FAQ

Welcome to the Geeslin Group FAQ section! Here, we’ve compiled answers to the most commonly asked questions about our services, policies, and company values. Whether you’re a new client or a long-time partner, we aim to provide clear and helpful information to address your needs quickly and efficiently.

Do I really need a CPA?

If you only have W-2 income, you might not need a CPA. However, if you own a business or rental property or have more complex finances, professional services can help you save time, avoid mistakes, and maximize your tax benefits.

How do estimated payments work, and why do I need to make them?

Estimated payments are quarterly tax payments for those with income not subject to withholding, such as self-employment or investment income. They help avoid penalties and manage your cash flow by spreading tax payments throughout the year. Making these payments ensures you meet your tax obligations and avoid surprises.

When are my taxes actually due?

Taxes are due on April 15 every year. If the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline is the next business day. Extensions give more time to file, but taxes are still due by April 15.

What's the number one thing I can do to put myself in a better position?

Keep good records throughout the year. Staying organized and asking your CPA questions early on can help you make informed decisions and avoid last-minute stress. Geeslin Group is here to help you every step of the way.

How can I pay less tax?

“It depends” is the most common and most true answer to this question. The most straightforward strategies include contributing more to your retirement account and considering increasing your charitable donations. These are common strategies, but not the only ones available.  For personalized advice, Geeslin Group can provide tailored recommendations based on your specific situation.

I know I need more support, but I don’t know what I need. How can you help me?

At Geeslin Group, we assess your unique financial situation and recommend services that fit your needs, whether tax planning, business consulting, or accounting support. We provide personalized guidance to help you achieve your financial goals.
