Q. Should I wait to make an appointment until after all the stimulus bills pass?

The third stimulus bill is expected to be passed in February or March and affect 2021 income tax returns. We recommend that clients schedule an appointment soon so we have time to examine all the possible deductions and tax implications that may apply.
