2020 tax season is officially over! It’s time to dance! 🎉

Thank you to all of our amazing clients for another great tax season!

Didn’t receive your Stimulus Check for 2020 yet? Have you filed your 2020 Tax Return? If not- we can help you!

If you have not received your stimulus money for 2020 or had a child in 2020 and didn’t receive stimulus for them, by filing your 2020 tax return you will receive the stimulus in the form of a refund on your return.

Reach out to us here at the office at 845-986-8776 so we can assist you in getting the proper refund!

"The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service announced that the federal income tax filing due date for individuals for the 2020 tax year will be automatically extended from April 15, 2021, to May 17, 2021."

"Even with the new deadline, we urge taxpayers to consider filing as soon as possible, especially those who are owed refunds. Filing electronically with direct deposit is the quickest way to get refunds, and it can help some taxpayers more quickly receive any remaining stimulus payments they may be entitled to."

The 2020 tax year is still in full swing over here at Paul Rafanello CPA PLLC! With the new announcement from the IRS, we now have until May 17, 2021 to file 2020 personal tax returns. That being said, it is still a good idea to get your return done as soon as possible. We are here and ready to help you with that! Give us a call at 845-986-8776 to schedule an appointment to get your return started today!
