1. New online tool helps clients resolve tax debt

https://www.irs.gov/payments/get-help-with-tax-debt

The IRS announced a new online tool to help clients understand and resolve tax debt.

The Tax Debt Help tool provides individuals and businesses with a simple way to explore payment options and identify next steps based on their situation. It walks users through a series of straightforward questions about their financial situation and tax debt. Based on responses, the tool will guide users to potential payment and resolution options available through the IRS.

The tool does not require specialized knowledge. It can be used at any time. To protect client privacy, the tool does not require users to enter personally identifiable information.

2. Actions clients should take if they missed April filing and payment deadline

https://www.irs.gov/payments/penalty-relief

Clients who missed the April 15 filing deadline should submit their federal tax return as soon as possible. If they owe taxes, filing now will help avoid additional penalties and interest.

Requesting an extension allows for additional time to file but not to pay taxes owed. Interest and penalties will continue to accrue on the owed taxes until the balance is paid in full.

If a client can't afford to pay the full amount of taxes owed, they should still file a tax return and pay as much as possible.

Clients may qualify for penalty relief if they have filed and paid timely for the past three years and meet other important requirements. For more information, see the administrative penalty relief page on IRS.gov.

If the IRS owes the client a refund, there's no penalty for filing after April 15. Taxpayers who choose not to file a tax return because they don't earn enough to meet the filing requirement may miss out on receiving a refund due to potential refundable tax credits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit.

You may qualify for penalty relief if you made an effort to meet your tax obligations but were unable due to circumstances beyond your control.

Tax Day has come and gone, after 327 taxes e-filed, 2 amendments, I’m finished with this season. Overall, it was a good tax season for most, the best I’ve seen in awhile.

Thanks to all my customers that trusted me to do their taxes. Now, to those 22 extensioners…….well, we won’t talk about them right now, you know who you are!

People, get ready, tax deadline is about to happen…April 15th is approaching fast!!!

03/21/2026

People are receiving letters from the LODR (La. Office of Debt Recovery) where their state refunds are being hijacked if they have any state debt obligations….who knew….!!!

I have checked into it and it seems legit, except you need to verify that your debt is actually legit. If you receive one of these letters, go to https://laodtylerportico.com/payments/billsearch/
And enter your last name, last 4 of your social and your date of birth and it will show you any outstanding debts that you have.

DO NOT PAY IT ON THE WEBSITE, this is why your state refunds has been taken, to pay the debt. You should receive what is left over from paying the debt.

If you feel you do not owe this debt, then you have to dispute it in writing.

If children are 10 and under they may be eligible for a $250 deposit. IRS Tax form 4547 has to be filed. I can file with your taxes for children 10 and under.

Path Act 2026 Tax Refund Dates
In 2026, the PATH Act requires the IRS to hold refunds for returns claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) until at least February 15, with most refunds expected by March 2–6, 2026. Tax season opens January 26, 2026, but early filers with these credits will face these mandatory delays.

Key 2026 PATH Act Details
Hold Period: The IRS cannot issue EITC/ACTC refunds before Feb. 15, 2026. Expected Refund Dates: Most taxpayers claiming EITC/ACTC who use direct deposit should receive their refunds around March 2–6, 2026.

Tracking: The "Where's My Refund" tool is expected to update with projected deposit dates for affected taxpayers by Feb. 21, 2026. Impacted Credits: The law applies to returns claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC).

Note: The PATH Act (Protecting Americans Against Tax Hikes) is a permanent law intended to reduce fraud by allowing the IRS extra time to verify tax returns.

Things clients are having to bring or send.

1.If you have overtime that is not in Box 14 on your W-2. I will need the last check stub of the year that has year to date information on it.

2. If you have a child 10 and under and want a Trump Account opened for that child, I will need your email address.

3. If you purchased a NEW car/truck in 2025 that was assembled in US, you can discount the interest paid on those notes, but I need something showing this, maybe a credit union, car loan statement or bank statement showing the amount of interest paid on the car loan. Many times you can download this from your loan account.

4. If you or spouse or a dependent is in college, I will need the 1098-T that you can download from your college account. If you have been in school less than four years, any additional expenses you have paid out of pocket, i.e., books, internet, computer, iPad, etc., can be added — but they can’t have been paid for out of your college fund thru the bookstore, you have to have paid out of pocket, like on eBay or amazon for books, etc.

5. If you child is working and still in school….DO NOT LET THEM FILE ALONE, as this will totally take their dependency away from you and they probably won’t make enough to file except to get their $$ paid in back. I do not charge for first time filers under 18.

6. If you purchased energy efficient heat pump, air conditioner, windows, doors and have the paperwork, I will need this as well.

7. FINALLY, sorry so long but it will save us time…if you have a question about whether or not you need forms….drop me a text and at my earliest convenience I will answer you back or call.

LET’S GET YOU THE LARGEST TAX REFUND POSSIBLE!
