Today is the last day of filing 2011 taxes.  We have been busy finishing up returns and filing extensions.  Thank you to all our wonderful clients we have been able to help this tax season.

We will be out of the office for the rest of the week for a well deserved vacation, then we will be back in the office on Monday April 23rd.  The 23rd is the big day for our drawing of the iPad2!  We have had many excited clients who entered our drawing.  Check back next week to see who the lucky winner is!

Just a reminder that personal taxes and 1065 business taxes are due on April 17th this year.  That means you have 3 1/2 weeks left to get your taxes done.  You may also request an extension to file your tax return.

Well, yesterday was the corporate tax filing deadline.  We’ve had a busy week getting all of those done and filing extensions for clients that weren’t ready yet.  Now it’s time to look forward to the next few weeks.  We will be busy preparing personal returns and other business returns.  Remember to get your taxes filed (or request an extension) by the 17th of April.  Yes, that’s right, you have two extra days to file this year!

When filing your tax return, the fastest way to receive your tax refund is to electronically file your return and choose to direct deposit your refund.  Now you can deposit your refund into up to 3 different checking or savings accouts.  That makes it easy to specify what amount you would like to save for future use.  If you are having a tax professional prepare your return, remember to bring your bank routing number and account number.

Just a reminder: If you filed an extension to your business or personal taxes, the deadline is coming up.  For all businesses, the deadline to file your taxes is Thursday September 15th.  For your personal taxes, the deadline is Saturday October 15th.
