Your Tax Extension Runs Out October 15
Filed an extension back in April? The clock is almost up. If your return is still sitting unfinished, we can help you get it done right and on time. Serving Joliet and all of Will County.
The deadline is real
October 15 is the last day to file your 2025 tax return if you filed an extension. Miss it and penalties and interest start stacking up. The good news: there is still time, and most returns take us just one appointment to finish.
What to bring
Bring what you have and we will sort out the rest. Most people need: Your W2s and 1099s. Last year's return if you have it. Records of any side income. Anything from crypto exchanges (more on that below). Do not worry if your paperwork is a mess. That is literally what we do every day.
Sold crypto this year? Read this.
This is the first year brokers send a new tax form called Form 1099-DA. It reports your digital asset sales to you and to the IRS. So if you sold Bitcoin, Ethereum, or anything else on an exchange, the IRS already knows about it. What the form does not show is what you originally paid. That is called your cost basis, and you need it to figure out whether you made money or lost money on each sale. That is the part that trips most people up. Bring your exchange records or just your login and we will walk through it together. First time dealing with crypto on your taxes? You are not alone. We have been helping first time crypto filers all year.
