March 2025 Newsletter
Reminder!
Please forward all information for the preparation of your 2024 income tax return(s). We have already provided the 2024 Tax Organizers to assist you with this. The tax deadline is April 15, 2025 this year. While we can file for an extension of time for filing the tax return until October 15, 2025, all taxes must be paid by the April 15th deadline. Therefore, we will need as much information as possible before this time to make a good faith effort in determining your tax liability (if any). In addition, if you are required to make estimated tax payments, your first tax payment for 2025 will be due on April 15, 2025.
