Before You Pay, Verify.

The IRS continues to expand online access to tax information for individuals and eligible business owners, making it easier to review balances, payments, tax records, transcripts, and certain notices.

That access can also help you verify information before taking action.

The IRS warns that scammers may impersonate the agency through emails, text messages, phone calls, and even fraudulent letters. If a communication is unexpected, pressures you to act quickly, requests sensitive information, or demands immediate payment, take time to verify it first.

Before responding or sending payment:

✅ Review the communication carefully.
✅ Check your IRS Individual or Business Tax Account when applicable.
✅ Never share your online account credentials.
✅ If something doesn’t look right, verify before sending money or personal information.

Stay informed. Verify first. Act with confidence.

If you’re self-employed, own a small business, or receive income that doesn’t have taxes withheld from it, you may need to make estimated tax payments throughout the year.

Generally, individuals—including sole proprietors, partners, and S-corporation shareholders—may need to make estimated payments if they expect to owe $1,000 or more in tax when they file their return.

Why?
Because federal income taxes are generally pay-as-you-go. If taxes aren’t being withheld from your income, estimated payments are one way to pay throughout the year rather than potentially facing a large tax bill when you file.

And here’s the part many business owners don’t realize:
Estimated taxes aren’t just about income tax, they can also include self-employment tax and other taxes that may apply to your situation.

📌 Who might need to make estimated payments?
• Freelancers & independent contractors
• Sole proprietors
• Partners in a partnership
• S-corporation shareholders
• People with significant income that doesn’t have enough tax withholding

There are exceptions and additional rules, so the $1,000 number isn’t the only thing that determines whether you need to pay.

💡 The takeaway: Don’t wait until tax season to find out whether you should have been making payments.

If you’re self-employed or your income has changed significantly this year, now is a good time to review your numbers and make sure you’re on track.

Can you believe we’re already wrapping up another month?!
Before you jump into the weekend, take a few minutes to reflect on July.

💭 Ask yourself:
✔️ What went well this month?
✔️ What financial habit am I proud of?
✔️ What could I improve in August?
✔️ What’s one goal I want to accomplish before summer ends?

Progress isn’t about being perfect, it’s about making small, consistent improvements over time.
Every month is a chance to reset, refocus, and move one step closer to your goals.

Here’s to finishing July strong and welcoming August with a clear plan and fresh perspective.
Have a safe, relaxing weekend! 🌿

One of the biggest tax misconceptions is that filing an extension gives you extra time for everything. It doesn’t.
An extension gives you more time to file your tax return, but it does not extend the deadline to pay any taxes you owe.

If you owed taxes after the original filing deadline, the IRS may continue to charge interest, and penalties may also apply if the balance remains unpaid.

If you weren’t able to pay your full balance by the original due date, don’t ignore it. Filing your return as soon as possible and exploring payment options can help reduce additional costs and get you back on track.

Tax deadlines can be confusing, and every situation is different. If you’re unsure how an extension affects you or your business, we’re here to help you understand your options.
