Taxes, made clear.
Late August and September are a useful window: check whether this year’s numbers could surprise you, see whether estimated taxes need attention, finish an extended return, and get organized before filing season.
Now · August–September 2026
Four things worth handling before tax season.
KRAS Tax can help you sort what is urgent, what can wait, and what should be organized now. The first conversation is a fit review—not a request for tax documents.
02
Estimated-tax awareness
Many self-employed people have a federal estimated-tax payment due September 15, 2026. Knowing whether payments apply—and whether the amount still matches this year’s income—matters more than guessing later.
Ask about estimated taxes →03
Extension finish-line help
If you filed an extension, October 15, 2026 is the typical finish line for calendar-year individual returns. An extension to file is not an extension to pay. A clear list of missing items is the first step.
Talk through what is pending →04
Get organized before tax season
Separate business and personal activity, catch up bookkeeping, and gather the questions you will want answered. Organized records make filing faster and explanations clearer.
Request a readiness review →Services
Help for where you are now—not only next April.
KRAS Tax starts with straightforward, high-attention work for individuals and owner-operated businesses. Every engagement begins with a scope review so you know whether the practice is the right fit.
Individual tax preparation
Federal and applicable state individual returns, including common credits, deductions, investments, and other personal tax items within the practice’s scope.
Ask about your return →Self-employed tax preparation
Tax preparation for freelancers, consultants, sole proprietors, and single-member LLC owners with organized business records.
Start with the checklist →Extensions and late filing
Help completing an extended or overdue return, identifying missing information, and creating a documented path to filing.
Tell us what is pending →Estimated-tax review
A review of whether estimated payments or withholding may need attention based on year-to-date income—not a substitute for a filed return.
Review estimated taxes →New-business tax orientation
A practical introduction to how a new business is taxed, what to track, and what records will be needed later.
Request an orientation →Tax-readiness review
A focused look at whether records are ready for tax preparation and where cleanup may be needed before filing season.

Work directly with EdonaFrequently asked questions
Know what to expect before sharing tax documents.
No. The checklist is a free organizational tool. It can help you identify questions to raise with your current preparer or determine whether a separate review would be useful.
For many calendar-year taxpayers who make federal estimated-tax payments, the third installment is due September 15, 2026. Whether you need to pay, and how much, depends on your facts. The website checklist is not a payment calculator.
For most calendar-year individual income-tax returns, a timely federal extension generally runs through October 15, 2026. An extension to file is not an extension to pay tax that is already due. State deadlines can differ.
Income-tax returns are generally annual, but self-employed taxpayers may need to make estimated-tax payments during the year. Other recurring filings, such as payroll or sales-tax returns, depend on the business.
The call is used to understand the type of return or issue, determine whether KRAS Tax is a good fit, and explain the likely next step. Detailed calculations and individualized tax advice require a formal engagement.
Once engaged, clients receive instructions for a secure document exchange process. Sensitive tax documents should not be sent through ordinary email or this website form.
No firm is the right fit for every situation. KRAS Tax currently focuses on individual, self-employed, and straightforward owner-operated business matters. More complex work is reviewed before acceptance and may be referred.
