounds pretty damn good.

At some point, “Sorry, we already have plans” started meaning:

We plan on doing absolutely nothing. 😂

And I’m completely fine with it.

So which stage are you in?

FOMO or JOMO? 👇

And if you're Team JOMO…what does your perfect Saturday night look like?

🏈 IT’S ALMOST FOOTBALL SEASON… WHICH MEANS IT’S TIME FOR ONE OF OUR FAVORITE FAMILY TRADITIONS!

Every year before the Patriots season starts, Meghan, Kira and I make the trip up to Patriot Place and the Patriots Pro Shop to stock up on some new gear for the season. Here is a throw back pic to 2019.

And every year, I have one important decision to make…

The new jersey. 😂

Two years ago: Drake Maye.
Last year: Milton Williams.

Now I need to figure out who gets the honor for 2026.

So I’m putting it up for a vote…

🏈 WHO SHOULD BE THIS YEAR’S JERSEY?

Current player. No throwbacks. And I’m looking for someone I can hopefully wear for more than one season. 😂

Drop your pick in the comments 👇

We’re heading to the Pro Shop today, so I’ll let you know who wins!

GO PATS! 🔴⚪️🔵

☀️ Alright… summer is basically over.

We know the calendar says otherwise, but once the kids are back in school, it feels like somebody flipped the switch. 😂

So before we officially move on to fall, we want to know:

What was the BEST thing you did this summer?

A big vacation? ✈️
A weekend away? 🏖️
Concert? 🎶
Pool days? ☀️
Something with the kids?
Or maybe absolutely NOTHING — which honestly sounds pretty good too. 😂

What was mine? Visiting the Acropolis and Greece. It was stunning!

Drop yours in the comments. 👇

And now begins that weird New England stretch where it's 85° today and someone will be drinking a pumpkin spice latte tomorrow. 🎃😂

📚 DAY 3 OF SCHOOL: AN UPDATE

We were so excited for school to start.

New clothes.
New supplies.
Fresh start.
Back to a routine.

It was beautiful.

We are now on Day 3 and apparently the sweet child we sent to school on Wednesday has been replaced by an exhausted, hungry, slightly unhinged creature who lives in our house. 😂

Every question is annoying.

Everything is “fine.”

She’s starving despite there being absolutely nothing in the house she wants to eat.

And apparently waking up for school three consecutive mornings is roughly equivalent to working a double shift in a coal mine.

We haven't even made it to the first weekend. 😂

To all the parents out there:

How’s Day 3 going at your house?

Are your children still human?

👇😂

💭 Small business owners — we have a question for you.

If you could go back to the day you started your business and give yourself ONE piece of advice…

What would it be?

Maybe it’s:

“Charge more.” 😂
“Hire help sooner.”
“Stop trying to do everything yourself.”
“Save more for taxes.”
“Take the vacation.”
“Trust your gut.”
“Don’t take every client.”

Or maybe it's something you had to learn the hard way.

There are a lot of business owners who follow this page, so let’s hear it:

👇 What would you tell Day 1 you?
