FYI:

The first week of tax season is always like the first day out because we never know what's going to happen.

Systems glitch, forms are no where to be found, clients lined up ready to file, clients missing documents, systems running slow, systems crash.

This is everything that we deal with the first week of tax season and sometimes throughout the entire filing season as laws change and systems have to be updated.

WE just ask for your patience as everything gets worked out as there may be times when you can get an immediate response and then times where it may take 24 hours. We thank you in advance!

Yes we are open and accepting new clients this tax season.

Today starts the official start date the IRS start accepting returns.

Please don’t be alarmed when your refund is less than what you normally receive. Especially if you have taken the Advance Child Tax Credit between July-December 2021. Remember you received half of the credit already.

2021 is not the year to do your own taxes! Don’t miss out on credits and deductions that you qualify for. Classie Lady Financial Services, LLC is here to help.

For those that are Brand Ambassadors, did you know you qualify for certain tax deductions? For more information feel free to contact me. Looking forward to speaking with you.

Proud to announce that I am apart of the Annual Filing Season Program with the IRS. Just know I am confident in my ability to assist many from individuals, small businesses and Self-employed. Next stop to file my documents to officially become an Enrolled Agent. It’s been a rough year but we got this! Thank you to all of my clients for 2021 for working with me to get your taxes prepared and allowing me to complete bookkeeping for your business. Looking forward to servicing you all in 2022.

Guess what time is approaching fast???? You got it Taxes, Taxes, Taxes and more TAXES!

Be on the lookout for 2 forms from the IRS next month. One is form 6475 this will have the actual amount of stimulus payments you received in 2021. We will need this to double check that you got the amount you qualified for.

The second one is form 6419 and it’s going to tell you what you received in child tax credit from July-Dec 2021. Please keep them for your records and be able to provide to me upon filing. You definitely don’t want to have your funds delayed for months.

Filing season is quickly. Just a reminder stating January 2022, the IRS will send letter 6419 to provide the total amount of advance Child Tax Credit payments that were disbursed to you during 2021. Please keep this letter regarding your advance Child Tax Credit payments with your tax records.

Be sure to have that letter readily available to ensure you claim the correct amount. As you wouldn’t like your return delayed because of the incorrect amount inputted on your return.

If you have any questions and/or concerns, feel free to contact me.
