Phone lines have been down at the Marlow office for over 2 weeks! Apparently, some AT&T phone lines were cut by a construction crew? Anyway, you can reach me at the Chickasha office @ 405-222-1041 until they are repaired. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this has caused!

Paying taxes as a cannabis company owner can be...tricky. Section 280E severely limits the deductions for a cannabis company that non-cannabis company can take without issue. However, the IRS is working on providing guidance to cannabis companies (within federal law, of course) on how they can get the maximum tax benefit while still staying in compliance.

Need expert advice? We have many cannabis industry tax clients and will be glad to answer any questions you may have.

Take a closer look at how IRS is working to positively impact filing, payment and reporting compliance on the part of all businesses involved in the growing, distribution and sales of cannabis/marijuana.

Many families received a letter from the IRS this weekend about advance payment of the Child Tax Credit. Here are the answers to some of the frequently asked questions about these letters:
1) The payments you will begin receiving July 15 are advance payment of one-half of the increased Child Tax Credit for tax year 2021.
2) The amount you will receive monthly depends on the age of your child/children. The total child tax credit amounts are $3600 for children under 6 and $3000 for children 6-17. Half of the credit will be paid in monthly installments on the 15th of each month July-December 2021. The other half can be claimed on your 2021 tax return (filed in 2022).
3) The advance payments will be sent to you via direct deposit (similary to the stimulus payments), as long as the IRS has the correct direct deposit information for you. Otherwise, you will get a check in the mail.
4) You can opt out of the advance payments if you would rather claim the full amount of the credit on your 2021 tax return. However, the IRS has not made that utility available on their website yet. It will (hopefully) be available by the end of June.
5) You can still receive the advance Child Tax Credit payments even if you are not required to file a tax return by using the IRS Non-Filers Tool (see below). *NOTE* This tool can also be used by non-filers to claim the 3rd Stimulus Payment ($1400 each).

If you are aren’t required to file a tax return, give us some basic information for the advance Child Tax Credit.
