I send out invites to all clients who e-file their current year tax returns (2025) with my office by 10/15. I also invite anyone who sent me a referral who became a client this year. If you haven’t received your invitation by 10/20, let me know!

It’s a peaceful extension tax season this year. I have no remaining Quickbooks clients or business clients with payroll (other than S-Corp SE payroll) left in my accounting practice.

This is actually ideal. I can focus on complex 1040 projects, real estate investors, self-employed professionals, trusts, estates, elderly and disabled clients, and household financial management. I’m revamping my website soon to update these changes.

I’m no longer accepting business clients in my office. I don’t prepare payroll or do bookkeeping. The Oregon Society of CPAs has an excellent searchable database for those looking for those services. (I’m not a member of that organization as I’m licensed in WA)

If you’re seeking a CPA who is proactive and responsive, I’m accepting new clients after 10/15 for the 2027 filing season.

Red Alder Life Transitions grew out of my own personal experience.

After my parents passed away, I was left managing years of belongings, financial records, and estate-related paperwork. Although my parents were organized people, they had accumulated a great deal over the years, and some important financial documents were stolen after their deaths.

That experience taught me how important it is to organize, consolidate, preserve, and appropriately share information before a crisis occurs. Good planning can help protect both the person whose affairs are being managed and the family members or beneficiaries who may eventually need that information.

Through Red Alder, I help clients organize financial and estate documents, create understandable records for intended beneficiaries, archive important information, and coordinate the practical details that can otherwise become overwhelming.

I also work with people who are aging in place, downsizing, or struggling with clutter and household organization, including more complex hoarding situations. The goal is not judgment or simply “getting rid of things.” It is creating a safer, more manageable environment while respecting the client’s preferences, possessions, and autonomy.

Services and pricing are tailored to each client’s circumstances and ongoing needs.

I founded a new LLC a couple of months ago to begin the shift towards providing additional assistance to my older long term tax clients.

Financial organization and basis tracking of assets is an issue I’ve dealt with frequently during my career. Pre-planning in this area is critical to preserve accumulated wealth.

(I’m still providing tax preparation and tax planning services under my original company, Clarity Tax Service)

The October 15 tax deadline is approaching!

For most taxpayers who extended their 2025 individual income tax returns, the filing deadline is October 15, 2026.

Please remember that an extension gave you additional time to file—not additional time to pay. If you expect to owe taxes, interest and possible penalties may already be accruing.

If Clarity Tax Service is preparing your extended return, please send any remaining documents and respond to outstanding questions as soon as possible.

Still need professional assistance? Contact us promptly. Availability is limited, and work begins after we receive a signed engagement letter, the required deposit, and complete records.

July is almost here!

I’m working intermittently during the summer months and only accepting new projects with a higher deposit (5K) until August. Once extension season starts in August, my deposit for new clients drops back down to 1-2K.

Clarity Tax Service, Inc. is owned by a licensed CPA and carries an insurance policy that covers any agency notices or audits on each e-filed tax return. Inquire for details.

Happy Summer! 🌞

The bottom 99% of us need accountants, tax planning, and estate planning too. Summer is a good time to shop for a new professional if you aren’t being taken care of and listened to where you are.

You should be on a first name basis with your professional team.
