Dear Lottsa clients –
2026 has arrived! And that also means that the 2025 tax season is underway.
Business clients have already received year-end worksheets. Requests for electronic signatures on Engagement Letters will be emailed by mid January. Businesses are required to provide recipients copies of 2025 W2s, 1099s and other informational forms by Monday, February 2.
Individual clients should have received their 2025 tax organizers by mail, or electronically if requested.
On the Worksheets page of this website, there is a resource document about informational forms to help determine if your business has any filing requirements for 2025. If you would like Lottsa to help file any necessary informational returns, please contact the office by January 15th.
Here are some significant dates to note:
- Monday February 2 – Expanded tax season hours begin. The office at 1820 Riverside Avenue is staffed to take calls and receive drop-offs Monday-Friday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm, and Saturday, 10:00 am – 2:00 pm.
- Tuesday, February 10 – 10% Early Bird Discount deadline. To qualify, a completed tax organizer, a signed engagement letter, and ALL materials in the client’s power to produce must be received at Lottsa by 5 pm Tuesday February 10th
- Monday, March 16 – All available materials must be received by March 16th at 5 p.m. at Lottsa to have a fair chance of completion by April 15. This is not a guarantee that your return will be completed by then. This is also the last day to meet with tax preparers.
- Wednesday, April 15 – Regular Tax Deadline to file or extend Individual tax returns (1040).
PARKING: The surface lot between Cedar Ave and 19th Ave remains available to Lottsa clients. The lot no longer uses tickets and no longer has arms at the entrances. This means you can enter the lot on Riverside Avenue and 3rd St. Once in the lot, you will need to use the camera on your cell phone to scan a QR Code, choose the option “Validate at Supported Businesses” and then obtain validation once you come to the Lottsa offices. If you come directly to Lottsa offices, we can assist you with the entire transaction. Use this link to see specific instructions of how to use the new QR Code system to park for free when visiting Lottsa.
We are grateful for the opportunity to work with you!
