This happens a lot! Let us know if you ever have any questions!

If you get a call from the demanding immediate payment via gift card or prepaid debit card, it’s NOT us. It’s a scam! Stay alert: www.irs.gov/scams

🚨 TAX DEADLINE REMINDER! 🚨

⏰ TOMORROW, OCTOBER 15, 2026, IS THE FINAL FILING DEADLINE!

If you filed an extension back on April 15, that gave you an additional SIX MONTHS to file your 2025 individual income tax return.

Well, those six months are officially up TOMORROW!

⚠️ Remember, an extension gives you additional time to FILE, not additional time to PAY your taxes.

If you haven't filed your return yet, now is the time to take action! Don't risk unnecessary late-filing penalties.

At Hunt & Associates, LLC, we're working hard to get those last-minute returns across the finish line!

📌 October 15, 2026 — Don't miss it!

We’re growing and so is our name! 💙

We are excited to announce that Hunt & Associate, LLC is now Hunt & Associates, LLC!

This small change to our name represents something much bigger. It is the continued growth of our firm, our team, and the clients we are blessed to serve.

When Hunt & Associate began, I could never have imagined all that God had in store for us. Over the years, we have grown from a small accounting practice into a team of people who share the same commitment to providing our clients with knowledgeable, dependable, and personal service.

While our name is changing, who we are is not. You’ll still see the same familiar faces and receive the same personal attention and care you’ve come to expect from us.

We are incredibly grateful to our clients, friends, family, and community who have trusted and supported us along the way. We truly would not be growing without you.

Same firm. Same commitment. Growing team. New name.

Welcome to Hunt & Associates, LLC! 💙

📢Important BOI Reporting Update!

Good news for business owners! 🎉

The federal Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting requirement has been eliminated for U.S. companies and U.S. persons. This means most domestic businesses are no longer required to file a BOI report with FinCEN.

If you previously filed, there is no additional BOI filing required under the current rules.

As always, Hunt & Associate will continue to keep our clients updated as tax and business requirements change!

Treasury said a final rule will permanently end beneficial ownership information reporting requirements for U.S. companies and U.S. persons under the Corporate Transparency Act.

Our hearts are heavy this morning as we learn of the shooting at Westwood Elementary School.

There are simply no words for something like this, especially when it involves a place where children should always feel safe.

We are praying for the students, their families, the teachers and staff, first responders, and everyone in our community affected by today’s events. We pray for protection, comfort, healing, and strength in the difficult hours and days ahead.

May God hold this community especially close today. ❤️🙏

📢 VIRGINIA BUSINESS OWNERS — IMPORTANT RETIREPATH REQUIREMENT

If you own a business in Virginia and do not currently offer your employees a retirement plan, this is something you need to know!

RetirePath Virginia is a state-facilitated retirement savings program designed to give employees access to retirement savings through payroll deductions.

✅ Who is required to register?

Virginia employers are generally required to register for RetirePath if they:

• Have 5 or more eligible employees
• Have been in business for at least 2 years
• Do not currently offer a qualified retirement plan, such as a 401(k), 403(b), SIMPLE IRA, SEP IRA, or certain other qualifying plans

📅 2026 Registration Deadlines

Employers with 10–24 employees: September 30, 2026

Employers with 5–9 employees or 25+ employees: October 30, 2026

Businesses that were required to register during an earlier phase and have not done so should address the requirement as soon as possible.

💰 Does the employer have to contribute?

No! There is no cost to the employer to participate, and employers do not make contributions or matches. Employee contributions are made through payroll deductions.

Employees are not required to participate and may choose to opt out.

⚠️ Don't ignore a RetirePath notice!

Employers that are required to participate and fail to comply may be subject to an annual penalty of up to $200 per eligible employee.

If your business already offers a qualifying retirement plan, you generally do not have to participate in RetirePath, but you may still need to certify your exemption.

📩 If you are a payroll client of Hunt & Associate, LLC and have received a RetirePath letter or email, please forward it to our office. We can help determine whether your business is required to register and assist with the registration and payroll setup.

We know business owners have enough to keep up with! Our goal is to help keep our clients informed and compliant as new Virginia requirements take effect.
