A Season of Thanksgiving
As we welcome November, we enter a special season of thanksgiving—a time to reflect, remember, honor, and express gratitude for the many blessings in our lives.
November reminds us of the importance of appreciating our families, strengthening our communities, honoring those who have served our country, and embracing opportunities to serve and encourage others.
As we prepare to gather around our tables for Thanksgiving, let us remember that gratitude is more than a holiday tradition. It is an attitude of the heart that we can demonstrate each and every day.
Throughout November 2026, we recognize several holidays and special observances, including:
- November 1: All Saints’ Day
- November 2: All Souls’ Day
- November 3: Election Day
- November 8: Diwali
- November 10: United States Marine Corps Birthday
- November 11: Veterans Day
- November 13: World Kindness Day
- November 19: International Men’s Day
- November 26: Thanksgiving Day
- November 27: Native American Heritage Day and Black Friday
- November 29: First Sunday of Advent
- November 30: Cyber Monday
November is also recognized as National Native American Heritage Month and National Family Caregivers Month.
As we journey through this season, The Dockery Ledger encourages each of us to reflect on the blessings for which we are thankful. Whether those blessings include family, friendship, good health, employment, business opportunities, spiritual growth, or simply the gift of another day, we always have a reason to give thanks.
From our family of organizations to yours, we wish you and your loved ones a peaceful, prosperous, and blessed November and a very Happy Thanksgiving!
YEAR-END TAX PLANNING
Prepare Today for Tax Season 2027
As we approach the end of 2026, now is an excellent time to begin preparing for the upcoming 2027 income tax filing season.
Taking proactive steps before December 31, 2026, can help taxpayers organize their financial records, identify potential deductions and credits, evaluate tax-saving opportunities, and avoid unnecessary delays when preparing their federal and state income tax returns.
At Dana M Dockery CPA MS PLLC, we encourage our clients to begin gathering and reviewing important tax documents and financial records now rather than waiting until tax season to discover that essential information is missing.
Your Year-End Tax Planning Checklist
1. Review Your Income and Tax Withholding
Review your most recent pay statements and federal income tax withholding. Significant changes in employment, income, dependents, or other financial circumstances during 2026 may affect your overall tax liability or anticipated refund.
2. Organize Documentation for Deductions and Credits
Begin gathering receipts, statements, and supporting documentation for potential deductions and credits on your 2026 income tax return.
Depending on your individual circumstances and applicable tax laws, these records may include charitable contributions, mortgage interest, education expenses, childcare expenses, business expenses, and other qualifying expenditures.
3. Small Business Owners — Get Your Books in Order
Business owners should begin reconciling bank and credit card accounts, reviewing income and expenses, organizing receipts, updating bookkeeping records, and preparing accurate year-end financial statements.
Maintaining complete and reliable financial records is essential for tax compliance, sound financial management, and informed business decision-making.
4. Review Estimated Tax Payments
Self-employed individuals, business owners, investors, and taxpayers receiving income not subject to withholding should review their estimated tax payments and projected tax liability before year-end.
Addressing potential underpayments early may help minimize unexpected tax obligations and applicable penalties.
5. Update Your Personal Information
Verify that your tax professional has your current address, contact information, banking details, and other relevant information.
Be prepared to provide accurate Social Security numbers or taxpayer identification numbers for yourself, your spouse, and any dependents, as applicable.
Notify your tax professional of significant life changes, including marriage, divorce, childbirth, adoption, retirement, or the purchase or sale of a home.
6. Remember: Documentation Matters
For the 2027 filing season, taxpayers should be prepared to provide appropriate documentation supporting the income, deductions, credits, and other information reported on their returns.
Complete and accurate records allow us to provide professional, efficient, and reliable tax preparation services.
Don’t Wait Until Tax Season
Year-end tax planning provides an opportunity to address important financial and tax matters before December 31, 2026, while there may still be time to implement appropriate strategies.
Every taxpayer’s circumstances are unique. Effective tax planning should reflect each individual’s financial situation, applicable tax laws, and long-term financial goals.
Dana M Dockery CPA MS PLLC encourages all individuals, families, and business owners to remain proactive, organized, and prepared as we close out 2026 and look forward to a successful 2027 tax filing season.

DOCKERY MINISTRIES
November 2026 — Faith, Gratitude, and Service
November promises to be a meaningful month at Dockery Ministries as we embrace a season of thanksgiving, gratitude, reflection, and service to humanity.
Throughout the month, we will continue our mission of encouraging, supporting, and empowering individuals from every walk of life through faith, education, inspiration, and community outreach.
November Daily Inspiration Teaching Series
Women of God in the Holy Bible
Our November 2026 Daily Inspiration teaching series will focus on “Women of God in the Holy Bible.”
Throughout this series, we will explore the lives and experiences of remarkable women recorded in the King James Version of the Holy Bible.
We will examine their faith, courage, wisdom, obedience, perseverance, leadership, and commitment to serving God and humanity.
Their stories remind us that God has always used women to accomplish extraordinary purposes, strengthen families, influence communities, and advance His divine plan.
Each Dockery Ministries Daily Inspiration will feature a selected KJV scripture, an inspirational topic, a devotional reflection, a suggested worship song, a practical daily stewardship action, and prayer.
Our Sunday messages will continue to include an Invitation to Salvation, an Invitation to Membership or Partnership, and a Prayer Over Tithes and Offerings.
Through these messages, we seek to encourage spiritual growth, strengthen our relationship with God, and inspire faithful Christian living.
A Season of Thanksgiving
Cultivating Gratitude and Giving Back
As Thanksgiving approaches, Dockery Ministries will place special emphasis on expressing gratitude and giving back to others.
We encourage everyone to take time throughout November to thank God for His continued provision, reflect upon the blessings received during the year, remember individuals and families experiencing hardship, and seek meaningful opportunities to serve those in need.
Thanksgiving should never be limited to a single day on the calendar. It is an opportunity to cultivate a grateful heart and demonstrate kindness, compassion, generosity, and appreciation throughout every season of life.
Let us remember that one of the greatest expressions of gratitude is our willingness to become a blessing to someone else.
Community Outreach and Assistance
Serving Humanity With Compassion
Dockery Ministries remains committed to assisting individuals and families by connecting them with available community resources and support services.
Our community outreach initiatives include helping individuals navigate resources and programs related to:
- Food assistance and nutritional support
- Housing and rental assistance
- Utility assistance
- Unemployment benefits
- Transportation for medical appointments and employment needs
- Application assistance and community resource navigation
- Other available services designed to support individuals and families
We recognize that navigating community assistance programs can be challenging, particularly for individuals who have limited access to technology or need additional guidance completing applications.
Our goal is to help bridge those gaps by providing encouragement, information, and practical assistance whenever possible.
Honoring Family Caregivers
During National Family Caregivers Month, we extend our sincere appreciation to family members, friends, and professionals who devote their time, energy, resources, and compassion to caring for others.
Caregiving is often an expression of extraordinary love, patience, sacrifice, and commitment.
We honor those who faithfully care for children, aging parents, individuals with disabilities, and loved ones facing difficult circumstances.
May God continue to strengthen, encourage, and bless every caregiver.
Daily Inspiration — 365 Days a Year
The Dockery Ministries Daily Inspiration continues 365 days a year.
We invite you to join us throughout November as we study the Women of God in the Holy Bible, deepen our understanding of God’s Word, and prepare our hearts for Thanksgiving and the approaching Christmas season.
