Special Announcement

Effective 8AM of March 17, we are postponing all tax preparation appointments for at least the next two weeks. No new appointments will be made and customers with existing appointments will be notified of this postponement. Once tax preparation activities resume, priority appointments will be given to those who were scheduled previously.

The Treasury and IRS are pushing this year's federal tax deadline back by 90 days to July 15th. Michigan has not announced a delay for state taxes.

​For more detailed information from the IRS regarding the tax deadline extension and other COVID-19 updates, visit their website.
"The Internal Revenue Service today urged taxpayers to be on the lookout for a surge of calls and email phishing attempts about the Coronavirus, or COVID-19. These contacts can lead to tax-related fraud and identity theft.
'We urge people to take extra care during this period. The IRS isn't going to call you asking to verify or provide your financial information so you can get an economic impact payment or your refund faster,' said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. 'That also applies to surprise emails that appear to be coming from the IRS. Remember, don't open them or click on attachments or links. Go to IRS.gov for the most up-to-date information.'
Taxpayers should watch not only for emails but text messages, websites and social media attempts that request money or personal information."
