Dear Tax Client,
We are looking forward to working with you again this year. Beginning January 5th, you can call us to schedule an appointment with your preparer. We will need to have your tax documents one full week before your scheduled appointment in order to give us time to review your information. Or you can elect to get us your information without setting up a specific appointment and we will call you with our questions.

You can mail your information to us or drop it off at our office (we have a letter drop slot next to our door if you come by after hours). Or, if you prefer, you can upload your documents using the secure document upload at our website (www.independenttaxvt.com).

New this year: The IRS is no longer issuing paper refunds. (We are appalled too!) So, if you are getting a refund, we will need your bank routing number and bank account number.

If you receive tips, or overtime pay, we'd like you to save your last pay stub of 2025 and bring it to us, so that we can remove those items from your taxable income.

Any Vermont resident who is a veteran whose adjusted gross income is less than or equal to $25,000 is entitled to receive a $250 refundable tax credit. This credit may be claimed when the individual files their income tax returns. 

Reminder: Property Tax Bills. We need to have a copy of your current property tax bill (in most towns it is a bill that covers part of 2025 and part of 2026. Even if your property taxes are escrowed with your mortgage, you will need to get a copy from your town clerk .

Our annual checklist is enclosed for you to use in collecting your information.

Remember, you can take advantage of our offer to take 10% off our fee for preparing your return by getting the majority of your tax documents to us by February 15th.

Wishing you all a happier, healthier and more prosperous New Year,

The folks at Independent Tax Service
