Low Stress Updates

Hello Members,

There's a lot going on this week so I am keeping this to fairly low stress things.

Best way to reach me.  Many of you send an email to me by responding to this blog and then save that email address or it "pops up" automatically for future emails.  It is NOT the best way to reach me.  My direct email is mmurphy@thefund.com.  If you reply to this blog or use the email from which this blog comes, it will be delayed by a day or two.  And I have to go through a few more steps to respond to it.   So please use my regular email address and I will get back to you much sooner.   Also, I have a new phone number - 689-244-5456, which should ring direct at my desk and you will not go through a phone attendant. So for what it's worth, some better ways to get in touch with me.

Cybersecurity hints.  It's always a good idea to remind yourself of things you can do to defend yourself against cyberattacks.  ALTA has some great tips.  Here's a link.  Important Yet Affordable Cybersecurity Defenses

And finally, some help from the federal government on some filing deadlines.  FinCEN Provides Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting Relief to Victims of Recent Natural Disasters

Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) announced that certain victims of Hurricane Milton, Hurricane Helene, Hurricane Debby, Hurricane Beryl, and Hurricane Francine will receive an additional six months to submit beneficial ownership information reports, including updates and corrections to prior reports. FinCEN has issued five Notices extending the filing deadlines for reporting companies that 1) have an original reporting deadline beginning one day before the date the specified disaster began and ending 90 days after that date, and 2) are located in an area that is designated both by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as qualifying for individual or public assistance and by the Internal Revenue Service as eligible for tax filing relief. Please refer to the applicable Notice for specific information.

See?  Told you it was low stress.

Let me know how we can help you.
