It's Tax Time!
I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing holiday season! With the holidays over, that means that tax season is upon us. It is time to start getting your tax information organized to file your 2009 tax return. There were over 100 tax law changes again this year and they affect just about every taxpayer in one way or another. It is very important that you take advantage of every deduction that you are entitled to. We are currently taking appointments to prepare 2009 tax returns. Most of you should have your W-2's and other tax documents by the first week of February and we encourage you to call now to schedule an appointment to get your taxes prepared. Please download our Income Tax Data Itemizer and fill out the areas that apply to you prior to your appointment. If you are a small business owner, then please visit the forms section of our website to download the worksheets to fill out to record the activity in your small business for 2009. It is much easier for us to prepare your tax return if these forms are completed when you come in for your appointment. If you have any questions when you are filling out the forms, then please contact us and we can answer your questions for you. Our extended busy season hours are Monday through Wednesday 9am - 8pm, Thursday and Friday 9am - 7pm, and Saturday hours are 10am - 3pm. Feel free to call anytime between these hours with questions or to make an appointment. For those that live out of state or prefer not to make an appointment, the option is available for you to mail, email, or drop off your tax information. We encourage everyone to make an appointment earlier in the year as we get very busy the closer it gets to April 15th and we cannot guarantee a timely filed return if you schedule an appointment for early April.
We wish you a very happy 2010 and we look forward to seeing you during the next couple of months! Enjoy this months newsletter! |
In 2009, numerous new and expanded deductions and credits came into being for a broad cross-section of taxpayers: College tax benefits for parents and students; energy credits for homeowners who are going green; and even tax breaks for home buyers and car buyers.
Following is a summary of these and other key changes taxpayers will find when they start preparing their 2009 federal income tax returns.
