Coronavirus update from Fulbright & Fulbright, CPA, PA and Fulbright Financial Consulting, PA

We are trying to take as many precautions as possible to protect you and our Staff.

 

With everything going on right now we feel it is in everyone's best interests to cease having face-to-face meetings in our office until the Government suggests that Coronavirus cases are managed.


Good news:


If we already have your documents, we should be able to complete your returns by the Original April 15th deadline.  Note, information is changing hourly within the Government (at both the Federal and State levels).  First it was reported that there would be an extended date waiving late payment of tax penalties until  7-15-2020.


Apparently hours later, there was another announcement allowing late filings past the original due date. With this shortened time-frame, we imagine it will be difficult to re-calibrate the Government’s computer systems to disregard penalties and the original due date.  And we do not want clients to receive inadvertent late filing notices. 

Therefore we plan to complete returns by the Original 4-15-2020 due date, if we have all information needed to finalize so that your return can be posted earlier than those who decide to wait. 


If a tax extension is needed, we will communicate with you, if we have some of your information.  CONTACT US to let us know you need a Tax Extension if you have NOT provided your information as of today.
