Welcome to the Senter, CPA Team – Rosemary Shamoon

For self-employed individuals, freelancers, business owners, and investors, quarterly estimated tax payments are an important part of staying compliant with IRS requirements. Missing a payment can result in penalties, interest charges, and unnecessary stress. Fortunately, TaxDome makes it easier than ever to stay organized with automated reminders and client communication tools.

We know—writing a check to the IRS and State is probably not on your summer bucket list.

If you’re a freelancer, gig worker, or small business owner who gets paid through platforms like PayPal, Venmo, Etsy, or Uber, there are important tax changes you need to be aware of.

When you think “summer,” taxes probably don’t make the list – and honestly, we get it. You should be thinking about vacations, BBQs, and soaking up the sunshine.

Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for supporting our team. Thank you for your patience, your feedback, your referrals, and your grace during one of the busiest times of the year.

You did it. You gathered the documents, answered the questions, signed where needed, and got your tax return filed. If we helped prepare it for you, we can confidently say you handled your part like a pro. Now comes the part nobody loves but everyone participates in anyway: waiting for your refund.

If April 15 came and went and you didn’t file your tax return, or submit an extension, you’re definitely not the only one. It happens every year for all kinds of reasons. The important thing now is what you do next.
