Hot Topics
Roving & static deadlines
Pennsylvania or federal deadlines that fall on Saturday, Sunday or a holiday shift to the Monday or first business day after the holiday. However, Keystone’s local deadlines do not shift: you must file and pay online or postmark your filing by the deadline to avoid late fees and penalties.
Your Tax Organizer
One of the best ways to make sure you include all required information for tax filing and get all the deductions you’re entitled to is by completing your personalized Tax Organizer. Each year we mail you a Tax Organizer embedded with your prior year’s data. Click here for a sample.
Scams & more scams
The IRS never sends email, so no matter how “real” or intimidating it appears, it is a SCAM. And unless you’ve already received multiple mailed IRS notices, a phone call from the IRS is highly unlikely. In any case, never provide your bank or credit card information or social security number over the phone to someone claiming to be an IRS employee.

Since 2003, Peter and his staff have taken on the burden of tax preparation for me, capably advising me on personal and professional tax strategies and preparing my returns quickly, professionally and perfectly.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t. That maxim goes for any promises from a tax preparer that he or she will save you money on your taxes. Until the professional has delved into your financials and all the documentation that you provide for the tax...
