Afternoon.

June 15 Tax Estimates coming due.

IRS Voucher system with check. Reminder, use your SSN for the "taxpayer" on the form 1040, not the spouse's SSN.

Make sure you follow voucher instructions specifically.

When you have a business, only C Corps and (some) Estates/Trusts use EIN for tax payments. S Corps, Partnerships, and Multimember LLC are "passthrough" entities which use SSN of taxpayer on form 1040.

STATE voucher systems and or quarterly payments use EIN for business and SSN for individual tax payments dependent on state regulation and law in that state. The goal is to make sure payments are paid to the correct accounts.

Save your confirmations and or check cashed pics for your records.

Let your Tax Expert know you have made payments.

Hope this is a helpful reminder.

Clients receive these reminders in AF COM ACCOUNTING monthly newsletter.

Emails are Not Secure

Hello clients, potential clients, friends, family, colleagues. This is a notice that sending personal information via email is not secure.

Doing this does two things:
1) If my firm received this type of email, security immediately separates it and, in some cases, deletes it before even being open.
2) Emails are for contact and setting up a secure portal with the firm in order to double that protection of your information. Emails are hacker specialties from phishing, cookie inserts, to data worms. Our security may register innocent emails with links or attachments as threats.

It is important for engagements with the firm to know information can be lost or stolen if sent unsecured. AF COM ACCOUNTING has encrypted portals for our clients to communicate efficiently and securely after initial contact.

If you are trying to engage the firm for tax planning, preparation, or representation, please use email for the initial contact to set up an appointment and a secured online portal. Please do not send personal information via email.

AF COM ACCOUNTING wants you all safe and secure.
We look forward to serving your tax needs as securely as possible.
Have an amazing day.
