Please know that I will continue to support existing clients with their 2024 tax returns through October 2026. If you receive any IRS or state notices regarding prior years, you can always reach me by email at kathleen@kathleenparkerea.com.
The TaxDome client portal will remain open until October 15, 2026, and I encourage you to download any documents you may need as soon as possible.
If you’re transitioning to a new tax preparer, I’ll gladly coordinate with them to ensure a smooth and supported hand-off. Because there’s currently a shortage of qualified preparers, I recommend beginning your search early. I’ll also share names of trusted professionals as I find them.
It has been an honor and a joy to serve you—through tax seasons, life changes, and all the stories shared along the way. Your trust, patience, and kindness have meant more to me than I can express.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your financial journey.
I wish you and your families continued health, happiness, and peace.
