YWM Office News- As the new tax season approaches we'd like to offer you some tips on ways you can increase the efficiency of your tax preparation:
- For our business clients, please answer every question on the PBC list sent this month. If a question is N/A please indicate as such. We will have to follow up on all non-responses which will increase the amount of time required to complete your return.
- For our individual clients, please fill out the provided organizer. The organizer is designed to correspond to our tax software, having all of the numbers summarized in one place greatly increases our efficiency in preparing your return.
- Submit all of your information at one time. Receiving piecemeal information greatly increases the amount of time required to prepare your return as we have to revisit and analyze where we're at with the return each time we work with it.
- Get your information in early. Getting us your information prior to mid-March will increase the turn around time to prepare your return.
- If you can't get your information in early consider having us extend your return prior to the deadline. You can then take your time to organize your data as we have suggested above.
These tips should help to increase the efficiency of your return. If you have any questions please let us know.
As we approach year end, many of our business clients may be assessing their current payroll and HR service providers. If your payroll or HR (insurance and workman's compensation) needs are not being met please let us know as we may be able to assist you in resolving your problems or in choosing a new provider. For help, please contact Troy Coon in our office at troy@ywmcpa.com or at the number listed below.
During the month of November Manager Troy Coon and his wife took a trip to Ethiopia with The Cunningham Foundation. The Cunningham Foundation is a non-profit organization headquartered here in Denver and was founded by Noel and Tammy Cunningham. The trip focused on visiting various sites The Cunningham Foundation has financially supported in the past. The trip focused on three main areas close to the capital Addis Ababa. They visited an HIV orphanage that is cared for by the Sisters of Mother Theresa, though the group spent the majority of their time during the trip at a site called Project Mercy. Project Mercy is a community based organization that focuses on education, healthcare and community around an area called Yetabon. During the last part of the trip the group visited a school and library in the Awasa. The library was funded by the Colorado DECA organization. "This was a trip of a lifetime. Although people of Ethiopia do not have much in terms of opportunity or material belongings they are a truly generous and enjoyable people. I cannot say enough about the adventure," says Troy of the experience. If anyone would like to learn more about the Cunningham Foundation or Troy's adventures in Ethiopia feel free to give him a call.
