Happy New Year!
As we begin the
2025 tax year season, we are sharing important updates regarding
document submission,
security, expectations
and our April 1st hard deadline for the upcoming filing season.
Canopy Tax – Secure Client Portal (Available Again for 2025)

all document uploads
and
communications

need an invitation
or need your access re-sent, please email
team@sanskar.com, and we will promptly send you a link to log in via the desktop or mobile app. Download the
Canopy Tax Portal from the

Our Antioch, Illinois, office remains open for secure drop-off or FedEx delivery.
USPS should not be used for tax correspondence, given the risk of data theft.
For security reasons,
we no longer accept tax documents by email, text, or fax.
109 New Tax Law Changes with 30% IRS Staff Reduction
The latest government budget of 2025 includes 109 new tax law changes vs. 55 changes in 2024. As a result, tax returns this year will take longer to prepare and review. We kindly ask for your patience as we navigate a much more complex filing environment.
We have also observed a sharp increase in IRS discrepancies, following >30% staffing reduction at the IRS. A call to the IRS is now at least a 2 hour wait time.
As a Result, We Will Not Accept Personal Tax Documents After April 1st, 2026
Going forward, we will no longer file extensions for personal tax returns,
due to limited IRS support and higher risk for our clients.
