TAXES AND COVID-19
This is where we've posted the latest CREDIBLE information, helpful links, and answers to your FAQs.
WE'RE HERE FOR YOU
It's the same story for us in 2021 as it was in 2020... We are, and have been, working hard on not only client tax returns, but other things our clients have encountered (PPP loans, Economic Impact Payments, tax payment deadlines, and more) thanks to the unprecedented situation we're still experiencing because of COVID-19.
With information changing all the time, it's taking us time to not only sort through it all, but actually do our jobs. Thanks for your patience and understanding as we navigate another tough year. We do our best to put credible information on our site to answer your questions 24/7.
