In the Black: February 2025

It Begins!!!

Tax season is officially upon us, so I’ll keep it short and sweet. By now you likely know that I’m a reverse procrastinator - I want to get everything done as EARLY as possible.

That’s because:

  1. If the last few years have taught me anything, it’s that you never know what’s coming next so it’s best to be ready early!

  2. If you have your own business or an otherwise complicated tax situation, you likely owe taxes. SO better to know early what that amount is and what can be done about it, than a stressful last-minute scramble.

That being said, you should have most of your forms by now, I’d ask that you upload them to the portal this week so we can get started. Can’t find the link? Email us.

Friends in LA: a tax extension

Our hearts go out to all those in LA dealing with the aftermath of the fires.

A small solace: the IRS has extended the tax deadline for LA county to Oct 15, 2025 for filing and payment.
