2/28/2022

0 Comments

 
Spring is almost here, which is an ideal time to give your home a refresh. As you consider a home renovation project, you may wonder whether you should tackle it yourself or let a professional handle the work.

I’ve provided a brief guide this month on when you should DIY (do it yourself) and when it’s best to hire a professional. I’ve also included a few tips on how to save money on a home renovation. Whatever you decide, you’ll be well-equipped to transform and update your living space!

If you want to hire a service professional, remember, I have an extensive network of contractors, landscapers, painters, etc. Give me a call if you need a recommendation and I’ll be happy to refer you to a top professional!

It’s always smart to get a jumpstart on tax season! The earlier you start getting ready and organized, the less you’ll have to stress about when you file.

This year, as in years past, there are a few changes to the tax policy that you’ll want to be aware of when it’s time to file your tax return. In this month’s piece, you’ll find a brief overview of the most important updates and changes, as well as some information on COVID-19 relief and its effect on your taxes. I’ve also shared a few tips on how to stress less when it comes to filing your taxes.
 
I’m also letting you know that since production of this piece, the tax deadlines have changed (currently due April 18, 2022). Please check IRS.gov for most up to date information. 
 
If you have any questions or need assistance with your taxes, give me a call. I can connect you to a trusted and skilled tax professional in my network. I’m here to help you get a head start on your taxes to make filing a breeze this spring!
