🍂 September Tax Tip! 🍂

We know… tax season feels a LONG way away right now. 😅 But September is actually a great time to get a few things in order before the end-of-year craziness begins.

Here are 3 simple things you can do now to make tax time a little easier later:

📁 Get your paperwork organized.
Keep receipts, donation records, business expenses, mileage logs, and other important documents together. Future you will thank you!

💰 Take a look at your withholding.
Did you get married, have a baby, start a new job, buy a home, or have a major change in income this year? Those changes can affect your tax situation.

📊 Business owners — check your books!
If you own a business, now is a great time to make sure your bookkeeping is up to date and your expenses are being tracked. Don’t wait until January to try to remember where all that money went! 😉

A little organization now can save you a LOT of stress later.

And if you’re not sure what you should be keeping track of or have questions about your particular situation, give us a call! We’re always happy to help. 💙

‼️Finding a letter from the IRS in your mailbox can be stressful, but don’t panic!‼️

Many IRS notices are simply requests for information, corrections, or explanations, and they often have response deadlines.

If you receive an IRS letter:

✔️ Read it carefully.
✔️ Don’t assume you’ve done something wrong.
✔️ Pay attention to any deadlines.
✔️ Reach out to your tax professional before responding.

At Bills Tax Service, we’re here to help our clients understand IRS notices and determine the best next steps. You don’t have to navigate it alone!

Tax Tip Tuesday!

Cleaning out your filing cabinet? Before you shred those old tax returns, here's what we recommend:

📁 Personal tax returns: Keep them for 7 years.

🏢 Business tax records: Keep them for 10 years.

Why keep them?

Your previous returns may be needed if you:
✔ Apply for a mortgage or loan
✔ Need to verify income
✔ Receive an IRS notice
✔ Need to amend a return
✔ Reference information from previous years

📄 Need another copy of your return?

• Premier Members receive copies at no charge.
• Non-Premier clients can request copies for $10 each.

Simply give our office a call. We'll verify your identity and either print a copy or securely upload it to your client portal.

Have a tax question you'd like answered in a future Tax Tip Tuesday? Drop it in the comments! 👇
