Avoid the rush aka You can stop freaking out!














Now if you are reading this blog you probably fall into 2 categories. People panicked about getting their taxes done, or your CPA who is panicked about you panicked about getting your taxes done.

To both groups I say this… Take a breath.

You are going to figure this out. Yes, taxes can be complicated, but that doesn’t mean you have to have a minor cardiac event thinking about them.

I know you can feel it in your marrow, April 15th looming ahead.

But instead of sticking your head in the sand (besides avoiding that hot kind of mess), let’s figure out what you can do to get those taxes DONE and over with (then you can go into denial for another year).

And do you know who your best friend in this time of crisis is?

Your CPA (they may need oxygen of course to get through it themselves, but that’s another blog).

No matter where you are in the process of organizing your files, call and make your appointment.

Yes, in a perfect world do all CPA dream a little dream of our clients coming in with collated receipts and perfect documents? Of course we do.

But beyond that, we want to help you not only pay the correct (which isn’t always least, however that’s another blog) amount of taxes, but also give you peace of mind.

So no matter if you’ve got a shoe-box filled with a jumble of ketchup-stained receipts and torn W-2’s, make your appointment.

It may feel overwhelming, but imagine how much better you will feel once it is over with.

And then you can make sure to be organized for next year!

Yah, yah, yah, I know that’s another dreaming the impossible dream (and another blog as well!) moment.

Call your CPA
Find W-2s
Gather Receipts (and your wits)

You’ll thank me in the morning :-)
