Dear Clients,

In accordance with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control, the State of Texas, and the City of El Paso, to assist in controlling the spread of COVID-19, Wayne J. Belisle, CPA LLC is substantially reducing our in-office work effective Wednesday, March 25, 2020.  We will resume normal operations as soon as possible based on developing circumstances.

We will be working remotely but we will be checking our voice and email messages daily.

What are we doing to assist our clients?

  • The federal tax filing deadline and the related tax payment dates have been extended to July 15th. We ask that you drop off your information as soon as you have everything to avoid having to file an extension after that date.
  • You may still drop off your tax information using our mail slot or by email (wayne@wjb-cpa.com). Please let us know when you do, so we can make sure we received everything.
  • We know many of you need your refunds to pay bills during this time. Accordingly, as we finish your return, we can either email you the return or have it delivered to you so you can review it before we e-file it.  You can send back the required forms by mail, email, fax, or by delivering them to our office.  (Email:  rosemary@wjb-cpa.com) (Fax:  (915) 857-7562)

We will e-file your return only after you let us know that you have reviewed and approved it.

If you give us consent to e-file your return over the phone, we will do so, but we ask that you return your signed forms as soon as possible.

  • Payment is due when your return is complete and before being e-filed with the IRS. To assist clients who are experiencing financial difficulties during this difficult time, we will hold your check or credit card payment until you have received your refund.  For anyone not receiving a refund, we will work with you on a case-by-case basis.
  • If you need tax advice or just have a question, please call or email us. We will get back to you to discuss the situation or set up a phone appointment for a better time.  We can also sign into your computer remotely if your question is QuickBooks related.

We want to thank all of you for your understanding considering the unusual circumstances.  We are committed to doing our part to ensure the safety and well-being of our employees, our clients, and the broader community.

Thank you for being a valued client and member of our family.

Wayne J. Belisle, CPA
