The clock is ticking. With the April 15th deadline just days away, it is completely normal for stress to take over. At Carol's Services, we see it every single year: last-minute panic leads to mistakes, and mistakes trigger IRS audits. If you are in Pomona or the surrounding areas and haven't filed your taxes yet, don't hide from the IRS. Follow this 3-step emergency guide TODAY.

1. Stop the Panic and Gather the Basics

You don't need a perfect accounting system right now. For us to help you save your return or protect you from penalties, you just need to gather the essentials:

• Your Income Forms: Your W-2s from employers or 1099 forms if you are an independent contractor or self-employed.
• Valid Identification: ID, Social Security card, or your ITIN number (we will check if it's expired).
• Health Insurance (1095-A): If you have state insurance (Covered CA), this form is absolutely mandatory to avoid an automatic rejection.

2. The Ace Up Your Sleeve: The Extension (Form 4868)

Are you missing a crucial document or afraid you can't pay what you owe? Do not make up numbers or file an incomplete return. The worst financial mistake you can make right now is ignoring the IRS.

3. Take Advantage of Our Special Weekend Hours

Don't let Monday the 13th catch you waiting in endless lines down the street. At Carol's Services, we have decided to open our doors this Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th exclusively to help our Pomona community get through this final stretch of tax season.
