Why Set Up an
Online IRS Account?

It’s important that as your accounting firm we file the most accurate returns possible to reduce the need to contact the IRS. Our ability to reach the IRS is severely limited, and the lag time for processing mailed returns or responses is well over six months behind.

Here are some tips to ensure your refunds are received timely:

Setup your IRS online account at www.irs.gov
Review your tax documents before you submit them to assure, they are complete.
Confirm the amount of ES-1040 estimated tax payments you made for 2023.

If you have dependents who must file a return or an ex-spouse who may claim the same dependent, make sure in advance who is eligible to file the claim for the dependent(s)

Information about why to set up an online IRS account.
With an online IRS account, you view your account status, make payments (including balances due and estimates, and more), view past payments, confirm economic impact payments received, pull IRS transcripts, and view new IRS notices and letters you received. We hope having your IRS online account will enable us to resolve matters more efficiently, but please note we have no access to your account.

The above items we mentioned are all things that frequently created IRS notices that we had to respond to in previous filing seasons, and any of these issues can also delay your refund.

CURRENT UPDATE TO BOI FILING REQUIRMENTS

The legal situation with the FinCEN BOI filing requirements is still very fluid. Many legal analysts believe that the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) is constitutional and that this legal injunction in Texas could be lifted at any time. It is unclear if FinCen would extend the filing deadline past January 1, 2025. We recommend that business owners who meet the requirements to file continue to file voluntarily to avoid a last-minute push to meet a possible January 1 deadline.

Beneficial owners (BO) are broadly defined and involve owners who directly or indirectly own more than 25% of the entity’s ownership interests or exercise substantial control over the reporting company. Given the severity of the fines, it may be safer to err on the side of overinclusion rather than under inclusion. If you are unsure, contact Jeanne Mann for her counsel. Please understand the importance of talking with Jeanne regarding navigating these reporting requirements.
