Dear Valued Clients,

Happy New Year and Welcome to Tax Season 2021!

After a truly unprecedented and unforgettable year, the 2021 tax season is here and we are looking forward to seeing and working with our clients with a renewed spirit. We will be happy to announce that we will holding face to face appointments again this year. Rene and I both want to make sure all our clients know that we are available and accessible to answer questions and offer guidance, the distance last year was difficult for all of us. We will continue to encourage clients to drop off, mail in, or email documents to us, however if you need a in-person appointment, please call to schedule. In 2021 our government issued the 3rd Stimulus check, Advanced Child Tax Credit Payments (6), and California sent out Golden State Stimulus I & II. It is now ours and your responsibility to account for the actual payments received by you and reconcile them to your income tax return. Please be diligent in keeping the notices sent to you: Form 6419 Advance Child Tax Credit, Form 6475 3rd Federal Stimulus, and California has left it up to the taxpayer to account for the Golden State Stimulus payments. The IRS has already stated that if there is a discrepancy with the payments, it will delay the processing and your potential refund. If you had any issues with what you received versus what they have reported, please let us know so we can discuss and adjust as necessary. The filing deadline is April 18th, 2022, we do not anticipate any additional extension to file. All our clients who bring in documents after April 1st ,2022 will be getting an automatic extension to file. An extension of time to file is not an extension to pay your taxes, all taxes are due April 18th, 2022. Please contact our office if you need help sending in any payments.

Thank you for your loyalty and we look forward to serving you,

-Rene Coburn, EA & Jessica Morano-Coburn, CTEC
