Together, we are facing a truly unprecedented situation. The global coronavirus pandemic is affecting all our families, our businesses, our communities, and our way of life. During this time, I wanted to reach out and update you on how we’re approaching the situation at Michael C Allen & Co., CPA’s PLLC.
First and foremost, our hearts go out to anyone who's been impacted by the virus, either directly or indirectly. Our thoughts are especially with those who are sick, to whom we extend our heartfelt wishes for a full recovery. And we're truly inspired by the selfless healthcare workers around the world who are on the front lines working tirelessly to care for people in need.
Second, at Michael C Allen & Co., CPA’s PLLC, as at your homes and companies, we’re focused on the health and safety of our employees, families and communities.
On an effort to prevent the spread of the virus, several of our employees are primarily working remotely from home during this time, while others are working alternate hours, creating social distancing for those in the office. All the employees have been strongly encouraged to keep the 6 feet distance between them and to practice any other safety assurances as well.
All our employees have been directed to stay home if they or a family member are sick. Further measures are in place should a team or family member be exposed or contract the virus.
These steps are necessary to preserve the health of our team and help curtail the spread of the virus while upholding our commitment to you, our clients.
Even with the change of partial employee force working remotely, this shift has been relatively smooth, and we continue to deliver the highest levels of performance, availability, and work to you. During this time, we are committed to continue to service every one of you with the best of our abilities.
We have postponed all of our in-person appointments, but we are fully available via email, phone, online meetings and video conferencing to continue to serve you. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
Third, even as we deal with this pandemic, our team at Michael C Allen & Co., CPA’s PLLC remains laser-focused on your economic concerns. While we all are in uncharted territory, our relentless commitment to your business and personal economic worries is stronger than ever.
Even though the IRS and many states postponed the e-filing date to July 15, 2020, we encourage you continue to send us your tax data. You can mail, e-mail or upload your documents to us. Please contact us if you need us to connect you with our SecureDrawer or SmartVault Facilities.
If you are expecting a refund, we will make sure your return is filed as soon as possible so you can get your refund.
If you have taxes due, the tax returns can still be e-filed, and you can send the payments on or before 7/15/20.
If you scheduled a payment as part of filing your tax return (authorizing an electronic funds withdrawal), you may revoke (cancel) your payment by contacting the U.S. Treasury Financial Agent at 888-353-4537. You must call to make a payment cancellation request no later than 11:59 p.m. ET two business days prior to the scheduled payment date.
We are trying to keep you informed and are here to advise you on any loans or any help that might be available for you, like the Cares Act signed by President Trump on March 27, 2020. (If you did not receive the information on the Cares Act, please contact us).
You can also find information and resources by accessing our website at Michaelallencpa.com.

I recently became a client of Michael C. Allen CPAs PLLC through a referral from a friend. I wasn’t really looking to switch accountants because I thought it would be a hastle. Also, I thought my prior accountant was “fine” and thought all accountants were the same. When I switched and started using Mary from MCA as my accountant I was thrilled by the responsiveness, attention to detail and actual caring attitude that Mary took to spend extra time with me and my wife. She genuinely wanted to make sure everything was done correctly. Mary was an out of the box thinker and pulled her partner into our meeting immediately to explore a tax efficient structure for our 2020 planning. Mary was super knowledgeable of the tax law changes and I think she is brilliant. It is refreshing dealing with a group of professionals who treat your tax return like it is their own! I cannot say enough good things about this family-oriented, sophisticated group of tax professionals. Five stars for sure.

Leaving our former CPA firm and moving to Michael Allen CPA has proven to be a great decision for our firm. The initial concern about making a "change" proved to be well worth it. We realized the return on this decision in our first year! The scope of their knowledge is not limited to tax preparation and tax planning. They have provided 401K guidance, profit sharing as well as payroll solutions. Michael Allen CPA are professional, reliable, and responsive to all our business needs. They genuinely care about their clients' needs and it shows in the bottom line.

I have have been a business owner for over 20 years and have worked with numerous accounting firms. 5 years ago I found myself in an extremely complicated and difficult tax situation. My accountant at the time had no good solution and said I would need to go elsewhere to get more sophisticated support. I interviewed several accounting firms and none had good solutions. I was then introduced to Michael Allen and his team. They took the time to fully understand my issues and then provided we with a plan that sounded great. From that day forward I have had nothing but success with all of my accounting and tax needs. They quickly solved my problems and then provided me with the assistance and support to ensure all of my accounting and tax work was done to perfection moving forward. Michael and his team are the most competent, professional and understanding accounts with whom I have ever worked. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
