Joni Tax Service LLC

✨ Allow me to reintroduce myself! ✨

Hi everyone! I’m Joni Curry, owner of Joni Tax Service LLC.

I’ve been preparing tax returns for family for over 10 years, and for the past 4 years I’ve been working professionally as a tax preparer. I continue my tax education each year so I can stay informed and provide quality service to my clients.

I’m also excited to be expanding Joni Tax Service LLC to include bookkeeping services for individuals and small-business owners.

💻 My business is currently virtual, so you can work with me from the comfort of your home. I’m also getting my office ready and plan to offer in-person appointments in the future.

Some of you may have known me previously as Joni Poland. I’m now going by Joni Curry, but it’s still me and still Joni Tax Service LLC. 💛

I’ll be using this page to share tax information, bookkeeping tips, important updates, and things you can do throughout the year to stay better prepared.

To everyone who has supported my business over the years, thank you! And if you’re new to my page, welcome to Joni Tax Service LLC! 💛

💚 A little personal and business update!

If you’ve known me for a while, you may know me as Joni Poland. After my divorce, I changed my last name back to Joni Curry.

So if you search for me or see older certificates, credentials, or business information under Joni Poland — that’s still me! 😊

Same tax professional. Same business. Just a different last name. 💚

And it’s also a good reminder that life changes—marriage, divorce, a new baby, a new job, or moving—can affect your tax situation.

⏰ Filed an extension? Don’t forget about your October 15 deadline!

If you requested an extension to file your federal tax return, now is a good time to start gathering your documents and getting everything ready.

Remember: an extension gives you more time to FILE, not more time to PAY any tax that was due.

Don’t wait until the last minute. 📄💻

💰 Don’t wait until tax season to check your withholding!

Just because federal income tax is coming out of your paycheck doesn’t necessarily mean enough is being withheld.

Take a look at your most recent paystub and check your year-to-date wages and federal income tax withheld. A withholding check during the year gives you time to make adjustments before tax season.

Your bank balance and your business profit are NOT the same thing!

Good bookkeeping helps you understand where your money is coming from, where it’s going, and how your business is actually performing.

Let's talk about a major paycheck mistake most people make: The Form W-4. 📝

When you start a new job, your employer hands you a W-4 to determine how much federal tax is taken out of your check. Most people fill it out once, guess on the steps, and never look at it again.

But did you know that if your total income for the year falls below a certain amount, you might not owe any federal income tax at all?

If you meet the requirements, you can actually claim "EXEMPT" on your W-4. This means your employer stops withholding federal income tax, keeping more money in your pocket every single payday.

Who qualifies for this in 2026?
Generally, if you had a $0 tax liability last year AND you expect your total income this year to be less than the standard deduction for your filing status:

🔹 Single filers: Making under $16,100
🔹 Head of Household: Making under $24,150
🔹 Married Filing Jointly: Making under $32,200

⚠️ Quick Warning: Even if you are exempt from federal income tax, F**A taxes (Social Security and Medicare) will still be withheld. And if you claim exempt but end up making more than the threshold, you will owe the IRS at tax time.

If you are a student working part-time, a retiree with a small gig, or a seasonal worker, checking your W-4 right now can give your paycheck an instant boost.

Not sure if you’re withholding too much or too little? Let's take a look at your pay stubs and plan ahead so there are no surprises next spring!
