Mastering the TaxDome Client Portal: From Senter, CPA, P.C. Team

Now that you’re all set up with your TaxDome portal (woohoo!), let’s talk about what happens next.

Think of TaxDome as your digital hub for all things tax – secure, simple, and always open. Whether you’re uploading your W-2 or checking in on your return, here’s how to make the most of it:

 

Uploading Documents

Step 1: Log in to your portal

Step 2: Head to the Client Uploads folder

Step 3: Drag, drop, done

Pro-Tip: If you’re using the app, use the built-in scanner. It cleans up photos and turns them into PDFs automatically!

Completing Your Organizer

If we’ve sent you an organizer, it’s tailored to you. Just answer what applies, skip what doesn’t and your answers will save as you go.

Reminder: You can log out and come back to it later. There’s no need to finish it all at once.

Messaging the Team

No need to dig through old emails. If you’ve got a question, send us a secure message through the portal.

Bonus: It keeps all communication in one place. Super helpful if you need to reference something later!

Messaging the Team

 

 Completing Client Requests

Sometimes we’ll send you a quick task like “Upload your updated license” or “Review a document.” You’ll see these as Client Requests on your dashboard.

Tip:  Be sure to mark the task as “Done” once you’ve completed it, so we know you’re all set!

 

A Few Extra Tips

  • Bookmark sentercpapc.taxdome.com
  • Turn on push/email notifications so you never miss a message
  • Use clear file names when uploading {e.g., “2024-W-2-JSmith.pdf”)
  • Use the app if you’re often on the go. It’s faster than you think!

 

We know learning a new system takes a minute, but once you’re in the groove, it’s a game-changer. And don’t worry – we’re always here to help if you get stuck.

 

Happy uploading, organizing, and messaging!

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.

Fall Accounting

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!

Trump Accounts: What Parents—Especially Michigan Families—Need to Know

Trump Accounts are a new type of savings vehicle designed to help families build long-term financial resources for children. Structured as a special type of traditional IRA, these accounts have specific rules governing eligibility, contributions, investments, and withdrawals.

Senter Forward: The Kind of Client Relationship We Want to Build

I will start with something that may sound strange coming from a CPA firm: we are not trying to take every piece of work that walks through the door.
We have reached a point where the question is less “Can we prepare this return?” and more “Can we build a relationship here where our team can actually help?” That difference matters.

Federal Updates on Tip And Overtime Tax Deductions

Recent federal tax legislation introduced new deductions related to qualified tip income and overtime pay. These changes may benefit eligible employees while also creating additional reporting responsibilities for employers. At Senter CPA, we are helping both businesses and individual taxpayers understand how these rules apply and how to stay compliant.

1099 Filing Requirements Update! Yes, this is good news!

The reporting amount threshold has increased. Yes, you read that right! The old $600 filing requirement for 1099-MISC & 1099-NECs has been increased to $2,000, with some minor exceptions.

To jog your memory, if you need it, you are required to file 1099s to those who you pay for rent, contract labor (not through your payroll), interest, etc. The 1099-MISC is most commonly used to report rent, while the 1099-NEC is mostly used to report non-employee compensation to most everyone.

Mid-Year Financial Checkup Checklist: Are You on Track for 2026?

Summer is a good time to check in on your finances. The year is already halfway over, which makes it easier to see what’s working and what might need attention. Maybe your income has changed. Maybe you’ve spent more than expected or fallen behind on a savings goal.

Understanding Quarterly Estimated Tax Payments

If you’re self-employed, a freelancer, or a small business owner, quarterly estimated tax payments are an important part of staying current with your federal tax obligations. Because taxes typically aren’t withheld from self-employment income, the IRS requires many taxpayers to pay taxes throughout the year instead of waiting until they file their annual return. Making timely estimated payments can help avoid a large tax bill and potential underpayment penalties.

Why I Visit Our Accounting Clients

Every couple of years, I spend part of my summer leaving the office.

That probably sounds strange coming from a CPA.

Have You Moved Recently? Make Sure the IRS Has Your New Address

Moving into a new home is an exciting milestone, but one important task is often overlooked: updating your address with the IRS.
