Welcome back! We are grateful for your continued patronage and look forward to serving you again with the service you deserve from the Peace Team you trust ☮
The IRS will not be accepting e-filed returns until the end of January – date to be determined by the IRS as January 26, 2026.
We are ready to process your tax returns in our Pekin office located at 311 S Railroad Ave, on the corner of 3rd and Broadway, near the driver’s license facility. This is the only location where Accounting Peace Inc meets with clients preparing tax returns. There are no affiliations with prior employees at other locations and there never has been.
We value the relationships we have built and would appreciate the opportunity to continue serving your tax needs with the same dedication and expertise you’ve come to know us for.
Our office # is 309-620-8295. Please pass this on to others who may need this information.
Be sure to have all your tax forms with you at your appointment to avoid delay in completing your return.
For this upcoming tax season, we will be having in-person appointments as well as drop offs to be prepared and ready to pick up once completed.
Office hours: Mon – Fri 9 am – 5 pm, Sat 9 am – 4 pm during tax season beginning February 2, 2026, to April 15th, closed on Sundays.
We will close from 4/16 – 5/04 and will reopen Tuesday 5/5 with non-tax season hours May through January: Tues – Wed – Thurs 10 am – 3 pm, or by appointment.
If you don’t have a specific preparer preference or are new to our office, I’d like to recommend Dolores Snyder, who currently has more availability in her schedule than Michelle due to other administrative obligations. Dolores brings over 12 years of professional tax preparation experience and is truly a delight to work with.
Feel free to schedule an appointment with Dolores by calling our office at 309-620-8295. Rest assured, you’ll be in very capable hands.
Note: If you are returning to our office or new to us this year, please include a copy of your prior year 2024 return with your information.
DROP OFF INFORMATION:
We are always accepting “drop off” tax returns, if an in-person appt is not desired or needed. Please print off a Tax Organizer or Drop off form from the Forms tab on the home page of the website or visit the office for a short drop-off form to complete in person, alerting us of any changes, as you drop off your data. You will be notified when your return is complete, followed by a short meeting to answer any questions, if desired. For mailed in data, please include your name, contact phone #, best times to reach you, and preferred preparer’s name on top of your data including either the Tax Organizer or Drop off form mentioned above noting any changes for 2025. If you are in no hurry, please let us know when you provide your data. We will contact you when they are ready to finalize and arrange for e-file signatures, payment and pick up.
SHARING DOCUMENTS Remotely:
- Share your data with us via our secure document sharing online Portal. If you used it in a prior year, use the same log in info you did last year at shelltax.securefilepro.com
- If you would like access to the secure Portal, please call the office with your name and preferred email address to request an activation email be sent to you (more info will be needed if you are new to our firm). You will then be able to message us and share documents securely thus replacing unsecure email or fax.
Introducing Our $50 Reassurance Plan for 2025 Tax Returns
New for the upcoming tax season: We’re pleased to introduce our Reassurance Plan, available for just $50 when we prepare your 2025 tax return. This plan provides valuable peace of mind by covering up to 4 hours of our professional time to address any IRS or Illinois Department of Revenue notices related to your 2025 return prepared by our office.
For assistance with notices from previous tax years, our standard hourly rate will apply. This new offering reflects our commitment to providing ongoing support and protection for our clients.
Need more time to file? If you know you will need an extension, federal and IL extension forms will be available at the office to pick up paper copies (links shared below to print off) to mail postmarked by 4/15/2026 for a 6-month filing extension to 10/15/2026. FYI: the extension only gives more time to file, not to pay. If you have a balance due or expect to owe, you will need to send $ with the extension forms to avoid a late payment penalty, as payments are due by the 4/15 filing date (IL also.)
Note: IL extension is automatic if filing for a federal extension. The IL extension form is ONLY needed if mailing in a payment to offset potential tax due.
IL-505-I Automatic Extension Payment for Individuals Filing Form IL-1040 (illinois.gov)
Note: The forms at these agency links may not be updated to 2026 just yet but will be soon.
I appreciate each and every one of you, and we will do our best to continue providing the same care and concern this year, and every year, that you know us for.
Peace ☮
Keep Calm and Accounting PEACE on!
