Current-year tax updates worth checking before you file.

Start with official sources

For federal filing information, review the IRS individual tax filing resources. For Georgia filing requirements, forms, deadlines, and updates, review the Georgia Department of Revenue. The current rule depends on the tax year and the facts of the return.

• IRS individual tax filing resources
• Georgia individual income tax filing guidance
• Current forms and instructions
• Deadline and extension information
• Official notices and correspondence

What we check during preparation

Brandy stays current with changing federal and state requirements, forms, credits, deductions, and documentation standards. During preparation, we check which updates are relevant to the taxpayer in front of us instead of applying a generic checklist.

Why the year matters

A rule that applied to one tax year may not apply to another. Keep the correct prior-year return for reference, but do not assume its treatment, forms, or thresholds automatically carry forward.

A responsible next step

If you are unsure whether a change affects you, bring the question and your records to a consultation. We can identify what needs review and what documentation is needed before a return is finalized.
