💡 Kamish & Associates Tip

Always keep your confirmation number and payment receipt for your records. If we’re handling your taxes, having a copy of your receipt helps us ensure everything is properly documented in your file.


🚨 Watch Out for Scams

Only pay through IRS-approved websites. The IRS never calls, texts, or emails demanding immediate payment or threatening arrest. If you're ever unsure—call us first.
