2021 Tax Season 

Thank you for choosing Shechter & Associates LLP to assist you with your tax and accounting needs. We hope to make this tax season a seamless and relaxed process for you. The IRS just released that tax season will officially start on January 24, 2022 and we will begin Saturday appointments on February 12, 2022. We wanted to share some information and helpful links to assist you during this tax season.

Client Portal 

Shechter & Associates LLP now offers a client portal “Canopy Tax”. Our client portal offers an easy way to upload large documents securely and access your current and prior year tax returns. You can even upload documents with Canopy’s mobile app. Canopy’s mobile app is compatible with both iOS and Android. You can find it on both Apple iTunes and Google Play stores.

Safesend

We are using a program called SafeSend Returns to electronically deliver tax returns. 

The email will contain a link that is safe to click.  You will need to provide the last 4 digits of your SSN and enter an Access Code that will be emailed to you in a separate email.  Upon successful verification, you will be able to:

• Download, review and/or print tax returns
• See if you owe taxes, are receiving any refunds and see your estimated tax payments if applicable.
• Electronically sign your personal e-file authorization forms.  For personal returns, the IRS requires identity verification so please do not be alarmed by the personal questions as these are pulled from public databases.
