Tax with Brenda

New profile pic because I mean.. how cute 💁🏻‍♀️

As chaotic as this all looks… I still love what I do ❤️

Grateful for my clients, this crazy season, and the work that keeps me on my toes. 👩🏻‍💻

✨ Happy New Year! ✨
As we welcome a new year, it also means one thing we all know is coming… tax season is officially upon us 🥲

As you start gathering things, here are a few simple tips to make filing smoother this year:
• Start collecting your tax documents early (W-2s, 1099s, mortgage interest, childcare, tuition, etc.)
• If you’re self-employed or own a business, make sure your income and expenses are organized
• Don’t forget about life changes in 2025 — new jobs, moves, dependents, side income, or major purchases all matter
• If you made estimated payments, keep those confirmations handy

🚨 Friendly reminder: There were important updates under the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) that may impact individuals and business owners this year — especially around deductions, credits, and reporting requirements. These changes aren’t one-size-fits-all, so guidance matters more than ever.

I’m grateful for the trust my clients place in me year after year. Thank you in advance for another opportunity to serve, support, and guide you through tax season with clarity and care.

Cheers to a smooth filing season and a successful year ahead 🥂

Q2 estimated tax payments are due June 15!
If you’re self-employed, freelancing, or expecting a jump in income, this is your reminder.
⁠
The IRS wants taxes paid as you earn, not just in April — skipping quarterly payments can mean penalties.

Not sure how much to pay? Check what you’ve made so far this year or talk to a tax pro.

Set a reminder and take care of it early — Future You will thank you! 🙌

I’ve shared an update on Breton Tax Services (Snow & Breton) on my personal page, and it’s absolutely necessary I share it with all of you who have followed me for a long time!

This past year marked a significant step forward in my business and career as I joined Cohen & Associates, a highly respected CPA firm. The opportunities and resources they’ve provided have exceeded my expectations, and merging my practice with theirs has enabled me to deliver even greater value to my clients—something I couldn’t have achieved on my own. I’m excited for this new chapter and look forward to growing in a field I’m passionate about, alongside skilled CPAs, as I continue to enhance my knowledge and expertise.

After six years of successfully running my own business, I’m ready to take the next step and grow further in the field that has given me so much. I’m eager to learn from those at higher levels and continue evolving both personally and professionally. To everyone who has supported me from the very beginning, I couldn’t have made it this far without you—thank you!

On an educational milestone, I am thrilled to announce my acceptance into Bryant University, where I will pursue my master’s degree in taxation —a dream I have held for quite some time.

🚨 Great news! The 2025 Tax Season has officially begun, with the IRS now accepting tax returns! If you’re still gathering your documents, that’s perfectly fine—it’s still early in the process. Businesses, however, should ensure their financial reports are prepared for the March 15th deadline (s-corps and partnerships).

📅 A quick reminder: in-person appointments are limited, as all else will take place online.

🤝 My team and I are here and ready to support you throughout this tax season! Let’s work together for a successful filing experience! 💼🌟

THANK YOU ♥️✨

We will never forget those who lost their lives, who responded first, who lost loved ones, and all who selflessly jumped into action for our country on September 11, 2001. 🤍

Don't forget to mark your calendars and ensure you've filed or made any necessary tax payments on time. 💸

This a topic of confusion for many businesses. Especially all my self-employed people out here.

Spoiler: creating an LLC does not automatically give you any tax breaks. There are so many things to consider when choosing a correct entity for your business.

Get familiar with regulations and requirements for each. There are fees, there are deadlines etc. It really isn’t as simple as saying “I’m an LLC” - it’s insignificant if you don’t know what you’re doing.
