COVID-19 Update: A look at Senter CPA’s Policies & Procedures for the 2021 Tax Season

by | Dec 12, 2020 | Community, Internal Revenue Service, Tax

To our wonderful Clients, Friends, and Family,

Tax season is upon us! Please take a moment to review the precautions we here at Senter, CPA are taking to ensure a safe and efficient tax season.

To adhere to the social distancing mandate, and to limit the amount of traffic coming in and out of the office, only some of our staff will be working in the office, and the rest will be working remotely. We have embraced the suggested guidelines and are following normal protocol to ensure safety and respect for ALL.

The technology that is available to us has allowed us to continue operating efficiently as we continue to serve and grow throughout this pandemic, all while helping those in need. We are so grateful for each of our clients’ willingness to be flexible and respectful as we all try to do our part to keep our community safe and healthy.

What we ask of you:

  • Unless you have an appointment, please call prior to stopping in the office to ensure that our staff is prepared and that other clients are not in our suite.
  • Please wear a mask when entering the building, not only out of respect for our firm, but also for the other businesses in the building.
  • Please schedule a video or teleconference meeting when applicable. In-person meetings will be accommodated, but when possible, let’s take advantage of the technology that’s available to us.

What you can expect from us:

  • The same great service you are accustomed to. We will be answering phone calls and responding to emails per usual, not skipping a beat.
  • A clean facility – we will be actively sanitizing all high traffic and touched surfaces as individuals enter and exit our suite.

Let’s revisit some of our previous updates:

We cannot wait until we’re able to get together in person, gather in large groups, shake hands, hug (where appropriate) and all those fun things we use to do.

If you have any comments, questions or suggestions please use the ‘Contact Us’ section below or give us a call at 248-934-0550. We’d love to hear from you.

We are continuously grateful for you and for the opportunity to serve you.

Small Business Scams to Watch Out for This Fall

September is a good time for a fresh start.
Summer is winding down, routines are getting back to normal, and businesses are settling into the final stretch of the year.
It is also a good time to remind yourself and your employees to be careful with financial information.

What To Do If You’re Behind on Your Taxes

Falling behind on your taxes can feel overwhelming, but addressing the issue promptly is the best way to minimize additional penalties and interest. Ignoring unpaid taxes rarely makes the problem go away, and the IRS offers several options to help taxpayers resolve their balances. At Senter CPA, we work with individuals and business owners to develop practical solutions and navigate the IRS resolution process with confidence.

If you’ve ever spent hours researching your fantasy football draft only to watch your first-round pick get injured, you’ve experienced something every business owner understands: Even the best plans sometimes get sacked.

Your Guide to IRS Tax Transcripts

Taxpayers have the right to request tax transcripts from the IRS. These may be needed if you do not have a copy of your tax return.

I can think of worse ways to help local kids than spending a Thursday night eating, drinking, bidding on stuff you probably do not need, and hanging out with 350 to 450 of your favorite Clarkston friends.

Planning Ahead: Small Steps That Can Save Big Later

Even in the middle of tax season, it’s not too late to make moves that can save your business money and headaches down the line. Many business owners get caught up in the day-to-day and wait until the very end to think about taxes. The truth is, a few small steps now can make a big difference later.

Keep Your Receipts Nearby and Organized

Business owners understand that receipts are everywhere and also can seemingly end up nowhere to be found.

Are Unused Subscriptions Costing You Money?

As household expenses continue to rise, identifying unnecessary recurring charges is a practical way to improve cash flow without making significant lifestyle changes. Many consumers unknowingly pay for subscriptions they no longer use, forgot to cancel after a free trial, or no longer find valuable. While individual charges may seem insignificant, the combined annual cost can amount to hundreds of dollars.

Your Year-End Tax Bill Shouldn’t Be a Surprise

December has a way of making tax planning feel urgent—but by December, you’re already behind the strategy and some of the best planning opportunities could have already passed you.

It’s like spring cleaning, but now we’re working on it in between Back to School and Football and Pumpkins and Mostly Great Weather!
