(607NewsNow) — As October approaches, business owners are reminded that the deadline for tax returns is just around the corner on October 15th. If you haven’t submitted your paperwork yet, now is the time to get everything in order. This month, we’ll discuss last-minute tax preparation tips and the best ways to communicate with our team during this hectic period.

Last-minute business paperwork

If you haven’t already done so, ensure that all your business paperwork is submitted before the October 15th deadline. This includes financial statements, profit and loss reports, and any necessary forms. The sooner we receive your documents, the better equipped we’ll be to file your returns accurately and on time.

Here are some quick tips for last-minute preparation:

· Double-check your documents: Ensure all financial statements are accurate and complete.

· Maximize your deductions: Review all potential deductions to ensure you’re taking advantage of everything available to you.

· Credits matter: Look into any tax credits that might apply to your business to lower your tax liability.

Effective communication

During this busy time of year, communication is key. However, with so much going on, it can be challenging to connect with our team. That’s why we recommend using email as your primary method of communication.

Why email? Because when we’re juggling a mountain of paperwork, it’s easy for a phone call to slip through the cracks. If you call and we don’t answer, don’t take it personally—we might just be buried under a pile of tax forms!

Sending us an email allows us to prioritize your needs effectively. We promise to get back to you as soon as possible. And hey, we appreciate your patience!
