🚨 LAST CALL 🚨

If you haven’t filed your tax return OR an extension yet, time is running out—FAST.

Here’s what most people don’t realize:
Certain tax elections (especially for business owners—even Schedule C or Schedule E) are ONLY allowed on a timely filed return, including extensions.

❗ Miss the deadline = permanently lose valuable tax benefits.

This is NOT something you can fix later.

⏰ We are OPEN tomorrow with some available spots left for LAST-MINUTE EXTENSIONS. See our calendly link pinned at the top of our page to schedule an appointment.
🌎We are also set up to work with you virtually as well.

💳 Payment is required at the time of extension.

📩 Bring last year’s return and all of your current year documents along with your photo ID and bank account routing and account number.

‼️Don’t risk it. This is your final window to protect your tax position for tax year 2025.‼️

🏠 Sold a house? Don’t guess on the tax impact.

The sale of real property can carry important tax implications — even when the home was your primary residence.

Qualification for the home sale exclusion is not automatic, and reporting requirements vary based on individual circumstances. Improper treatment can result in unexpected tax liability or IRS notices.

DIY software may not always address the nuances involved in real estate transactions.

Before filing, consider the value of a professional to ensure the transaction is reported accurately.

📅 Contact our office to schedule your appointment.

Business owner or side hustle? 👋

This message is for you 🙂

Your business structure alone can cost or save you thousands in taxes, and following generic online advice can lead to compliance issues, missed deductions, or unnecessary tax liability. Your business structure isn’t a trend — it’s a strategy. When it comes to something as important as your business, choosing a tax professional over social media advice can make all the difference.

If you’re unsure whether your business is set up optimally for tax purposes, or if your current structure still makes sense, come see us or schedule a virtual meeting. We’d be happy to guide you through this important step in your business journey.

“No Tax on Overtime” — Proceed with Caution

The headlines are saying “no tax on overtime,” but this area of tax law is highly complex. The IRS has released 30 pages of guidance regarding the tips and overtime deduction.

Although they IRS has stated that no penalties will apply if a taxpayer reasonably and in good faith relies on the IRS FAQs do not mistake this as a pass if you get it wrong. This guidance applies to penalties only. Any tax and interest owed would still be due.

With rules this detailed and evolving, are you confident you can calculate this correctly on your own?

📌 At Dean’s List Tax Service, we are prepared to offer you professional tax preparation backed by our audit and notice protection. We look forward to working with you!
