THE PERFECT SEASON FOR TAX RESOLUTION

Fret No More, It’s the Best Time to Take Control of Your Finances

Tax season seems like it’s always on the horizon, forever looming over our heads while it watches us in disappointment. The good news is that the dreaded pressure and paperwork that you’ve been avoiding all year doesn’t have to drag you down. The taxpayer has never had more leverage than right now. There’s no better time to get ahead of your problems with the IRS than while you still have the upper hand early on in the year. Putting a stop to your tax-related woes shouldn’t be something you avoid. Don’t let your problems escalate. With access to an experienced CPA who specializes in the self-employed, your problems with the IRS can easily be smoothed over. By being proactive with your planning and acting as soon as possible, you’ll be free to enjoy the things you love again without the IRS peeking over your shoulder. The unfortunate thing to keep in mind is that they mean what they say; they will try and collect what they claim you owe. This could mean losing your home or car or owing a large amount of interest on outstanding debts. But it doesn’t have to be this way. When you meet with us about fixing your situation, this can all be laid to rest. We will put together a plan that works best for you in your fight against the IRS by looking at things like your present and previous income and your requirements for payments. When we get the information we need, we can address the most pressing matters before going back to look at the previous years’ discrepancies.

4 Rainy Day Activities Enjoy Yourself! As the weather warms up, the urge to get out of the house becomes stronger. However, any plans you might have can be abruptly canceled due to rain. If you find yourself stuck inside for the day, here are a few activities to keep you occupied. Get Bakin’ A wet and chilly day is an excellent opportunity to warm yourself up with some baked goods. Bake your favorite snickerdoodle cookies or fudge brownies, and pour yourself a mug full of hot chocolate or cider to get through the stormy day. Read a Book If you have a bookshelf full of novels you’ve not cracked open, a rainy day is the perfect time to jump in. Settle down on the sofa with a cuddly blanket and enjoy some uninterrupted reading. The rain smattering against your windows creates the perfect background noise to delve into the pages of a new adventure. Create Your Own Film Festival Having a movie or TV series marathon is another great way to pass the time. You can watch some of the classics, like “Forrest Gump” or “Singing in the Rain,” fill the day with “The Lord of the Rings” series, or start a new Netflix show. If you want to involve your kids in the binge-watching, you can let them pick out one of their favorite movies too. Piece Together a Puzzle A rainy day is a great opportunity to pull out a puzzle. You can also grab your friends or family members and make the puzzle a team activity. With the whole day ahead of you, you’ll have several hours to devote to one of your favorite hobbies.

The sooner you take that first step, the sooner you gain the peace of mind and financial security you need to get back to the more

important things. We understand that your tax documents are disorganized and that dealing with the IRS is overwhelming. However, we deal with self-employed clients in this situation often and know how to navigate your paperwork (or lack thereof) to help you get a fair result and the peace of mind you deserve. Take control of your own financial destiny. There’s no time like the present because waiting until tomorrow isn’t going to make you feel better today.

Don’t let the rain keep you down! Instead, take advantage of the weather and enjoy a cozy day at home.
