Taxes, ‘‘tis the season along with Coronavirus. To clear up some misconceptions here are the most recent updates 1) California has issued an extension until 6/15 for those effected, this means you have an additional 2 months to file without interest or penalties being assessed 2) The IRS has not extended the 4/15 filing deadline but if you owe money you can defer payments on personal amounts owed up to 1 million and amounts up to 10 million for corporations for up to 90 day...s. Keep in mind this can change, if you need assistance filing taxes before the 4/15 deadline please reach out to 510-427-1867 or [email protected]

FYI Everyone This form has NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR REFUND. STOP the rumors! The past few days many are posting that if you file Form 8944, you can stop or get your Federal refund that was intercepted as a "hardship." This form is used by tax professionals in some cases when they are unable to e-file their client's returns. THIS FORM WILL NOT HELP YOU. Please, put this rumor to rest.

The IRS announced today that it will begin accepting individual 2019 returns on Jan. 27, 2020. 2019 business returns will be accepted starting Jan. 7, 2020.
