Due to the global pandemic, extended closures for businesses, and a generally drastic change in lifestyle for most if not all of us, the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service extended the time period for U.S. taxpayers to file tax returns<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The deadline changed from April 15<\/span>th<\/span> to July 15<\/span>th<\/span> in an attempt to give everyone the chance to still file while hopefully obtaining their refund quickly. Moreover, policymakers hoped it would give people time to gather the money needed if they owe taxes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even with the extended deadline, the IRS urges taxpayers who anticipate a refund to file electronically<\/a> as soon as possible. This is because filing electronically and setting up a direct deposit is considered the quickest way to get your refund.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are plenty of apps and online services to help you with taxes or any questions about the process. Those services give you access to a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). That’s a trusted advisor who helps individuals and businesses plan and reach their financial goals. A good CPA will guide you through these processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Benefits of Working With an Online CPA<\/span><\/h2>\n

In order to be ready for the July 15<\/span>th<\/span> deadline, consider working with an online CPA. Not only will it be faster, but it may also be cheaper since most of these services charge lower fees than other CPAs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Taxhub<\/span><\/a>, for example, charges half of what most CPAs do and gives you access to someone with the same expertise as a private accountant. At the same time, Taxhub lets you file from the comfort of your home without complicated guesswork over tax questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, an online CPA with the right technology can offer services to people who couldn\u2019t previously afford traditional access to a CPA. There’s a great balance between tech and live interaction that lets you establish a working relationship with your CPA. You can access their services wherever you are\u2014at home, at the gym, at the park\u2014as long as you have access to an electronic device such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. You don\u2019t have to physically travel to a CPA\u2019s office. That\u2019s particularly important nowadays as we are trying to adhere to social distancing guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n
