2025 Individual Tax Instructions

Thank you for being a valued SPM&Co client. The following “interview” goes over key questions we need to know to prepare and understand your tax situation as well as confirmation of your contact information and banking information (for direct deposit or electronic tax payments).

Please answer the questions by checking the appropriate box if the answer is “yes” or “no” – if the answer is yes, there most certainly should be additional documentation, explanation and/ or commentary. Also, please, enter in your current contact information as well as confirm your banking information – if you would like direct deposit of your refund, or direct debit of your tax due payment – if you don’t, simply check no.

If you would like a traditional organizer like prior years, please let us know and we will be happy to upload one to your portal.

After completing the “interview”, please send it back along with any source documents. A list of common source documents we will need are listed below. Please note, we can no longer accept documents via email due to security concerns for our clients as well as our firm.

Please plan to send us your complete information as early as possible. For Clients who submit their information after Monday, March 16, 2026, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to complete the returns by April 15th. Not to worry, they will be placed safely on extension. (As always, we will make every effort to complete your tax returns by April 15th, but it is much less likely if we do not have all your information by March 17th.)

Thank you for your cooperation as we continue our efforts to make things more accessible and secure for all our clients. We are pleased to have you as a client and look forward to a successful 2025 filing season!

Sincerely,
Stephan P. McMahon & Company
