There are only 70 more days until your individual taxes are due! It’s time to ask yourself these questions:

This guide is a great start to help you feel more confident this tax season, but I’ve got A LOT more value to add than just this freebie.

I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported Every Penny Bookkeeping this year! Your referrals are the BIGGEST compliment.

If you haven’t filed your tax return by the due date, you may be subject to this penalty. Per the IRS, this penalty is 5% of the unpaid taxes for each month or part of a month that a tax return is late for up to a maximum of 25% of your unpaid taxes.

September means the kids are settling back into school, football season is kicking off, and you’ve got some pretty important tax deadlines coming up! Let’s go over what’s due:

It’s super depressing that summer’s coming to an end (but maybe not so sad that the kids are going back to school!). If you’re anything like me, you’re already looking forward to the extra time to plan your fall marketing campaign. Here are some marketing expenses your business might be able to deduct:

This month’s freebie offers support for all of the DIY bookkeepers out there. While you won’t have to worry about any of this when you work with a professional bookkeeper, it’s imperative that your books are reconciled on a regular basis no matter who’s doing it!

And if your dad is anything like mine was, he was known for puttering around the pool every weekend in the summer, killing any bugs you’re too scared to touch, and teaching invaluable life lessons.

Especially since it includes National Small Business Day (mark your calendars for May 10th!). Our specialty is getting you back to yours, and I want to take a moment to highlight some of the ways I love to do that:

If you aren’t sure whether you’re going to be able to get your return(s) filed in time, you should file for an automatic extension. If you aren’t working with a tax accountant who can file an extension on your behalf, check out IRS Free File to file an extension for free regardless of your income level.

You may be wondering why I’m telling you this… don’t I want you to file a tax return?

Whether you receive a W-2 from an employer or a 1099 to show your income, you should be receiving those documents in the mail soon. But… what if your W-2 never shows up? Here’s what to do:

I hope you enjoyed your time off for the holidays this year because we’re about to dive head-first into tax talk. Was your New Year’s Resolution to be more educated when it comes to taxes? Start with these IRS inflation adjustments:

This time of year can be incredibly stressful between year-end closing (keep reading for a handy checklist) and navigating the holiday season… so I’m going to make sure this email gets straight to the point!

Getting into the spirit of a month that’s all about thankfulness, I want to take a moment to express how grateful I am for each one of you! THANK YOU for your support of my small business.

Can you believe we’re officially starting the fourth quarter of 2023?! Around the office at Evert Penny Books, October brings prepping for the upcoming tax deadlines and the start of planning for year-end.

Summer is slowly coming to an end, and here at Every Penny Bookkeeping we’re gearing up for a new school year! August brings National Financial Awareness Day which aligns perfectly with our mission.
