SASS Accounting

Laurie W. Ziegler, EA

 

Sass Accounting will close our Grafton office on May 24, 2012 so we can move to our new office in Saukville.  We will be reopening in our new office on June 4, 2012.  Since our staff will be assisting with the move, both locations will remain closed throughout the move.  If you need to contact Sass Accounting during our move, please send an email or leave a voicemail message as we will continue to check our messages during this time.

Our new office is only 4.5 miles north of our current location which is just a 10 minutes drive away!  Sass Accounting will remain located near the center of Ozaukee County for your convenience.  To better serve our clients, we will now have a conference room, private offices, and much more space.

Please note our new address and phone numbers:

221 E. Green Bay Avenue, Saukville, WI 53080.  Our new phone number is (262) 235-4250 and our new fax number is (262) 235-4249.

Earlier this month Laurie went to Washington DC, for the third year in a row to speak to members of the House Ways & Means and Senate Finance Committees regarding tax issues that affect clients.

Laurie is a past President of the Wisconsin Society of Enrolled Agents (WSEA).

The IRS has an app called IRS2Go.  This is a smartphone application that allows taxpayers to check on the status of their refund and obtain helpful information.

Apple users can download the free IRS2Go application by visiting the Apple App Store. Android users can visit the Android Marketplace to download the free IRS2Go app.

We live in a time in which identity theft and fraud is all around us.  One of the most popular forms of fraud is pretending to represent a legitimate company or agency to gain personal information.  The IRS is just one of the many agencies criminals fraudulently represent to facilitate their crime.

Please take a moment to read the attached article from the IRS which explains what you should do if you receive any type of communication from the IRS and what to do if you suspect that it is fraudulent.
