COVID-19 Update
Due to the Coronavirus situation, and in an effort to keep everyone healthy and safe, we are limiting our direct contact with the public until further notice. Below, please find pertinent information relating to our firm's plan of action to ensure that we are proactive in the prevention of illness.
Safe and Secure Handling of Documentation
We highly encourage our clients that have not submitted their tax information to utilize our secure online portal system. It is the most effective and safe way to send and receive tax information. Now that the State of Connecticut has ordered all non-essential workers to stay home, access to hand-delivered or mailed tax information will be limited. We have established safe drop off and delivery areas at our office for your use. Please call our office for more information.
IRS Tax Filing Deadlines Have Changed
The IRS announced that the tax filing deadline for individuals and businesses who normally file returns by April 15, 2020 has been moved to July 15, 2020, including an extension to pay any balances due on the returns until July 15, 2020, without penalty or interest. The state of Connecticut has indicated that they will follow the same deadlines as the federal government. Other states may make similar adjustments.
