Keys Taxes

Losing a loved one is incredibly painful—and dealing with taxes afterward can feel confusing and heavy. You don’t have to figure this out alone. When is the final tax return due? In simple terms: The final income return is due on the same date it would have been due if the person were still alive (April 15), There is no special deadline just because of the death. Grief is hard enough—taxes shouldn’t add more stress. If you’re unsure whether a final return is required or what applies to your situation, I’m here to help guide you with care and clarity.

Tax Tip: Filing status isn’t something you pick—it’s determined by your circumstances. Choosing the wrong one can delay refunds, trigger corrections, or lead to penalties, especially after life changes like marriage or divorce.

Tax filing has officially started!

✔️ 1099 = self-employed, no withholding, possible business deductions

Commission-based workers are often 1099 — but not always.
What business expenses can you deduct?
