OUR RESPONSE

The coronavirus has taken over the news cycle in a way that not many other things have in recent years. We want to update you on how our business is responding and how that may impact your tax return. We believe if we can keep our business up and running, this will be our part to keep our economy chugging along during these uncertain times. We believe in family values. If any of our employees need to attend to their families, this is our highest priority.


Here is our current status update:

  • We are all healthy and working

  • We are operating as “normal”. “Normal” means business as usual, but a little slower. This must be what extensions are made for.

  • We have updated our technology to complete your tax return and practice “social distancing”.

  • We have limited all in-person appointments. We are available via phone and in the near future video conferencing.

Personal Client Portals:

  • Hints for uploading documents:

    • It is not necessary to scan documents separately, in fact, it is more efficient for us to have one big PDF file.

    • If you obtain PDF tax documents from banks, brokerage firms. You can save them electronically to your client portal without having to print and re-scan.

We wish you and your family peace during this surreal time.
