Well, here we are. The personal filing deadline (April 18th) is *so* close.
Yes, it’s officially the final week of tax season — and we are working our tails off for our clients!
There’s a lot of “business” in this note, so please make sure you read it all — it could make a huge difference.

But come on — haven’t we all uttered that magical phrase, capable of assuaging all our fears, and brilliantly putting off tomorrow what could have been put off today?

This year (2016) the tax deadline happens to be April 18th, instead of April 15th, due to special a holiday in Washington, DC (“Emancipation Day”).
