AHLSTARZ Tax and Accounting Service -- Numbers, Simplified.

AHLSTARZ would like to thank all of its new and existing clients for helping make Tax Season 2010 such a grand success! This year saw a great deal of change in the tax codes at both Federal and State levels. But more importantly it saw a great deal of heartache and frustration for many clients in danger of losing their homes and businesses, not to mention those who have already had to suffer such incredibly humbling circumstances.

There has apparently been some confusion among our clients as to our re-location. Each appointment letter that was sent out this year included a large announcement stating that we have indeed moved to a new address. To further clarify, please note the following:

AHLSTARZ HAS MOVED! AHLSTARZ HAS MOVED! AHLSTARZ HAS MOVED! AHLSTARZ HAS MOVED!
AHLSTARZ HAS MOVED! AHLSTARZ HAS MOVED! AHLSTARZ HAS MOVED! AHLSTARZ HAS MOVED!
AHLSTARZ HAS MOVED! AHLSTARZ HAS MOVED! AHLSTARZ HAS MOVED! AHLSTARZ HAS MOVED!

Many apologies to our patient clients in the delay of receiving your much anticipated appointment letters.

Due to recent acts of nature we were delayed by over a week in sending out our usual appointment cards. The last of the appointment letters we have chosen for this year were mailed out this afternoon. Keep an eye out for yours!

If for any reason you don't receive your appointment letter, or wish to make a change to your pre-scheduled tax appointment, please feel free to contact the office. I'll be glad to help you find an appointment that is more suited for your schedule!

Mark your calendars: the 2009 deadline for 1099 forms is around the corner!

Did you pay someone for services in amounts totaling $600 or more this year? Then you need to file a 1099-MISC for that person or persons with IRS in order to take that money as a deduction.

Below are the 1099 forms deadlines for tax year 2009:

1099 Form----------------------------------------Deadline (Due Date)
