A deposit date is coming, and the fall conversation has not happened yet. Some forms are due before the fall conversation, and Steven Palmieri, a Tax CFO and the Entrepreneur's CFO, keeps those dates from arriving as a surprise by reading each notice in the file.
Sales tax deposits often run monthly or quarterly, on the schedule the permit actually has. Deposits of payroll tax follow the rhythm your provider already uses and the IRS timing attached to that setup. For a large share of Texas entities, the franchise report arrives in May rather than in the fall. None of these wait for an October planning call.
We confirm each date on the notice or the form for that year. If a notice in your file says a different day, the notice wins over this page.
October is for the decisions that are not themselves a deposit. Pay, a remaining estimate, and a look at whether the closed months can carry the return. Those decisions sit next to the filings and leave each deposit on its own due date.
If a filing was missed, we say so plainly and we help assemble what the notice asks for. An exam is outside the work. We can assemble what a notice asks for, and the disclosures page spells that boundary out in full.
Every Texan with children in a public school knows the biggest district in the state keeps its own calendar, separate from the city. We can respect a school year. Filings follow the tax year and the permit, not the first bell.
Put the notices you have in one place before the call. We would rather see the real due date than reconstruct it from memory.
We keep a copy of what was sent and the date it was sent. If a later notice disagrees, we read the notice against that copy. You hear the difference in plain words, including when the notice is right and our copy was the old version.
A filing that needs a payment is scheduled from the cash you actually have. We do not assume the account can cover it because the form says an amount. If the cash is short, you hear that before the due date, with enough time to decide what to send.
Keep the notices in one folder, newest on top. We would rather see a stack than hear a date from memory. After we read them, you get a short order: what is due first, what can wait for the October conversation, and what is already finished. That order is the filing plan. It is updated when a new notice arrives, not when someone feels like reorganizing the year. A finished filing stays in the folder unless a later notice says the date or the amount changed.
Name the form and paste nothing private you would not say on a call.
