Head’s up…scammers are trying to call and pretend to be the department of labor or other government agencies to try and get info from you or send you data. Government agencies will not call you. They will snail mail you or email you. Do not give out any information to the callers.

I just got one from someone claiming to be from the Dept. of Labor in a state I don’t reside in and they called my business by the wrong name. It was easy to call out but they may have more accurate information for other businesses.

If you haven’t filed your taxes yet, go file an extension NOW. ⏰ There is no penalty for filing an extension. If you have a corporation, an extension has to be filed for the business (should have been done already) and also got your personal taxes by April 18. 📃

No shame in extensions! Many times it is beneficial to do so. It’s better to make sure they are done right the first time than rush them and have to amend or miss out on 💵 .

BUT even if you are filing an extension, Uncle Sam wants his 💰 now. If you think you may owe money, you will need to make an extension payment for your estimated tax liability.

Is this all stressing you out? Don’t have your numbers together? Hire a kick 🍑 bookkeeping and tax team for next year so you can be sleeping right now instead of doing this. 💤 🛌

Do you know why it's important to keep accurate books? Like really?
Keeping accurate books is not only a legal requirement, but it also helps you make smarter business decisions and grow your business.📚 Here are a few reasons:

📊 Accurate financial records help you understand your business's financial health in the same way going to your doctor for regular check ups can help you stay physically healthy. If you are maintaining clean books, you get to see where you money is coming and going and and identify areas where you can cut costs or invest more.

💰 Accurate books make it easier to file taxes and avoid penalties. Does tax time always sneak up on you? Are you stressing RIGHT NOW about having to figure all your numbers out before April 18th? When you have all your financial records in order, tax time is a breeze AND you are prepared and not surprised with an end of year blow. Not to mention, you are way more likely to claim all the deductions and credits you're entitled to.

📈 Accurate financial statements can help you attract investors and secure financing. When you have a clear picture of your financial situation, you can present a compelling case to potential investors or lenders.

👉 Keeping accurate books can also help you make better business decisions. When you have reliable financial data, you can make informed decisions about hiring, investing, and expanding your business.

But do you still hate doing it or struggle to find the time? We can help! 💪

PSA : Free Money to ease the burden of tax time.
Unclaimed Property for yourself or your business!!!

So every state has a fund for unclaimed property. This happens when a business pays someone, could be a paycheck or even a reimbursement for overpayment or something like that, and that check never gets cashed. Eventually the business turns that money over to the state and if it’s yours, you can claim it.
I help my clients submit money to these places of their employees don’t cash a check and they cannot reach them.

I have found close to $200 in unclaimed money this evening and more for family and friends. You may have some too!

Google unclaimed property and your state. Make sure to go through .gov sites. Sometimes that site will take you to a .com but just make sure you get there through your government site. Don’t want anyone to get phished.

Look up your name, married and maiden. Check any state you have ever lived in.

Share what you found and help others claim their $$$!!!
