The 2025 filing season for 2024 returns is well underway. CT had a hitch getting it’s business tax returns done and into software companies so all CT business returns with 3/15 deadlines are on extension. CT has finished their forms so now it’s up to software companies to get them coded and into production. Hopefully that won’t take too long.
Other than that, the season is running very smoothly in spite of the hacker “Big Balls” and his little unqualified friends ripping the functionality of the government apart with absolutely no plans or forethought. Since no consideration has been given to the risks of handing government information to a known hacker, be extra extra vigilant. They will never acknowledge it was them who sold our info to North Korea, Russia, or Iranian hackers – if they do – so assume they will and act accordingly.
We’re participating in a program offered by Drake – TIO’s tax software provider – that provides a small amount of identity theft and audit protection. Review it in your Client Copy so if anything should happen you can enlist their help.
Filing is Underway
The 2023 filing season for 2022 returns is underway. The portals are set up. You can upload your information as you get it. You are in control of your passwords and, therefore, the security of your information. I highly recommend complex passwords.
You can still fax or mail as well. I have a new fax number this year. I haven’t canceled the old one yet, but I will after April 15th. I want to make sure everyone has the new one. The old 6777 phone number still works, but the masses of spam pouring into it make it almost unusable. You all have my personal number. You can text or call. It’s starting to get a bit more spam, but very little for the most part.
I will not send you information via email that is not password protected, and I’d strongly recommend you not send me unprotected information either. Integrity seems to be in the toilet today. The hassles of password-protecting everything are part of the high cost of low integrity.
Let me know when everything is there, and I’ll finish your return. If you have any questions or problems, let me know.
