Important Reminders
Today I would like to pass along a couple of important and timely reminders.
1. Don’t forget, Monday, June 15th is the due date for federal individual tax estimates.
2. Here’s a popular question I get from quite a few clients – should they put their social security number on their check when they pay any tax due with their return or when paying their quarterly estimates?
The answer - no. While the IRS says you should, I recommend never doing that. With tax identity theft becoming a huge problem, I suggest never putting a social security number on your check for any reason. Do, however, include the voucher or quarterly estimate coupon with the check.
