Our Taxing Times

Are you waiting for a Direct Deposit

The IRS just released a notice that 16,000 direct deposit refunds were issued as paper checks by mistake. If you were expecting a direct deposit of your federal refund, please don't spend the money until the bank tells you it is there. The notice does not mention which deposit date(s) was involved. They are issuing a letter of explanation but not until Feb. 3rd.

Online Filing

McIntire Income Tax Center's On-line filing is open for the tax season. The cost is $9.95 for a 1040EZ form and $14.95 for the 1040A and 1040. Your state can also be done at the same time for an additional $4.95. The site is secure and credit and debit cards can be used for payment. The refund loan options are also available for an additional charge.
The site is simple to use and you do not have to finish the return all at once. Please check the online filing page on out web site. 

Exemptions

If you have been claiming an exemption for a dependent because of divoice decree, you might have to have a new document signed. Here is the deal, Mom and Dad divoice and the child lives with Mom. Dad, however, is entitled to claim the child as a dependent on their tax return. To document this, Dad uses a copy of either the divoice decree or Form 8332. As part of the Gulf Opportunity Zone Act, this has changed and the form 8332 has to be used. This allows Mom to sign the dependent exemption to Dad either for that year or for a specified number of years.

Starting January 16th, we will open during the week from 9am to 6pm and on Saturday from 9am to 4pm. Of course, we will be happy to make appointments for you at your convenience at times outside of these hours.
