Tax guidance, plainly written.

A new post every week from Katina — deadlines, IRS notices, refund timing, and the questions clients actually ask.

Extensions aren't a red flag — but they're not a get-out-of-tax-free card. Here's when filing one makes sense and when it doesn't.

The most common IRS notices, what they actually mean in plain English, and the exact next step for each one.

Realistic refund timelines for 2026 — e-file vs paper, direct deposit vs check, and what slows things down.

The exact documents I ask every client to bring (or upload). Print it, check it off, and your appointment runs 30 minutes shorter.

Every date that matters in 2026 — federal filing, extension, quarterly estimates, and the Texas-specific items most filers miss.
