Round 1 of tax season is almost complete as of April 14th.

I will post a calendar for round two by May 1st, 2026. I need a few days off, please give me those and be patient. I haven’t had a day off since January and most of my days during this time were in excess of 15 hour days. If you sent an extension request or if you are a regular client that I file for every year, I did file an extension for you. If you send me an email requesting a copy of your extension, I can send you a pdf of that filing. I have filed 394 tax returns thus far and I will be submitting over 200 extensions to file on April 15th. The extension gives you until October 15th but, please do not wait until the last minute to book your appointment. You cannot file another extension, but you can file late but will face penalties if you owe taxes.

If you need to ask me a question, please book an appointment time for this. I am going to be working in my garden, kayaking down the river, camping or enjoying time with family and friends on days not in the office. Please do not just call me. You can text me and ask me if I could call but please understand that I do not keep consistent office hours in the summer. I only work by appointment. I do check emails daily unless I am out of town and will set up an auto response when on vacation.

Click this link to see the status of your refund . I have had several that have received letters, please send those to me, every page. I also have a few that have not had their payments pulled for taxes owed, please be patient, they will take it and we did our part already. The AI system is not working like things have in the past. I have heard of refunds coming only 4 days after filing and others taking almost 30 days. I have no control over this, please understand.

Please do not send me your tax documents any earlier than three days before your scheduled appointment. I just do not have the extra space to pull files that I don’t currently need to be working on.

DEPOSITS FOR 2026 TAX FILINGS

Beginning October 1st I will be accepting prepaid deposits to purchase my tax software. I will continue to take them through December 31st for the 15% discount for each prepaid deposit. I use these deposits to stock up on supplies and frankly, to live on in the months without income. Again, every deposit over $50 will get you 15% off of your tax preparation fee. Please note the payment as Deposit for 2025 so that I can mark your file. Venmo Me I can also take paypal, https://paypal.me/ReidaGillespie, Cash App $volqueen or you can contact me to take a credit or debit card over the phone. I can no longer take Zelle and I also cannot accept Apple Pay.
