  I’m Bill Zortman and welcome to TAX TALK with TIM NESS---Show 51-03 in our ORIGINAL It’s YOUR Business Series----

 

  That time of year--- people looking at the calendar—realizing—they are just 4 days from Valentine’s Day and 64 days from April 15th----and the Government’s Standing Deadline to pay your taxes.

 

   We enjoy having a long time friend of ours---Tim Ness join us once a month to answer YOUR Questions on the 2025 taxes and getting them paid in 2026.

 

   We know that the TAX MAN Cometh---very well for 20 plus years in a row in Sioux Falls—and the area. Tim Ness—voted Sioux Falls BEST Tax and Bookkeeping servant-----the one who like clockwork helps you get your taxes paid.

 

   As part of that –once a month ---he takes your questions on what is consistently the 2nd Tuesday of the month 9-10AM.

 

   Tim Ness---good morning----nice headlines---President sues IRS for $10 Billion.

 

   As you do every year that you have been on our show—you share---FILE EARLY but MAKE SURE you have ALL OF YOUR TAX Documents.

 

   Tim----what documents are easily forgotten whether it be in 2026 or another year?

 

----------------Tim------------------

    One of the tag tax lines you share in our February Show in other years---Many Farmers need to file by the end of February to avoid estimated TAX PENALTIES---is that still the case---

 

-----------------Tim-----------------

  Tell us about your hours----during this serious Tax Season---and share with you who is on your TAX TEAM---

------------Tim----------

   Most asked questions you are getting ---and is there a rhyme or reason for this 2026----

----------------Tim-------------

   I’m sure is still sticking---one of the important ingredients of 2025—was the fact of the matter---that the IRS WILL NOT ISSUE PAPER CHECKS---and frankly doesn’t want to receive them—so as you have suggested---you would be far better off to set up your or credit union account. My guess is that ---you find that works very well---
