We obviously advocate being proactive rather than reactive but we also understand when life, schedules, apprehension and other issues become obstacles to your tax planning. What we don’t understand is the mentality that somehow your taxes will take care of themselves. They won’t. The taxes you owe won’t pay themselves and the tax refund you may be due won’t deliver itself. You do have to help the process along. But if you’re a tax procrastinator, don’t worry about being judged at Ken-Mar Tax. We get it and we can help at the last minute, after the last minute and of course – before the last minute.
