Brock's Bookkeeping and Tax Service

If you have attempted to contact me through this phone number or page, please accept my apologies. As I have retired, my office is now closed, and my phone service has been disconnected. Although I will continue to work with my existing clients, I am no longer taking on new clients. I appreciate the loyalty and support shown to me by my clients over the years, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with each and every one of them. Through my business, I have met many wonderful people, some of whom have become like family to me. However, I have reached a point where I need to slow down and enjoy life, which passes all too quickly. ~Carla~

It’s a new year!!🎉Ok, so 25 days into it. By now you may have set goals and already said “forget that, I can’t do it!” but here is a goal that is important…putting together a financial goal a.k.a. a budget.
Some people say I don’t like budgets because it does not let me spend MY money. But the reality of a budget is to let you know how much you can spend and have enough for your bills and your savings. Then you don’t have a bill due and realize you’ve spent too much on entertainment, food and other things. 🤦‍♀️ it actually is a stress reliever to know you have enough money for all the things you have planned for the year.
If you don’t know how to start a budget, there are lots of tools, books and podcasts to get help. Look them up and start this year with a financial plan that gives your future stability.

I was on the radio this morning… I misspoke about the rent credit on the Indiana tax return.. it is up to $3,000 not $300. I knew what I meant, but I said it incorrectly.
