Our Response to COVID-19

Posted by Admin Posted on Mar 18 2020

https://secure.emochila.com/swserve/siteAssets/site14272/images/COVID19ResponseGraphic.jpgThe health and safety of our clients, staff, and those in our community are extremely important to us. In response to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the recommendations from local, state, and federal agencies we have made a few changes that we wanted to make you aware of. 

Our office does remain open at this time.  However, earlier this week we began a "work from home" policy allowing part of our staff to work remotely in an effort to reduce the number of people physically in our office.  All staff are still accessible by email or phone in order to avoid any disruption in normal business activity.  We are also encouraging clients to mail or drop-off their tax documents with a follow-up phone call as an alternative to an in-person meeting.   

In the event that you feel the need to physically come into our office please know that we are taking the following actions:

   - Increased cleaning and sanitizing of surfaces in lobby and commonly used areas

   - Hand sanitizer throughout the office

   - Reducing the number of people physically in the office through our "work from home" policy

   - Offering client phone meetings with mail-in or drop-off options

   - Limited in-person meetings, as necessary

As of now the tax filing deadline is still April 15th.  However, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has announced that most taxpayers will get a 90 day extension to pay federal income taxes that are owed.  More details regarding these tax payment deferments are expected soon. 

Our team is well equipped to continue providing the level of service you have come to expect from us.  If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact us anytime.  We thank you for the trust you have placed in us, and we hope you and your family remain healthy and safe.
