Individuals: Make a payment of your estimated tax for 2025 if you didn't pay your income tax for the year through withholding (or didn't pay in enough tax that way). Use Form 1040-ES. This is the final installment date for 2025 estimated tax payments. However, you don't have to make this payment if you file your 2025 return (Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR) and pay all tax due by January 31, 2026.
Individuals: File a 2025 Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR and pay any tax due. If you want an automatic 6-month extension of time to file the return, file Form 4868 and pay what you estimate you owe in tax to avoid penal-ties and interest. For more information, see Form 4868. Then, file Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR by October 15. If you’re not paying your 2025 income tax through withholding (or won't pay in enough tax during the year that way), pay the first installment of your 2026 estimated tax. Use Form 1040-ES. For more information, see Pub. 505.
Corporations: File a 2025 calendar year income tax return (Form 1120) and pay any tax due. If you want an automatic 6-month extension of time to file the return, file Form 7004 and deposit what you estimate you owe in taxes. Deposit the first installment of estimated in-come tax for 2025.
Individuals - Make a payment of your 2026 estimated tax if you’re not paying your income tax for the year through withholding (or won't pay in enough tax that way). Use Form 1040-ES. This is the second installment date for estimated tax in 2025. For more information, see Pub. 505.16
Individuals - If you’re a U.S. citizen or resident alien living and working (or on military duty) outside the United States and Puerto Rico, file Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR and pay any tax, interest, and penalties due. Otherwise, see Individuals under April 15, earlier. If you want additional time to file your return, file Form 4868 to obtain 4 additional months to file and pay what you estimate you owe in tax to avoid penalties and interest. Then, file Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR by October 15. However, if you’re a participant in a combat zone, you may be able to further extend the filing deadline. See Pub. 3, Armed Forces' Tax Guide.
Corporations - Deposit the second installment of estimated income tax for 2026.
A CPA firm is a firm that is majority-owned by licensed Certified Public Accountants who
offer tax and accounting services to the public. While preparing tax returns is one of the
services CPA firms provide, it is ancillary to the more intensive tax planning and
accounting services. All of our clients need to file a tax return, and we’re happy to
prepare it for them, but our primary role is that of an accounting and tax advisor.
We bill hourly for the services provided. The amount of time spent on tax and
accounting work varies depending on several factors including the complexity, the
needs of the client, and the availability of necessary information. Our clients are only
billed for actual time spent on their projects. Hourly rates vary depending on the
required expertise to provide accurate results that meet professional standards. We
do not offer flat fee billing because there is just too much variability in the work our
clients need performed. With an hourly billing model, we only get paid for the time we
put into our clients, and our clients only pay for the time it takes to complete their
projects.
We are always open to accepting new clients, but not all clients are the right fit for our
services. As a CPA firm, we do a lot more than prepare tax returns. Clients that
own businesses, need additional tax planning, and have complex accounting needs are
our specialty. We’re always happy to discuss our services with anyone looking for a
CPA firm. Contact Us today to set up a phone call or a meeting.
If you get audited, you don’t have to go through it alone. We can assist you in dealing
with IRS and state examiners, or we can represent you before the IRS if necessary. A
tax audit doesn’t mean that you did anything wrong. Sometimes your situation is just so
unique that the IRS needs you to prove it. Sometimes there’s an error that needs to be
corrected. Whatever the case, we have the experience and the expertise to handle
complex tax matters, and you don’t have to navigate the process on your own.
Technological advances and increasingly complex regulatory requirements have
drastically changed the landscape for payroll services. Large payroll services providers
are able to offer very competitive rates thanks to specialization and economies of scale.
Rather than try to compete with technology and automation, we’d prefer to embrace it
to save ourselves stress and our clients money. We can help you set up payroll
services through the third-party provider of your choice, and we’re always happy to
answer questions.
We always recommend entrepreneurs seek legal assistance first when establishing a
new business. There are regulatory filings that need to occur and documents that
should be written up and signed before you begin offering goods or services to the
public. An attorney can walk you through all of your legal entity options and the types of
legal protection they provide. We can walk you through your tax entity options and the
benefits of each. Once you’ve set up your legal entity and started business, we can
work with you on setting up good accounting systems, a monthly reconciliation and
close process, and establishing internal controls. When we get close to the end of your
tax year, we can perform some taxable income projections to estimate your tax liability
and recommend estimated tax payments. We can also present you with options to
lower your tax liability prior to year-end.
