November 2026

A little planning now. A clearer path ahead.

Welcome to The Clearer Picture. Each month, we’ll share a few practical tax reminders and reliable resources to help you feel prepared. All services are available remotely nationwide or in person in Weiser, Idaho.

Give your withholding a quick check.

A change in income, family circumstances, or work can change the amount of tax you need to pay during the year. Review your withholding while there is still time to adjust it. If you receive income without withholding, estimated payments may be part of your plan. Gather your recent pay information and talk with us about what has changed before making adjustments.

Keep your tax account credentials to yourself.

Your IRS Online Account credentials belong to you. Avoid sharing them with anyone who offers to retrieve information on your behalf. An Identity Protection PIN can add another safeguard against someone filing a return using your identity. The IRS issues this six-digit number annually. Its IP PIN service has a maintenance period beginning in mid-November, so check the IRS guidance for current availability.

Start a home for your tax records.

Choose one place for income statements, deductible expense records, and IRS letters. Note changes in your name, address, family, or business so they are easy to discuss with your preparer. As tax forms arrive, compare them with your own records and follow up on anything missing or incorrect. A little organization can make your preparation appointment more productive.

Dates to keep on your radar

For taxpayers and employers to whom these requirements apply:

• November 2, 2026: Third-quarter Form 941 generally due; quarterly FUTA deposit due if the applicable undeposited balance exceeds $500.

• November 10: Employees report October cash tips of $20 or more. Extended Form 941 filing deadline applies when all third-quarter taxes were deposited on time and in full.

• December 10: Employees report November cash tips of $20 or more.

• December 15: Monthly schedule depositors generally deposit November withholding; calendar-year corporations generally pay their fourth estimated-tax installment.

These are selected dates, not every filing or deposit obligation. Your entity, deposit schedule, fiscal year, and any applicable relief can change what is due. Source: IRS Publication 509 (2026).
