News and Updates

Power of Attorney Form 2848 For All Clients

News and Updates

As we're sure you're aware, the past year and a half living under a global pandemic has been unbelievably challenging for everyone. It has been exceptionally difficult for us as preparers navigating complex new tax laws and provisions, incorporated in the middle of tax season no less.

News and Updates

Matt and Ryan made the decision last summer that we'd like to have all clients provide us with a signed Power of Attorney Form 2848.  We saw the writing on the wall and knew this upcoming tax season was going to provide a whole host of challenges and to make life easier on our clients and our staff, it made sense for us to have all possible resources we need to complete your return available to us during tax time.

IRS Expects Complications This Season

News and Updates

The IRS officially opened up the 2021 tax filing season on January 24, 2022 but has already made statements to congress, and the public, that they expect this season to be just as complicated and aggravating as the last two years.  Just what we all wanted to hear, right?
