WOAH! Tax Season is upon us! Hopefully this checklist can help you gather the right documents to hand over to your Accountant! Tax Prep Document Checklist: Basic Personal Info - Social Security Numbers (You + Dependents) - Last Year's tax return Income Documents - W-2 From Employers - 1099s (Freelance work, interest from investments, dividends, retirement distributions) - Income documents from rental properties or side gigs Deduction & Credit Documents - Mortgage Interest Doc (Form 1098) - Student Loan Interest - Childcare Expenses - Charitable Contributions - Medical Expenses (if itemizing) Other Financial Info - Health Savings Account Records - Investment Statements (capital gains/losses) - Retirement Contributions Pro tip: Organize these in a secure folder (digital or physical) - it makes filing faster, easier, and safer. If you put a $10 gift card to a local coffee shop - I'm betting it moves you to the front of the line with your accountant too! If you don't have someone in your corner to do taxes - reach out to me, I can point you to some local, reputable people who will be more than happy to assist you!
Did you know January is Financial Wellness Month? Well, as it's wrapping up, have you thought about revisiting your financial health? Not just your goals - but actually where you are, right now? Just some questions to ask: 1. Do you have an emergency fund? 2. What about your budget? Do you have one of those? If so, is it on track for January? 3. If these are "yes" ask yourself this - "What is one thing I can do this week to move the needle on my financial goals this year?" If it's something I can help you with, or maybe you don't even know where to start - I'd love to chat with you on that process!
Just like that perfect cup of coffee, your financial plan can have layers, flavors and ingredients tailored to your taste. · A dash of savings for security. · A shot of budgeting for control. · A sprinkle of insurance for protection. · And a swirl of goals for the future. When blended just right, it’s your recipe for success. Let's meet and start brewing your financial plan today!
Fraternal Recap 🤝✨ This past weekend, Modern Woodmen of America – Alabama partnered with Sleep in Heavenly Peace to build 30+ beds for children who would otherwise be sleeping on the floor! Our mission is simple: give back and make an impact. We’re honored to have joined forces with the Birmingham South chapter to change lives—sometimes for families we may never meet, but whose futures we’re proud to help brighten. Because no child deserves to sleep on the floor. 🛏️💙 #FraternalRecap #MakeAnImpact #ModernWoodmen #CommunityFirst #SleepInHeavenlyPeace
