Economic Impact Payments (aka Stimulus Checks)

Did you miss out on last year's Economic Impact Payment, or EIP? You may be qualified to claim this stimulus checks on your 2021 tax return! Here are some common reasons taxpayers did not receive the stimulus payments:

• Did not file taxes in 2019, 2020, or both years,
• Reported income in prior years was higher than the maximum threshold, or
• Reported income in prior years caused "phase-out" and reduced stimulus payment.

If you believe you did not receive your latest EIP, call (863) 965-1161 to schedule an appointment for your tax filing!

Our "New Normal" Office Policies

As we all have had to adapt to new circumstances, we have made some changes to our normal business operation to keep our clients, staff, and loved ones safer.

In addition to requiring masks for all in-person visits, we are encouraging clients to utilize our new secure drop box to drop off their tax documents. Please seal them and write your name and phone number on the outside of the envelope. Clients can also mail in their documents to our office if they are out of town or want to stay home.

If you have an appointment, please call from outside so that we can check you in and ensure your tax professional is ready. We clean all client-facing surfaces in between visits, so we appreciate your patience as we maintain a safe environment for everyone.
