Learn a NEW SKILL!!!

Weekly Federal Tax Compliance Brief
Bottom line: No new final federal rule changed Form 8867 or paid-preparer due-diligence requirements this week. The biggest priorities are approaching deadlines, scam prevention, data security and 2027 filing-season preparation.
1. Urgent deadlines
* September 30: Special filing and payment relief ends for eligible taxpayers affected by events in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. Confirm eligibility before applying relief; taxpayers outside the covered area may need to contact the IRS.
* October 15: Final transmission date for most 2025 individual returns filed under Form 4868 extensions.
* October 20: IRS deadline for retransmitting rejected extension returns. The extension did not extend the April payment deadline, so unpaid balances may continue accruing interest and penalties.
Priority action: Create an extension-client list showing documents missing, balance due, readiness status and reviewer assignment. Aim to transmit by October 12 not October 15.
2. New official IRS app launched
On September 25, the IRS replaced IRS2Go with an expanded IRS app. Clients can access selected transcripts, balances, notices, payments, refund information and IP PINs. Existing IRS2Go users should receive the update automatically.
Why it matters: This can reduce routine calls and help extension clients obtain transcripts or IP PINs quickly.
Client-education update: Direct clients only through IRS.gov or verified Apple/Google listings. Warn them about look-alike apps and unsolicited IRS links.
3. IRS warning: Fake “Tribal Tax Credits”
The IRS says promoters are selling nonexistent credits under names such as “Tribal Tax Credit,” “Native American Tax Credit” and “Sovereign Tribal Tax Credit.” Claims may result in additional tax, penalties, interest and possible criminal exposure. IRS acceptance of an e-filed return does not establish that the credit is legitimate.

01/27/2026

January 26, 2026: Official opening day for the general filing season and the launch of IRS Free File Fillable Forms for all income levels.
February 15, 2026: Earliest date the IRS will begin accepting e-filed returns that include Form 4136 (Credit for Federal Tax Paid on Fuels).
April 15, 2026: Standard deadline for filing individual tax returns and paying any taxes owed.
October 15, 2026: Deadline for taxpayers who requested a six-month filing extension.
Refund and Filing Information
Direct Deposit: To speed up processing, the IRS strongly encourages using e-file and direct deposit.
Refund Timelines: Most refunds are issued within 21 days of filing.
Tracking Refunds: Taxpayers can use the Where's My Refund? tool 24 hours after an e-filed return is received.
EITC and ACTC: Refunds for those claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit are expected to be available by March 2, 2026.

Book Your Tax Appointment Today!
I’m happy to announce that
Platinum Tax Pros Inc. start accepting appointments for Tax season 2026 and will operate Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm and Saturday 10am-3pm. Sunday Closed!!
Click Below book your appointment as due to the high volume of clients, and my dedication to providing you all with the highest quality service, accepting walk ins - & drop off service.
TAX FILING FORMS: To prepare for the upcoming season, ensure that ALL of your employers from 2026 have your CURRENT mailing address ASAP to avoid any delays in getting your forms in the mail. Many employers now also offer an online portal for the W2, so check this as well, as those usually post by mid-January giving you a head start on the mail system. You may also receive forms from any College/University you may have attended, banks for mortgage and interest, 1099-Ks from any merchant service including CASHAPP, Venmo etc. so be sure to update these addresses as well or find out how to access them online.

SELF EMPLOYED: Remember the IRS has changed so much over the last couple of years, and this year more than ever they are auditing small business owners for proof of income AND expenses. Be sure to have your LLC/Corp Documents, EIN with the IRS, business bank account statements and/or income ledgers and proof of expenses ready to provide to your tax preparer. I have had a lot of my small business owners tell me they used cash app/venmo to collect funds, which is fine as these institutions will now be sending out a Form 1099-K to anyone that "collected" more than $600.
TAX ADVANCES & REFERRAL FEES: Tax advances will begin January 2, 2026 and are UP TO $8,000 (please note this amount is solely approved by the bank and has nothing to do with your tax preparer). With this being said, please also keep in mind that when you file for an advance, we CANNOT MAKE CHANGES TO THE RETURN LATER, unless you file an amendment which takes UP TO 14 months to process. So get all your documents together before you file to ensure you are getting the maximum refund due to you.
2024 was the first year Platinum Tax Pros Inc. offered referral fees for NEW clients, and I would like to continue this program. Any NEW client that is referred to my office that has a tax return submitted, ACCEPTED & FUNDED by the IRS, will receive a payout of $50. I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ISSUE THESE FUNDS VIA CASH APP; ONLY DEBIT CARDS WILL BE USED TO PAY REFERRAL FEES!! Please also note that I have made a small adjustment to the qualifications in that the tax preparation fee charged, must be no less than $150 for your to receive the referral fee.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND TRUST IN MY ABILITIES YEAR AFTER YEAR. Should you need me prior to January; as always I can be reached at 314-594-4498 or email and I look forward to seeing you in the new year! HAPPY THANKSGIVING & HAPPY HOLIDAY & HAPPY NEW YEAR

Attention Business Owners! 🚨
Starting January 1, 2024, many companies, including LLCs and Corporations, are required to file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Report with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), part of the U.S. Department of Treasury.

🔑 What You Need to Know:
• Businesses created or registered before January 1, 2024: Deadline to file is January 1, 2025.
• Businesses registered between January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025: You have 90 days to file.

💼 Who Must File?
If you have an LLC, Corporation, or other applicable entity, you are required to file.
💡 No income or inactivity is NOT an exemption—you still need to file!

🚨 Penalties for Non-Compliance:
Failure to file can result in:
• $500 per day in penalties.
• Up to 2 years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.
